What are you going to do?

How about you?
In English, the word ‘love’ is used to express how we feel about people
(romantically, friends, family) but also to express that we like something (I love football).
A lot has been written about love. For example this poem of Oscar Wilde:
"You don't love someone
for their looks, or their
clothes, or for their fancy car,
but because they sing
a song only you can hear"
Mindmap
Create a mindmap.
In the centre you write down 'Being in love'.
Write down as many words you can think of relating to love (at least 10).
Add these words to the mindmap.
Here you will find tips on how to create a mindmap.

Project A: Reading

The first assignment will test your vocabulary with words from the text.
Assignment 2 is an exercise 'check your understanding' containing questions about the text.
Quotes about friendship:
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Some friends come into our lives for just a short time. Others come and stay forever.
Think about your closest friends. How long have you known each other?
Some people say that their spouse or family member is their best friend.
Others say they have known their closest friends for many years.
And some great friends haven't known each other all that long, but knew right away that there was a connection, or bond, between them. Could it be that there is a twin spirit out there for each of us?
What turns a stranger or acquaintance into a friend?
Do you know right away if you are going to like someone?
Some people think that any stranger can become a friend if they spend enough time together.
That may be true for some people. But one thing most of us agree on is that true friendships seem to happen when people have something in common.
Perhaps we see a part of ourselves in our friends. Maybe seeing the good in them helps us to see the good in us as well.
