2019年2月2日

Dear Cafetalk Community,

I'm proud to announce my new lesson only available in the month of February for "Valentine's Day!" My "Valentine's Day" lesson is called ~ "World's Most Famous Couples in Love!"


Happy Valentine's Day! Have you ever wondered who the 15 most famous couples are throughout history? This fascinating and intriguing lesson is a fun and interesting way to study English. Come find out who fell passionately in love!

Happy Valentine's Day!
As the special day approaches, why not "kill two birds with one stone?" (<-- American idiom)

1.) You can study English in a fun, informative, and intriguing way!

2.) This is an interactive class where you can practice your English reading, speaking, and listening skills.

3.) Discover intriguing facts about 15 famous and passionate love affairs! 

4.) You can learn about Western history at the same time!

[Some of the "World's Most Famous Romantic Couples" are covered in the lesson!]

Where did they meet?
Was it love at first sight?
What was the attraction?

etc.

I will provide a colorful, visually appealing worksheet that provides the material and information covered in the "Valentine's Day" lesson.

1.) You will read 15 short paragraphs in English about each of the well-known couples.

2.)  I will ask you questions in English about what you just read about the first 15 couples.

3.) You are allowed to look at the material to find the answers.

4.) Afterward, we can have a discussion about the material you just learned in the lesson.

[*Note:] --> I recommend this lesson for "intermediate" to "advanced" English-speakers. The reading materials in English are brief and from the "Easy Reads" section - reading level.

Don't worry though... You can look for the answers in the worksheet. Also, you don't have to prepare for anything before the lesson. *If you don't know the answer, I can provide "hints" in English and Japanese, if necessary.
