T:　 Do you remember in Unit 4 we have learned a horror called “Murder in a Country House”? Ask: Can you tell me the main idea of this film?　 ( A doctor is found dead in his house. People don’t know whether he was killed or he killed himself. )

T: Good. The doctor in this film is victim. If he was killed by someone, that is a murder. And the person who killed the doctor is the murderer. The murderer killed the man, and he broke the law, so his act is a kind of crime, and he is the criminal. If we find a man, but we are not sure whether he is the murderer, we can call him a suspect.

Ask: If there is a murder, who will solve it?　 ( The police.)

T: Yes, a person, especially a police officer, whose job is to examine crimes and catch criminals is a detective(n.). So “ Murder in a Country House” is not only a horror film, but also a film about detective(adj.) stories.　

　 Write down these words on the blackboard, and ask students to read together. Ask students to pay attention the word “detective”( n.&adj.)
