T: When Henry and Pickering get home, they will have to talk to Eliza about the tea party. What do you think they will say to her in order to improve her conversational skills but not spoil her confidence? Now work in pairs and work out the speech that Pickering and Henry will make to Eliza. Remember that Eliza is not sure that she convinced Freddy and Clara that she was a lady. So be kind to her as well as give her good advice.

A sample speech：

(E = Eliza; H = Higgins; P = Pickering)

H: You did quite well in the party, really. But I think you need more practice.

E: That's enough. I'm fed up with the drills and those pronunciation and politeness. That's enough!

H: Calm! Young lady! Just think what you're trying to accomplish. Just think what you're dealing with. The majesty and grandeur of the English language is the greatest possession we have. The noblest thoughts that ever flowed through the hearts of men are contained in its extraordinary, imaginative and musical mixtures of sounds. And that's what you've set yourself out to conquer Eliza. And conquer it, you will.

E: But Mrs Pearce says I sound like a French lady. I think I've learned enough to...

P: (interrupt her) Yeah, yeah... I think you look perfect, but there needs some improvement.

E: (become peaceful) OK. Let me try.

P: I know you talked about the weather, but it's not suitable to mention the weather at the party.

H: Your speech has greatly improved. But you still need to learn how to take the chance to speak proper words at a proper time.

P: I think you need more practice in grammar, too.

H: Your use of grammar is much better, but it needs improving. When you dance with Freddy was over, you should say "Thank you" instead of "Thanks you."

P: I believe you will be much better next time.
