This paper attempts to show a new perspective to read James Thurber’s famous short story—A Unicorn in the Garden in the extensive reading class by the way of analyzing the dual dialogues in it based on Halliday’s explanation to his interpersonal function, thus studies the dual implementation of its dual nature: first, to realize the conversation between the heroin and hero through the analysis of their unconventional dialogues; and then realize the actual conversation between the writer and the readers. In this way, students’ interest in extensive reading can be motivated to some degree; furthermore, it can provide students with a new and relatively easy way to combine the learning of basic subjects with more professional ones; finally, students can be aware of the multi-disciplinary demand for the purpose of training excellent English majors with all-around education and providing them with the chance to improve and challenge themselves in extensive reading classroom
