Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Кузовлев 10-11 класс, Просвещение: 1. There is no ‘right’ age to begin dating. Dating may begin as young as 13-14 years old, but becomes common around 16-18. 1) What is similar and what is different in the dating customs of the English-speaking countries and your country? (reading for specific information/extracting cultural information/making comparison) IN AMERICA, BRITAIN AND CANADA Young people often start meeting someone of the opposite sex around the age of 14. They do not need an older person to go with them. Teenagers generally date people of their own age, although girls sometimes date boys two or three years older than they are. IN YOUR COUNTRY How old are young people when they start dating? IN AMERICA, BRITAIN AND CANADA Either a girl or a boy can invite someone on a date. It does not mean that they date regularly only one person. They may go out with one person one week and someone else the next one. Most teenagers go on dates with more than one person. Young people may even date several friends at the same time. Sometimes two couples go together. IN YOUR COUNTRY Who do young people usually date? IN AMERICA, BRITAIN AND CANADA Parents very rarely choose dates for their children. Young people usually meet and choose their own dates. Sometimes, however, someone arranges a date for two people who do not know each other. IN YOUR COUNTRY How do teenagers choose their dates? IN AMERICA, BRITAIN AND CANADA Boys and girls go to parties together. They go on dates to the cinema, dances, roller skating, etc. A boy often goes to pick up his date at her home. Girls may invite boys to parties or other social events. Hand holding and light kissing in public are common. Anything more than light kissing is not generally approved of in public. IN YOUR COUNTRY Where do young people go on dates? IN AMERICA, BRITAIN AND CANADA Dating is often very expensive. Today, even the simplest date can cost over $20.00. A couple on a date may go to the movies and have a snack afterwards. Movies now cost $3.00-$5.00 per person, and a snack can easily cost more than $10.00. The boy and girl often share expenses. Sometimes, however, one person pays for both people. IN YOUR COUNTRY How much does it cost to go on a date? Who is supposed to pay for entertainment when dating? 2) What do these expressions about the dating customs mean? Using the information above explain their meaning, (reading for specific information/learning idioms) 3) These teenagers are speaking about their dating experiences. What dating customs do they mean? (listening/reading for the main idea) My friend Melanie and her boyfriend Mark have been dating for six months already. They go to school together, share lunches, meet at Pizza Hut after school and attend all school activities together. Melanie and Mark date no other people and are always seen together. Charlie and I often go on outings together. We both pay for our own movie tickets and hamburgers and soda We don’t always have enough money to cover our expenses. And this is the answer to the limited budget. It’s a pleasant afternoon what matters more for us, not money. It doesn’t always turn out (оказывается) well. I can only imagine what my date will be like. Will we both enjoy the same kinds of food, music, and films? Will she be pretty? I like this exciting experience. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

Ответ

1) In English-speaking countries young people usually start dating at about 14, while in my country they usually start later. In America, Britain and Canada teenagers often date different people, but in my country many teenagers prefer to date one person regularly. There, boys and girls choose their dates themselves, while in my country parents or friends may sometimes help. They often go to parties, cinemas and dances, and dating can be expensive. In my country the places and customs may be different, and dating is often less formal.
