Task2:Dating in America
Before
marriage, younger Americans date each other, that
is, they often go out
together. Casual dating
usually begins in the early teens, and in the late
teens a pattern
of steady dating develops.
There is a great possibility that one goes to a
dance with
one person, to a football game with
another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes
two couples go out together. This is known as
double dating. Group dating is also
popular
among young people. Large groups of boys and girls
may go around together.
Young people may go
out together for a long time, which is, in effect,
a public
statement of their intention to
marry. Men and women go out together a great deal,
especially those in cities. This is adult
dating. They ski together, dine together, either
at restaurants or in each others homes. The
American dating system is a rather casual
one.
Often young Americans who hardly know each other
go out on dates. It is also
acceptable for
them to arrange a blind date, that is, a date
between two young people
who have not met
before.

Task 3: An
American wedding
American weddings are not
always the same. I‟d like to show you pictures of
my
wedding. When we got engaged ,an
announcement was published in the newspaper.
The announcement typically includes the names
of the bride, the bridegroom and their
parents
and when the wedding is expected to be held. About
a month before the
wedding, we send out
wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This
is the church
where we had the wedding. My
father gave me away to my future husband. Then the
minister stared the wedding ceremony .He
greeted the guests and talked about the
meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows
and gave each other rings. This is the
main
part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister
prayed for us. Then the
minister declared us
husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here
is my sister,
who was a bridesmaid. This is
the bouquet I carried. traditionally, the
unmarried
women gather after the wedding, and
the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one
who catches it will, according to tradition,
be the next person to get married. At the
reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed
each other bites of the cake. Then we
toasted each other with champagne,
Finally the reception was over, the minister
signed the marriage certificate and we were
legally married.

Model 1
I just broke up with Alice!
John: Hey, Se-
Jin, what‟s wrong with you? You look so down!
Se-Jin: Nothing.
John: I know it‟s not
your studies, so it must be girl trouble. You must
have a broken
heart.
Se-Jin: Well, you‟re
right. I just broke up with Alice.
John: Oh,
I‟m sorry. I thought you two were made for each
other.
Se-Jin: Well, you never know. I want to
settle down, but she wants a career while
she‟s still young.
John: Well, it‟s
always difficult to choose between career and
family.
Se-Jin: Maybe you‟re right.
John:
I don‟t know what to say to comfort you, but try
to cheer up!
Se-Jin: Yeah, but it‟s hard to
forget her at the moment. You know, we were
together
for almost three years.
John:
There‟s lots more fish in the sea and you‟ll find
your perfect match!
Model 2 Leo proposed to
me.
Mary: Laura! Guess what! Leo proposed to
me!
Laura: Wow. That‟s wonderful. Did you
accept?
Mary: Not yet. I have some doubts…like
the age factor. I‟m really robbing the cradle
here.
Laura: I know he‟s fur years younger
than you, but he‟s mature for his age.
Mary:
I‟m worried about the cultural differences, too.
Laura: But I can see that both of you have the
same interests and personalities. That‟s
even
more important.
Mary: Maybe you‟re right.
Model 3 There’s something about him.
Jane:
Laura, I know you like Charles a lot, but what do
you like about him?
Laura: Well, there‟s just
something about him.
Jane: Really? What is
this something?
Laura: Well, he‟s mature,
handsome, gentle, and successful. I think he‟s for
me.
Jane: He‟s certainly mature, but don‟t
you think he‟s a little old for you? He‟s almost
twice as old as you are!
Laura: Well, age
shouldn‟t be something that comes in the way of a
person‟s marriage.
Jane: It‟s true that age
isn‟t the most important issue, but what would
your parents
think?
Laura: I don‟t care
what other people think. I just know that I love
him and he loves
me. Love‟s all that
matters.
