Step 1 - Listening

Breaking up
You are going to listen to a conversation between George and Crystal. Crystal wants to break up with her boyfriend and asks George for advice.

  • Listen to the conversation and do exercise 1.
  • Work together with three or four classmates and do exercise 2.

Exercise 2

Discuss the following questions in your group in English:

  • Do you agree with George’s advice?
  • What do you think of the plan Crystal mentions at the end of the audio fragment?
  • What advice would you have given Crystal?

Step 2 - Reading

Dating

  • Read the info box and do exercise 1.
  • Read the text and do exercise 2.

Info box

A pick-up line is something a person says (usually a sentence) to make someone romantically interested in him or her, for example, “Hello beautiful”.

Break-up excuses are some common reasons for ending a relationship with someone.

 

Dating

Dating has come a long way. Prior to the late nineties, if you had a crush on a girl and school was out, you had to search through town in hope of finding her. If you had her number, you could gather your guts and phone her on her family’s telephone line, but you’d have to get through her parents just to talk to her.

Nowadays, teens exchange emoticon-filled messages on social media. Online, users post flattering photos (which probably conceal their major flaws) on their profile and flirt with other users on the site. It almost seems like some teenagers prefer communicating their emotions behind the protection of an electronic screen to talking face to face.

A lot of (young) adults currently use dating apps to find a romantic partner. Most of these apps work in a similar way: You are shown some carefully chosen pictures of app-users that match with your preferences and you can either swipe right (match) or left (no match). Often, there is also some additional information about the person on their profile: where they work, what they enjoy doing in their free time, what they are looking for in a relationship, etc. Even though they are alike, most dating apps have a feature that makes them unique. For example, Happn matches you with people you’ve crossed paths with in real life. On Bumble women make the first move and Breeze matches you with one person a day and arranges a first date for you. Nowadays, there is a dating app out there for everyone.

 

Step 3 - Vocabulary

  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)
  • Do the exercise.

  2. Role B gives their arguments in favour of the statement.
  3. Role C reacts to B’s arguments and gives their arguments against the statement.
  4. Role B reacts to C’s arguments.
  5. Role A thanks Role B and C and says who the winner of the debate is and why.

Step 6 - Writing

  • Introduce the subject.
  • Write about 5 ways to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
