The couple’s initial aim is to know each other better, but usually they also date with marriage in mind. So, for me finding a girlfriend is no laughing mater. When I look for a girlfriend, I take several factors into consideration. First, I like a girl who is outgoing, bright and fun. Second, she should be considerate, that is, she cares more about other people. Third, I hope she is not too talkative. I hate girls who can’t stop talking, especially about how great they are. Next, like every other boy, I like her to have a great figure and a nice complexion. Last but not least, it helps if she loves me too. null When I consider a boy to be my boyfriend, he must be, first of all, a nice guy. He should be kind, dependable and honest. He should also be a good listener, especially listen to what I’m talking about, of course. He should also put his career first, be ambitious, hardworking and sociable. And, he should be punctual. Just imagine how frustrating it would be if we went on a date and he kept me waiting in the freezing wind. Finally, physical traits and money are also important to me. It is unrealistic to say they play no role in choosing a boyfriend. But, I don’t care about what others think of his appearance so long as he is attractive to me.

Denise likes Keith very much, but recently he’s been a bit cool and distant. He used to call her every evening, but it’s been a week since he called last time. Today on campus, she saw him having lunch with another female student. Keith was touching this girl’s hands a lot and making her laugh. Denise feels hurt and confused. Just weeks ago, Keith told Denise he loved her. That was the happiest day in her life. Today is undoubtedly the most miserable.Book 2 – Unit 3Script for Video Clip 1null Denise talks to her best friend Christine about the situation Christine: I always thought there was something fishy about Keith. He just didn’t seem sincere. Denise: Don’t say that, Christine. There has to be a reasonable explanation for what he was doing with that girl. Christine: Yeah? Like what? Denise: Like, maybe she’s his cousin or something. Or maybe they’re old friends. Christine: Oh, they’re friends, all right. Very good friends! I wonder if he’s told her that he loves her yet. Denise: Stop! I’m going to call him and get to the bottom of this. Christine: Are you serious? Calling that creep is just a waste of time.

Denise: My mother used to say, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I think I’ll invite Keith out for dinner at his favorite restaurant. I’ll get my hair done and wear my new black dress. Christine: What about his romantic lunch with this other girl? Are you going to mention it? Denise: No, I won’t let on that I saw anything.

Reference 1 >>Reference 2 >>Book 2 – Unit 3nullReference 1 Watching and Discussing I think the main reason that my boyfriend is cool and distant is misunderstanding and lack of communication. I would ask him in person what kind of relationship he is with that girl. I don’t think he will fall in love with somebody else. That’s totally impossible. Maybe that girl is his cousin or childhood acquaintance. I believe our love can stand the test of time. Book 2 – Unit 3nullReference 2 If my boyfriend is cool and distant, that is a sign of breaking up. I would accept the fact and try to leave him with dignity.

Work together and come up with an idea for your own. Then tell the whole class about your idea. Reference 1 >>Reference 2 >>Book 2 – Unit 3nullReference 1 Watching and Discussing Marriage is the result and extension of love. Therefore, romantic love is the most important condition for love. In the past, many people suffered from arranged marriages where love was never an element for consideration. But romantic love will enable the couple to conquer any difficulties in their life together. Thus, it can lead to the healthy psychological development of the couple. They will create a happy and harmonious atmosphere in the family. Book 2 – Unit 3nullReference 2 Love is not the most important condition for marriage because love is romantic whereas marriage is practical. A marriage based on romantic love alone will not last long, for the sense of responsibility is the essence of a successful marriage. Love blinds a man to imperfection, so a marriage based on love alone is only a bet for happiness. Marriage is the combination of many element, such as health, age, education, the approval of parents, etc. These are all very important.

My grandfather just died.” “Thank God,” his date replied. “If yours hadn’t, mine would have had to.”Fun TimeBook 2 – Unit 3A Jokenull I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Fun TimeBook 2 – Unit 3Enjoy a poem: LovenullDon't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. Fun TimeBook 2 – Unit 3null Invite some volunteers to come to the front and read the poem.
