T: What first conclusion can you make?

P1: I think love is passion

P2: I agree that love is friendship plus sex

P3: As for me love is tender

P1: Love is a chemical process

P2: Love is a biological process

P3: Love is a great feeling

T: I hope you'll find the answer in the text "What is Love?" But before we begin reading the text I want you to fill in the first column of your journal. Please, do exercise 1 in your Workbooks. You have one minute to do the task. 

Осмысление

T: Guys, you have the text. While reading it you have to do some notes. I want you to write:

"+" if you see something new for yourself

"-" if you don't know anything about this fact

"?" if you don't understand why/how

"V" if you have already known about it. Then we'll discuss the text.

В это время звучит тихая романтичная музыка.

T: I'd like to hear your opinions.

P1: It is really new for me that excitement is created by adrenaline. When stimulated, the adrenal glands also produce a hormone called cortisone, whose side-effects include feelings of great happiness.

P2: I didn't know that we can give unspoken messages about ourselves every day from the day walk, talk and hold ourselves. I mean our facial expressions, movements, tone of voice, accent and so on.

P3: It's interesting to learn that adrenaline enlarge our pupils. Having large pupils also means that we are more appealing to others.

P4: Frankly speaking I don't understand how people who don't know each other can choose partners who are similar background, social class and upbringing.

P5: As for me I've already known that people are often attracted to others who have a lot in common with them.

P6: It's surprisingly but our facial expression has a big influence on our choice of partner too. People have long-lasting relationship with a similar level of attractiveness.

T: Thank you for your opinions. Now you see seven sentences in front of you. Your task is to complete them (Workbook, ex.3)

T: Are you ready? Let's check our answers. Look at the board, please.

T: What conclusion can you make now?

P: I may suggest that many of us are at least a little bit "in love" most of the time.

Рефлексия

T: I think you've just learnt a lot of interesting information. As you see I divided you in two groups. The members of the first group I'd like to ask to make up a cluster and the members of the second group to make up a cinquain. Then the members of the first group will have to tell us about love according to the cinquain, and the members of the second group according to the cluster.

Учащиеся выполняют групповые работы по выполнению синквейна и кластера.

T: Let's have a look at your cinquain

LOVE

• tender great
• transforms people inspires makes stronger
• Love makes us to take care of other people
• Passion of our life

T: What cluster have you made up?

LOVE

• Symptoms of love
• Biological aspects
• Experiments of researchers
• Psychological aspects

T: Thank you for your work. Let's listen to your stories.

Group2: Love is remarkably common. When we are in love we feel butterflies in our tummies, rapid pulse rate and legs turning to jelly. Love is an excitement which is created by adrenaline. It enlarges our pupils and we become more appealing to others. We are often attracted to others who have a lot in common with us giving unspoken messages. We choose partners who are similar background, social class and upbringing. Facial expression has a big influence on our choice of partners too. People have long-lasting relationship with a similar level of attractiveness. Aside of our ability to rate others, each of us carries a rough estimate in our heads of how attractiveness facially might be. We realize that if we approach someone who is much better-looking than we are, we run risk of being rejected. But nevertheless, one thing is clear: nature has made the whole thing as wonderful and addictive as possible.

Group 1: We think that love is a great tender feeling. It transforms people, inspires and makes them stronger. Love makes us to take care about other people. It's passion of all our life.

T: Brilliant. I have nothing to add. There is only one task we have to do. Open your journals again, think a little and write down what you've learnt about love.
