Leading in Questions
1.Is there any love at first sight? Why?
Yes.The factors for such love can be analyzed as follows: 1)It is the human nature to love anything beautiful;2)Physical attraction is the first seed of love;3)Love in one’s heart is like a hidden fire;
4)Love, whatever form it takes, is usually blind;…
No.The reasons for absence of such love can be deduced as follows: 1)Looks can be deceitful;2)It takes time for true love to grow;3)Love is an integration of two minds into one;4)Such love is like a flash in the pan;…
2.Can true love grow between pen pals or net friends who have never met each other? Why?
Yes.1)Love is a product of communication.It is through lines of communication that both sides know what insight they can get into each other’s inner world, how much they can have in common, and what their unity will hold for either of them.2)Love feeds on mystery about each other.To any of us, what attracts is just something mysterious about others.The same holds true for lovers, because correspondence like this is often characteristic of mystery about each other.3)Love is born of beauty in the distance.As an old Chinese saying goes, distance produces beauty.A case in point is the popular poem—You live at the head of the Yangtze River while I live at its end;I mi you day and night without seeing you ever;but the truth is we drink water from the same river.No.1)Love does not grow without contact between two minds.It is well said that sparks of love shine with frequent clashes of two hearts.No collision of their ideas, no birth of true love.2)True love depends on acceptance of each other’s demerits as well as on hunger for each other’s merits.But such correspondence almost never reflects the weaknees of lovers.3)True love is based on the ups and downs of lovers in daily life.Deprived of such rises and falls in everyday life, lovers find no way to know, understand, and respect each other from all sides, thus making it impoible for both to be sure whether they are a good match.Warm-up activities
