In this lesson, the instructor introduces a part of “The Hitchhiker,” a short story by Roald Dahl, emphasizing that it is not intended for young children despite Dahl’s reputation for children’s literature. Students are encouraged to reflect on perceptions of cars from the past, contrasting feelings of pride associated with owning a luxurious car from 50 years ago against modern viewpoints. Additionally, the concept of hitchhiking is explored, prompting students to consider their comfort level with picking up strangers on the road.
