Break-up excuses are some common reasons for ending a relationship with someone.
Read the sentences. Is it a pick-up line or a break-up excuse?

  • "I'm not ready for a serious relationship right now."
  • "You deserve someone better."
  • "Are your legs tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day long."
  • "You're really great, I'm just an idiot."
  • "Excuse me I have lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?"
  • "Hi. The voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you."
  • "I just want to be friends."
  • "What's your sign?"

Read the questions, the text and make the exercise.

  • What do these words from the text mean?
    • crush (noun)
    • bachelor
    • promiscuous
    • STD
    • chivalry
  • How has dating changed since the late nineties, according to the author?
  • Does the author think dating requires more courage nowadays.
  • According to the author, why is speed dating important in China?
  • How has western society changed, morally, for the author?
  • “Chivalry is dead.” – what does this statement mean?

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 hopes of physically 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 father (or mother) just to talk to her. Nowadays, teens exchange emoticon-filled messages on cell phones and social networking sites. 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 kids prefer communicating their emotions behind the protection of an electronic screen to talking face to face.

Speed dating has also become more commonplace. These ultra-efficient events are arranged to give bachelors and bachelorettes the opportunity to meet as many eligible candidates as possible within a specific time. These events can be massive in countries like China, where a nationally imbalanced ratio of men to women has intensified the pressure to get married by the right age. More traditional approaches, such as posting personal ads in a newspaper’s classified section, are still around as well.

Morally speaking, Western society seems to be becoming increasingly promiscuous. One-night stands and flings are becoming commonplace. Due to the rise of STDs, contraceptive use and medical testing has become increasingly important as well.

An interesting question concerns the issue of chivalry: the custom from in the Middle Ages of treating women with honor by opening doors for them (commonly expressed by the “ladies first” mentality). Nowadays, people say chivalry is dead. That may be true, but the question remains: who killed it — men or women?

Step 3 - Vocabulary

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

Vocabularylist In and out of love

Step 4 - Grammar

Life, live or lives
Do you know when to use 'live', 'lives' or 'life'?

Look at the examples. Do you recognize the different meanings?

  • Peter lives in Poland.
  • Life is short. Many people lost their lives in the war.
  • It was a live concert.

Now do the following assignment.

Step 5 - Speaking

A debate about dating
You have read a text about dating. Now you are going to debate about the subject.

  • Read the statement.
  • Divide the roles.
  • Prepare the roles using key words (2 minutes).
  • Debate.

Statement
You should be at least 18 before you can start dating.

Role A
You are going to lead the debate. Prepare the introduction of the statement and give some extra information (use the text: Dating from step 2).

Role B
Prepare arguments in favour of the statement.

Role C
Prepare arguments against the statement.

Role D
You are going to judge which arguments are the most convincing. Help the leader (role A) to prepare the introduction.

Step 6 - Writing

An article about breaking up
You’ve been asked to write an article in your school paper about breaking up.

  • Introduce the subject.
  • Think of 5 ways to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
    (You are allowed to use the Internet to get some inspiration).
  • In your conclusion write down what you think is the best way.

Ask your teacher how many words you have to use.

Lyrics

See the mirror in your eyes
See the truth behind your lies
Your lies are haunting me
See the reason in your eyes
Giving answer to the why
Your eyes are haunting me!

Falling in & out of love
in love, in love
Falling in & out of love
your love, your love

See the mirror in your eyes
see the truth behind your lies
Your lies are haunting me
see the reason in your eyes
Giving answer to the why
Your eyes are haunting me!
