7:10~7:15 Break time

7:15~7: 45 Topic1. marriage.

Men, the stereotype goes, are dragged to the altar, fingernails clawing the floor of the church aisle into splinters until the very last step. There may be some truth to that, but once the marriage is underway, the shoe seems to migrate pretty quickly to the other foot.

Buried in the statistics of a new Pew survey, which informed TIME's current cover story, are a bunch of interesting numbers about how men feel about marriage. And on the whole, guys seem to be fonder of the institution into which they were allegedly drafted than women.

For example, 38% of men say it's easier for a married person to find happiness than a single person, while only 22% of women feel that way. (This doesn't mean that 62% of men think it's easier for a single person to find happiness, however; the biggest chunk think married and unmarried people have about an equal shot at happiness.) More men than women believe it's easier for married people to raise children, get ahead in a career and be socially accepted. (Read TIME's 2009 cover story, "Is There Hope for the American Marriage?")

That's regarding marriage in general, of course. Those men may simply be saying society generally accords higher status to married people than singletons. But when asked more personal questions, men were still more positive about life in a legal union. Twice as many divorced or widowed men (32%) than women in the same position (16%) say they want to get married again. (Again, that doesn't mean all of the others said they didn't want to get married again. There was a third choice: not sure. Roughly a third of men were in each category. More than half the women weren't sure.) (More on Time.com: 5 Little-Known Truths About American Sex Lives)

Even with all the changes in the structure of a marriage brought on by the rising economic independence of women, and all the vexation it has caused on the home front trying to figure out what those changes mean, most of the men surveyed (55%) said they had a closer relationship with their spouse than their parents did. Interestingly, only 46% of women felt the same way.

It may be that after all, men are just more romantic than women, with all the benefits and problems that brings with it: almost a third of the men surveyed believe that there is just one perfect match for every human. (And no, there's no evidence.

<Questions>

7:45~7:55 Break time

7:55~8:30 Topic2. manners.

 • When you meet a lady you've been corresponding it is a good idea to present her a small gift (candies, flowers). It is meant to be done as a matter of politeness.

• Do not shake hands with the lady whom you meet after long correspondence for the first time in real life, it is too formal, exchange some light gentle cheek kisses with her, don't kiss her in her forehead(funeral kiss). Also, in the winter, make sure you take off your right glove before you shake hands with a man.

• Don't give even number of flowers to woman, even number is for funeral ceremony. 3,7,9 are fine.

• Offer your lady your arm. Usually, men and women do not hold hands in Ukraine when they walk together. Instead, the woman takes the man's arm. Be sure you always offer your arm to your lady when you cross the street. Help your lady onto/off of vehicles. Many Westerners are not accustomed to using public transportation systems and forget this courtesy. When the two of you get onto or off of buses, trams, taxis, etc., always extend your hand to help your lady.

• Yellow roses are a symbol of separation. Think before buying a bouquet of those!

• Always open the doors in front of the lady. Ladies first!

• Being at bar, restaurant, cafe always pull the chair for lady to have a seat

• You should be the one to serve food and drinks. Always do the pouring. When at dinner or at a bar, always make sure that your lady's glass is full. The man always does the pouring. This is an old custom but very deeply ingrained. If you forget to do this, she may think you have no table manners.

• Don't drink much alcohol. One of the main reasons Ukrainian ladies are interested in Western men is that alcoholism runs as much as 50% among males in this part of the world, which causes them to be less than desirable husbands. Therefore, when it comes to drinking, you should always show moderation and self-control.

• Always help your lady with her coat or jacket! Otherwise she will think you are impolite

• Going to her parents don't go without a present. Present flowers for her mother!

• Don't start emotional speeches about politics at first meeting, your lady will have a different viewpoint for sure, you will get in a fight :)

• Do not shake hands across the threshold of a door. Locals consider it as bad luck.

• Do not whistle. There is saying here that you will not have money if you whistle.

<Questions>

1. Talk about some things that you don’t have to do it first meeting someone.

2. Do you think you have good manners? Why?

3. What are some questions that are rude to ask when you first meet someone? What kinds of questions make you feel uncomfortable?

4. Who is the rudest person you know? Describe what he/she is like.
