http://szdaily.sznews.com/html/2012-10/29/content_2254585.htm

Practice the conversation; study the vocabulary; then discuss the questions with a friend in English.

Questions:
1. Do you know anything about Aeschylus or any of his plays? If so, talk about them.
2. How do you think a "lost play" could become lost? (Remember, it has been 2,500 years!)
3. What's the difference between a tragedy and a comedy?
