Hello, Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. We have an assignment to talk about having relationship with people how to meet people in each other’s country. I’ll talk about how to meet people in my country. We usually meet each other in school actually in college. They were just friends at the beginning of the semester and then they were knowing each other better and better. If someone likes someone usually men talk girls first. The couple usually takes the classes together and joins the club together. However, when they broke up, it’s hard to face each other because they did almost everything together. The man followed where the woman goes and the woman followed the man wherever he was going. It’s kind of hard to break up in the same major classes. Some people try to not to make a couple in the same major in the school. They find someone in a union group. It’s like many college students have a meeting once in a while. It’s like the club, but the different thing is different college students join the club. They can meet different college’s people in the group meeting. Usually, College freshmen have a meeting, so their boyfriends and girlfriends meet in that meeting. Some people introduce his or her friends in her major class from her school to the other college. They didn’t know each other. Sometimes few people knew each other before. We have a party because when people don’t know each other, the mood is so quiet. We usually go to the bar at the first meeting. We play a game, drink alcohol. We are getting friendly the almost end of the time. The host or hostess is trying to make couples n that meeting. Sometimes we collect each other’s belongs, such as, a key holder, small things. We put those in the hat or in the basket. They pick up just one by person. If a guy picks up a some girl’s belonging, they are gonna be a couple in that meeting. If they don’t like each other, it doesn’t matter. They are just a couple in that meeting not anymore. It’s not that important. If they like each other, they are really going to be a couple for a long time. How to make a couple is the last of the meeting that we are rolling the papers. They write on the paper their information, such as, telephone number, e-mail address and the last they got their paper and then there are also the other’s information. If I like one guy, I call him because it just first meeting to see each other. I need to know him more. Sometimes people make a girlfriend or a boyfriend on the Internet. They chat on the Internet and then they talk to each other on the phone. If they liked each other on the Internet, they make and appointment and they really meet in person. After they met, if they like each, they will be a couple. If they disappointed each other’s look, they stop keeping on touch and they don’t call each other anymore. I think the couple, the man and the woman should really respect each other. It’s the most important thing ever. If they don’t respect each other, they separate soon. If one of the couple has to do something, the other one should follow the other’s schedule.
