Dating Mini-Story Lesson

Hi. Welcome to the mini-story lesson for the conversation “Dating.”

Let’s get started with the story now.

* * * * *

Carly the cat was ready to stop dating. She only seemed to meet total losers.

Then on December 31, her luck changed. She ran into her friend Katie the cougar at the library. Katie

moved to Africa three years ago. They had not been in touch since then but Katie was now living in

America again.

Katie wanted to set her up on a blind date with her friend Timmy the tiger. Carly thought that all blind

dates were a recipe for disaster. But she agreed to go out with Timmy one time.

One month later Katie saw Carly at a café. She was bursting at the seams. She and Timmy had fallen

in love.

“Thank you so much, Katie,” Carly said, “Timmy is really head and shoulders above the rest.”

* * * * *

Okay, so that’s our story. Now this time I will read the story again and I will ask you questions. You can

answer the questions out loud and if you need a little more time, please just pause your iPod or your

computer and then press play again when you’re ready to actually answer the question. But if you just feel

like sitting back and listening and not answering the questions out loud, that’s fine, too.

Alright, here we go.
