Ý tưởng cho phần “Presenting topic”:

1. The social convention of 20th century restricted women’s rights, positions as

well as behaviors. So if the main character in the story comes to call the man, she
may be considered not a virtuous or dignified woman.

2. We aren’t sure whether the man truly falls for the woman in the story or he just
wants to play around with girls including the main character. (If there’s a girl that a
boy really likes, she may literally do nothing other than enjoy. As the boy will
always be there, chasing after her even if she likes it or not.)

3. We can guess from the content of the story that the woman is in the state of
feeling “ start liking someone” (she was hyperactive just because of being
addressed “darling” twice - a new relationship). As regards long-term relationship,
to be the one who seizes the initiative in love is absolutely not a good option for
girls. You may scare the boy away for acting too hastily at the very first begining.
(Also a boy doesn’t seem to appreciate the girl whom he can approach easily)

Câu hỏi:

1. You suggest the girl should wait no matter how deeply distressed she has been,
but if the man here really falls for the wowan and actually can’t call her (because
of certain accidents??), isn’t calling him first the best choice? She can both know
why he hasn’t made a phone call yet and no longer suffer from her sense of
insecurity.

- In a early stage of a new relationship, anyone (including the main character) may
exaggerate at first. But after a short while, this feeling may fade away as quickly as
how it comes.

- There are plenty more fish in the sea. Not calling someone does not mean we
have to wait in vain. Instead, we have our chances to meet many ones new. We as
girls deserve better ones - not the one keeps us waiting. Not call? => forget and
move on.

2. There are many couples that have got happy endings, despite the fact that the
girsl are the ones who take the first step, even in the past as well as nowaday.

- There are many, but not usually. Maybe 3 out of 10 cases?

- This way is just for girls with “strong personalities”, not very common. Do you
think yourself have the courage to make the first move? Any girl in our class today
think yourself can start flirting with a boy or confess your love first? Please raise
your hand!!??
