Gender Readings. Top Ten. Ренц Т.Г - 30 стр.

F. Subjects for discussion:
The girl
      1. How does the girl react when the young man arrives late?
      2. In what way does she try to hide her real feelings when he
tells her how wonderful Carol is?
      3. Why does she keep on talking about Wally? Do you think she
is really interested in him? Why does she tell the young man about all
the people who want to take her out to tea?
      4. What are the girl’s views on liquor?
The boy
      1. Describe the boy — his appearance, his character, his main
interests.
      2. What is his attitude to the girl? Is he fond of her or not? How
can you tell?
      3. What is his attitude to girls in general?
      4. What are the main differences between the young man and the girl?
      5. Why is the story called “The Last Tea”?
General discussion:
      This story tells us quite a lot about the way young people mix
with each other in America; the “dating” system, parties, dancing.
What are your own views on dating?
G. Written work:
      Write an entry for the girl’s diary describing her feelings in the
tea-room and what had happened there.
     OR
     Write a letter from the young man to his best friend telling him
about meeting Carol and about meeting the other girl in the tea-room
next day.
