Task 2: Communication with people

Before the wedding, the groom made an unusual proposal to the priest. "Listen, if you change your wedding vows, I will give you 100 dollars. "When you say that I should promise to' love her, respect her, obey her',' give up everything else' and' be loyal to her forever', I will be very happy if you can remove this part." He gave the minister cash and walked away easily. When the wedding day comes, the bride and groom arrive at this part of the ceremony, and they will swear to each other. When the groom took the oath, the priest looked the young man in the eye and said, "Can you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, provide her with breakfast in bed every morning, and swear before God and your lovely wife that you will never look at other women in your lifetime?" The groom was shocked, but he couldn't help whispering, "OK, I will." Then the groom whispered to the priest, "I think we have an agreement." The priest put 100 dollars into his hand and whispered, "She gave me a much better price."

Task 3: Long distance relationship

American weddings are not always the same. I want to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, there was an announcement in the newspaper. The announcement usually includes the names of the bride, groom and their parents, and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to our relatives and friends. This is the church where we got married. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the priest started the wedding. He greeted the guests and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchange vows and give each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After taking the oath, the priest prayed for us. Then the priest declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. This is my sister. She is the maid of honor. This is the bouquet I brought. Traditionally, unmarried women get together after the wedding and the bride throws them a bouquet. According to tradition, the person who catches it will be the next person to get married. At the wedding banquet, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other cakes. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally, the reception was over, the priest signed the marriage certificate, and we were officially married.

Model 1 I just broke up with Alice!

John: Hey, Shizhen, what's wrong with you? You look depressed!

Shizhen: Well, you're right. I just broke up with Alice.

John: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.

Shizhen: Well, you never know. I want to settle down, but she wants to have her own career when she is young.

John: Well, it's always difficult to choose between career and family.

Shizhen: Maybe you are right.

John: I don't know what to say to comfort you, but try to cheer up!

Shizhen: Yes, but it's hard to forget her now. You know, we've been together for almost three years.

John: There are plenty of fish in the sea. You will find your perfect partner!

It's your turn now.

Why do you look so depressed?

Laura: I know he is a few years younger than you, but he is very mature for his age.

Mary: I'm also worried about cultural differences.

Jane: He is really mature, but don't you think he is a little old for you? He is almost twice your age!

Laura: Well, age should not be an obstacle to a person's marriage.

Jane: Age is really not the most important issue, but what will your parents think?

Laura: I don't care what others think. I only know that I love him and he loves me. Love is the most important thing.

But what will your parents and friends think?

I'm not too worried about what others think. For me, love is the most important thing

Verb (short for verb) Let's talk about it.

appointment

Before marriage, American young people will date, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in early adolescence, and in late adolescence, a stable dating model begins to take shape. A person is likely to go dancing with one person, watch a football match with another person and have a picnic with a third person. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is the so-called "double dating". Group dating is also very popular among young people. A large group of boys and girls may go out together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is actually a public statement of their intention to get married. Men and women often go out together, especially in cities. This is an "adult date". They ski together and eat together, either in a restaurant or at each other's home. The dating system in America is quite arbitrary. Young Americans who hardly know each other often 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 never met.

Task 1: Find the right girl

Keith: Hey, Peter! You were in your room all night. Go out and dance with someone like that beautiful woman over there.

Peter: No way, Keith! She is an intellectual type. My pickup line didn't work for her.

Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?

Peter: I want a gentle girl, and that baby is not my type.

Keith: Times are changing. You can't find a woman who will always shine your shoes and drink beer. Wake up.

Peter: Oh, really? I still like women who stay at home, cook, clean and take care of children.

Keith: OK, what will you do when you get home from work?

Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV and throw garbage.

Keith: Victor, wait, wait. I can't believe my ears. You'll never find a wife.

Task 2: He thinks I am God.

A young woman took her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother told her father to learn about the young man's plan. Father invited his fiance to his study for a drink.

"So what's your plan?" Father asked the young man.

"I am a Bible student," he replied.

"A Bible student. Hmm. " Father said. "Good, but how can you provide my daughter with a good house as she is used to?"

"I will study," replied the young man. "God will provide us with everything."

"How do you buy her a beautiful engagement ring that she deserves?" Father asked.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied. "God will provide for us."

"There are children?" Father asked. "How will you raise your children?"

"Don't worry, Sir. God will provide it, "replied the fiance.

The dialogue goes like this. Every time his father asks him a question, the young man insists that God will provide it. After a while, mother asked, "What's up, dear?"

My father replied, "He has no job or plan, but the good news is that he thinks I am God."

Ma 'am, all these years I thought I'd never find you again.
