Eating out in America

Eating out in America is an easy and common thing. There are eating places of every sort, informal and small or formal, expensive or inexpensive, and with the food of any country you might like. You choose depending on your purse and mood. If you are going to informal restaurant or café you don't have to make a reservation first. But if you are going to a respectable restaurant it’s a good idea to reserve a table in advance, otherwise you may not get in. When you finally get your table you are given a menu by the waiter or waitress if it is a café. They give you a little time to look it over and then the person waiting on you comes back and takes your order. Typically you would order a salad; lettuce salad is often the only choice, a main course, and a desert. When you are ready to leave you ask for the bill. Americans often pay with a credit card. After the waiter brings back the receipt you put a 15% on the tray in cash, as tips.

Going to the Theater

Many big towns in England have professional theaters now. There are about 200 professional theaters in Great Britain but London is the center of theatrical activity. There are over thirty important theaters in the West End. The Royal Opera House at Covent Garden is the home of opera and ballet. Some theaters stage ‘classics’ and serious drama. A lot of English people are fond of light comedy and musicals. They are very popular in England. The evening performances begin at 7.30 or 8.00 p.m. there is a rush hour at this time in the West End. A lot of people come out of nearby underground station, taxis and private cars drop theater-goers outside the entrance to each theatre. There is another rush hour when the performances are over. It is certainly not easy to book a seat for a good play in London though the seats are not cheap.

The exercise crazy

Old and young, men and women are jogging, dancing, jumping up and down, bending and stretching. Exercise is in fashion. Everybody wants to be fit, feel good, look slim, and stay young. It started with jogging. Millions of Americans put on their new colored sports shoes and fashionable jogging suits and ran through the parks or along the streets for half an hour a day. Then the joggers got the marathon craze. Popular marathons are now held everywhere. Lots of people want to see if they can run 42 kms and do it faster than everyone else. The big city marathons, in London and New York, are important sporting events. Television cameras and newspapers report them in detail. Some remarkable people take part in the marathons: seventy-five year old grandfathers and nine year old grandchildren, and even disabled in wheelchairs. But marathons are not for everyone. Some prefer to get fit at home. For them, there's a big choice of books, cassettes and video programmers with music and instructions. Sometimes the action is more like dancing than exercises. That's why one big company calls it ‘Dancercise’. Taking exercise is only one part of keeping fit. You've got to get slim too. Books and magazines about slimming are bestsellers and these days.

Most British and American state schools provide their students with the option to eat lunch at school, but do they provide them with the option to eat well? Jamie Oliver is one of Britain's most popular stars. He's a young cook whose TV and cookery programs are watched by millions. In his last TV series, he tried to make British school dinner both eatable and healthy. He showed just how poor many school diets were. Many of them contained too many fats and carbohydrates and not enough vitamins. His campaign to get tastier and healthier school meals called Feed me better has caused politicians to take the problem seriously and promise to improve the quality of food on school dinner plates. Obesity is on the increase in all western countries. The biggest causes are bad diet and people being less active than they were in the past. Some people allege that schools also make the problem worse because they allow the sale of fizzy drinks and sugary snacks in school tuck shops and vending machines. Other people believe that advertising is to blame. UK politicians are promoting a voluntary agreement to stop junk food advertising at times when younger children watch the television.

    Tea means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup of tea. Cream teas are popular. You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam.

    A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal- sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms. But nowadays many people just have cereal with milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam or honey. Marmalade and jam are not the same. Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is made with hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting.

    British like food from other countries, too, especially Italian, French, Chinese and Indian. People often get take-away meals. You buy the food at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international.

    On Sunday many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat, either feef, lamb, chicken or pork, with potatoes, vegetables and gravy. Gravy is a sauce made from the meat juices.

    For many people lunch is a quick meal, in cities there are a lot of sandwiches bars, where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want-brown, white or a roll-and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School children can have a hot meal at school, but many just take a snack from home.

    The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it quite early, between 6 and 8 p. m., and often the whole family eats together.

The workbook is an integral part of the Enjoy English / “English with Pleasure” teaching kit for the 9th grade. The content of the workbook is closely related to the textbook and is aimed at consolidating the material studied in the classroom. The workbook contains exercises designed to develop students' grammatical, lexical and spelling skills, as well as to develop writing, reading and listening skills.

Let's start the task.

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story happened to __________________ when they had to leave their home city, London, during the war.

They __________________ to the house of an old Professor who lived in the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station.

He __________________ a wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper.

He himself was a very old man with white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head. The children liked him almost at once. Only Lucy, who was the __________________ of them, felt a little afraid of him.

On their __________________ evening, after dinner, they said good night to the Professor and went upstairs. It was the largest house they had ever seen, so Peter suggested exploring it in the morning.

When the next morning came, there was a steady rain falling. "I wish the weather __________________ more cheerful!" said Edmund.

"Stop complaining, Ed," said Susan. "I think the weather __________________ soon."

"We were going to explore the house," Peter reminded them. He __________________ a sandwich at the moment and was absolutely happy with the whole situation.

Everyone nodded and at that point their amazing adventures __________________.

This manual is an integral part of the educational and methodical set "English" for the 9th grade of the series "Rainbow English" by the authors O. V. Afanasyeva, I. V. Mikheeva, K. M. Baranova. It includes exercises for additional development of the lexical and grammatical material of the textbook.

reasoning

We read the presented texts (this may be one text) in order to have a general idea of ​​​​what is at stake. Then we fill in the blanks.

Number 18. Written personal pronoun THEY, this pronoun is not a subject in the text, therefore, it is necessary to use an object pronoun, namely THEM.

Number 19. Dan verb SEND. First of all, it is necessary to determine in what form the verb should be used: active or passive. While doing the task, we can use the following approaches:

  • First, you can rely directly on the context from which it becomes clear that the children were sent to the old professor's house.
  • Second, the verb SEND is a transitive verb, after which an object is needed, which is not in our sentence, which excludes the active form.

When translating the sentence, it becomes clear that the children could not send the house, which means that the subject THEY is subject to action from another subject or object, it is obvious that the verb must be put in the passive voice. The next step is to determine in which tense form to use the verb, for this we again turn to the context. The first three sentences are used in the simple past tense (Past Simple). Define a time marker. In our case, it is when they had to leave to their home city, London, during the war. Correct form - WERE SENT.

Number 20. The verb NOT/HAVE is given

  1. Context.
  2. Active or passive voice.
  3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice, since the subject he took action. We determine whether the narrative refers to the past tense and in what tense the verbs are used, before and after the gap. Verb lived used in Past Simple, which gives us the right to put this verb at the same time didn't have / did not have. However, in order to emphasize that the actions of one verb obviously occurred before the other, you can put this verb in the Past Perfect ( hadn't had / had not had), which is also a grammatically correct solution to the problem. The sentence uses 2 verbs, where the actions of one obviously occurred before the other, in order to emphasize this fact, we put the verb have in Past Perfect.

Number 21. Given an adjective YOUNG. Before the gap we see the definite article the, which is a marker of the formation of the superlative degree of the adjective. Additional markers are the words of them. From the context it becomes clear that it is necessary to transform the adjective into some form. In our case, this is an excellent form, since the adjective is preceded by a definite article the and additional marker of them (the YOUNGEST of them).

Number 22. Cardinal number ONE, therefore, the only possible form is the ordinal number FIRST.

Number 23. Dan verb BE. Design in the proposal I wish(conditional sentence of type I). It follows from the context that Edmond wanted the weather to be different at the moment he talks about it. In such situations, we use a conditional sentence of type I wish + Past Simple. This construction assumes, regardless of the person, the form of the verb to be (WAS or WERE). Both options are considered correct.

Number 24. Dan verb IMPROVE. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. The context requires the use of the future tense. Phrase I think is an indicator of the grammatical tense of the Future Simple, but does not exclude the use of the construction to be going to, also used to express the future tense. Correct answer - WILL IMPROVE / 'LL IMPROVE / IS GOING TO IMPROVE.

Number 25. Dan verb EAT. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. Presence of a grammar tense indicator at the moment tells us about the need to use the times of the Continuous group, and the presence of the second verb was(Past Simple) requires timing. Correct answer - WAS EATING(Past continuous).

Number 26. Dan verb BEGIN. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. First verb in a sentence NODDED(Past Simple), since events occur sequentially, we again use Past Simple. Correct answer - BEGAN.

Answers to tasks from 18 to 26: 18 - them; 19 - were sent; 20 - did not have/didn't have/had not had/hadn't had; 21 - youngest; 22 - first; 23 - was/were; 24 - will improve / 'll improve / is going to improve; 25 - was eating; 26 - began.

The workbook is part of the "Forward" teaching kit for grade 9 and supplements the textbook with a system of tasks that provide a comprehensive development of skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The notebook includes tests for self-examination with answers.

Task 2

Read the text below. Transform the words printed in capital letters at the end of the lines indicated by numbers 27-32 so that they correspond grammatically and lexically to the content of the text. Fill in the gaps with the given words. Each gap corresponds to a separate task 27–32.

Methodological hint

This part tests word formation skills. The task in the specification is formulated as “tasks for filling in a gap in a connected text by forming a related word from the proposed key word” using suffixes and prefixes. The key to success in completing this task are two factors: the correct definition of the part of speech that needs to be inserted instead of the gap, and the knowledge of word-forming suffixes and prefixes. We read the text, paying attention to the words before and after the gaps. We determine the missing part of speech, as well as whether the missing word has a negative or affirmative connotation.

People travel a lot nowadays. Planes are considered to be the most __________________ means of transport but for some people airports can be a nightmare.

There are __________________ queues when you check in and you waste lots of time if your flight is delayed.

However, there are some airports where you can __________________ enjoy yourself.

For example, you'll never be bored at Hong Kong's international airport. There are thousands of people from __________________ countries here but the passengers never experience any problems because everything is well organised.

There are attendants in red coats, who help you to get from one place to another. It's very good for people with no sense of __________________.

The attendants are always very polite and __________________.

reasoning

Number 27. Planes are considered to be the most ... The construction of the most requires the use of an adjective after itself. To form an adjective from the word COMFORT, you must add the suffix -ABLE. The correct answer is COMFORTABLE.

Number 28. There are _____queues… In this situation, after the construction There are can be both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - queues. Accordingly, we add an adjective. The context requires the use of an adjective meaning "infinite". Prefix BES = suffix LESS in English. Correct answer - ENDLESS.

Number 29.…where you can _________enjoy yourself how? It is logical to use an adverb (adjective + LY). We reread the paragraph with the inserted word - the meaning is preserved. Correct answer - ACTUALLY.

Number 30. There are thousands of people from __________ countries… In this situation, the construction There are can be followed by both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - countries. To from a verb DIFFER to convert the adjective we need to add the suffix -ENT. Correct answer - DIFFERENT.

Number 31.…with no sense of ___________. Sense of direction is a set expression, where direction is a noun. To form from a word DIRECT noun we must add the suffix -ION. Correct answer - DIRECTION.

Number 32. The attendants are always very polite and __________. The context requires the use of a second adjective that carries a positive assessment. To form from a word HELP adjective "responsive" we need to add the suffix - FUL. Correct answer - HELPFUL.

Answers to tasks from 27 to 32: 27 - comfortable; 28 - endless; 29 - actually; 30 - different; 31 – direction; 32 - helpful.

B: Fine, but it was a long one.
A: I bet it was. The flight from Australia can't have been short. And you arrived almost an hour later than was scheduled.
B: Yeah. It was because of the delay in Hong Kong. The weather was awful…
A: I see. But it's all over and you're here at last. Let me help you with your luggage.

A: And one more thing.
B: Yes?
A: I'm checking out tomorrow at noon. Can I leave my suitcase in the luggage room till 5 or 6 pm?
B: Yes, you can, no problem.

You will hear five statements (A, B, C, D, E). Match each speaker's statements with the statements given in list 1-6. Use each statement from list 1-6 only once. There is one extra statement in the assignment.

E-4

Speaker A
When I was a small child, I felt irritated when adults asked me about what I wanted to become in the future. They are still asking. It's irritating, probably because I don't know the answer. I have no idea what job is right for me and I'm afraid of making the wrong choice. Dad says that I should do different summer or part-time jobs in order to understand what I want. And what if I don't understand it then? I don't mind working in the summer but I don't know what temporary job to apply for.

Speaker B
I've always known what I want to do as a career. No, I'm not making ambitious plans about becoming an ingenious scientist, or an astronaut, or a famous actor. I want to work with small children as there's nothing better than helping the curious explore the world. Working in an infant school would be very rewarding. It wouldn't actually be a job for me - it would be a privilege because I'd be enjoying every minute of it. If you say it would be difficult - yes, it would be, but it would never get boring.

Speaker C
Lots of teenagers want to get a summer job but not everyone gets one. The most common mistake is that they start looking for a job when the holidays are in full swing. The job search takes time and you should start it months before the holidays. First, make up a list of jobs you would like to do, then find out about the requirements and contact the employers. If you suit each other, leave your information and discuss the date when you are ready to start.

Speaker D
There are usually lots of opportunities for young people to earn money for things like snacks and drinks, outings and accessories. There are always plenty of vacancies for seasonal workers, waiters, couriers, cleaners etc. Being a full-time student is not an excuse to avoid getting a job. I really don’t think that teenagers can understand the value of money and appreciate their families’ care and support until they start working themselves.

Speaker E
I think that doing temporary and part-time jobs does young people lots of good. I had my first summer job at the age of fifteen. I worked as a pizza seller in a fast-food cafe for two months. I still remember how difficult it was - there were always lots of people, it was hot and my legs and arms hurt. Since then I've worked as a courier, as a seasonal worker (picking apples and cherries) and as a landscape worker.

You will hear a conversation between two classmates. In tasks 1-6, circle the number 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to your choice of answer.

Sally: Are you OK Zach? Hey Zach!

Zach: Oh, it's you, Sally. I was daydreaming.

Sally: You were sleeping, not daydreaming! Did you play computer games all night again?

Zach: Yes, how did you guess?

Sally: That's easy. Your eyes are red, your reactions are slow, and you look sleepy! And your homework isn't done.

Zach: OK, you're right. Just a new game. I couldn't quit before I reached the fifth level. You wouldn't understand as you don't care about computers.

Sally: Why, I do, but I'm not a geek. I have more important things to do than play games for hours.

Zach: Really? And what are you busy with all day long?

Sally: Well, I start with walking my dog. At 8 o'clock sharp I have to be at the picking up point for the school bus. Mum used to drive me to school, but now she's very busy with my little brother, so I have to go by bus.

Zach: I see. Babies are always trouble.

Sally: No, not at all! He's a little darling and I love him! Twice a week, when I don't take my music lessons, I babysit for my mum so that she can read the economic news . She's got a university degree and worked for a financial firm but she had to quit it because of my brother's poor health. She's planning to go back to her career and has to be well informed about everything.

Zach: Yeah, that's important to stay in the profession. And it's nice of you to help her so much. But how do you manage to do your own lessons then?

Sally: The main thing is not to put off the assignments till the very last moment.

Zach: I always put them off...

Sally: And it's important to start with the most difficult subjects - I always do Maths first. Languages ​​and other humanities are easier so French goes the last.

Zach: I see. I find Maths the most difficult, too. And I'm really impressed with your ability to plan your day and stick to the plan. I never do anything on time… I even had to give up my guitar lessons… Do you play an instrument?

Sally: The drums. Mum wanted me to choose the piano, but I think drums are cooler.

Zach: They certainly are. There're lots of people who play the piano but very few drummers. By the way, my friends are looking for a drummer for their band. Are you interested?

Sally: Well…, yes. What sort of music do they play?

Sally: I see. I prefer pop music too. We learn about other music styles in music classes, like jazz, rock and classical, but you can't dance to them.

Zach: True. I can introduce you to the guys. You'll really need my recommendation as no girl's ever played with them. It's always been an all-boy pop band.

Sally: It won't be any more.

Zach: We'll see.

READING

1. My accommodation in Rome
2. New friends
3. Getting the job
4. The working day
5. Plans for next summer
6.Language experience
7. The top tourist attraction
8. General impressions of the country

A) I’ve just returned from Italy, and it was the most beautiful working holiday anyone could dream of. Yes, I saw the Colosseum with my own eyes! It was built in the first century AD - the amphitheater could house as many as 50,000 people. It's difficult to imagine the gladiators fighting there and the public watching the cruel show. There were also fights with lions. Fortunately, there are no lions in the Colosseum now - only cats. And there are a lot of them!

B) The Colosseum was the first thing I wanted to see in Rome, but not the only one that impressed me. I used my camera a lot - Italy is a country with a great cultural heritage. Apart from the views, Italy is a country of delicious food - I’ve never eaten such gorgeous pizzas! I’d have certainly put on some weight if I hadn’t had to walk such a lot - we were saving on transport because Italy is an expensive country.

C) It took us thirty-five minutes every morning to get from the hostel where we were staying to the pizzeria we were working. Our room was very small, it had a poor view, just the house opposite, but that wasn't a problem - we didn't spend much time there anyway. We had only the basics in our room - two beds, hangers for clothes, a little table and one chair. There was a laundry downstairs and a shared kitchen to prepare meals.

D) As for the kitchen, we didn't use it much - we ate at work! Our working day started at 9 am and lasted till 9 pm. We had a long siesta (a break between two and five in the afternoon) which we used for sightseeing in spite of the heat. And in the evening there were usually lots of customers and we had to be quick and attentive so as not to confuse their orders. We felt absolutely exhausted when we came home.

E) Anyway we felt privileged to have got the job. It was Anna, my best friend, who suggested working holidays in Italy. She found the vacancies and sent our CVs to the manager. At first I didn't know what to say as I wasn't sure I wanted to work in summer. But on the other hand, the idea of ​​earning my own money and seeing Italy was very attractive.

F) I'm glad I agreed to Anna's suggestion - we enjoyed living in a new country and meeting new people. Italians are very sociable and easy-going. Our fellow workers showed us lots of interesting places and it was fun to explore the country together. Anna and I really hope that they'll come to Britain one day and we'll be able to show them our country too. We are going to keep in touch.

G) We didn't know Italian when we went there. Some people in the pizzeria spoke English and they helped us a lot. Two weeks later we were able to understand what the customers were asking us about and we spoke basic Italian to them. Italian is beautiful - I like how it sounds and it's not at all difficult. We plan to go on learning it in case we want to work in the pizzeria again.

The Dolphins Team

The Dolphins is a relatively new beach service that has been in operation for three years so far, and we are growing fast. The tourist business in the region is booming. More and more people are coming to the Southern Beach every year and our services are in great demand.
We provide a variety of services to the beachgoers. We lend them beach equipment like parasols and beach chairs, we arrange boat tours, snorkelling and diving expeditions. However, first, and foremost, The Dolphins help swimmers who are in danger. We've got a highly professional rescue team. Last year we were awarded first prize in the national lifeguard competition in which the best teams of the country took part. Being a lifeguard is a job, not entertainment as some people may think. Anyone who wants to join us has to remember that the duty of a lifeguard is not only to be on watch and save careless holidaymakers but to prevent any dangerous situation for them.
Not only excellent physical condition but strong personal skills are necessary as beachgoers are not always very cooperative. Everyone knows that lifeguards fly flags of different colors: the green one indicates that the sea is calm and there’s no danger for swimmers; the yellow flag means that the weather conditions are not very good - swimmers should be very careful and not go too deep. The red flag indicates that the situation is potentially dangerous and swimming is prohibited. It doesn't necessarily mean a storm, it could be a strong current, water pollution, the danger of marine animals attacking or something else. Unfortunately, some people ignore it and go into the water anyway. The beach patrol are not the police - we can't arrest people for disobedience. All we can do is educate people and get them to behave in a civilized way.
This is actually the main reason why we decided to set up our Summer Lifeguard School - we want to make the beach a safer and more civilized place. The school is for children from ten to seventeen who want to spend summer on the beach and learn some lifeguard skills. Anyone who meets the age requirement is admitted. Our instructors will teach them the basic skills of water safety and basic emergency procedures, the language of semaphore (that is how to use flags to transmit a message), how to avoid sunstroke and how to swim in the waves of the sea. Our open-air classes will be useful to everyone. Reckless divers and swimmers will understand that no one, no matter how sporty they are, can be absolutely free of risk in the sea. Those who are afraid to step into the water will learn to control their fear and will learn to swim (under the very close supervision of our instructors).
On completing the summer course, the children will be awarded our Summer Lifeguard School Certificate and we hope some of them will join The Dolphins in the future. To do so, they will have to wait until they turn 18 and gain the Professional Lifeguard Certificate.

Test 1

Relationships with friends and at school

Unit 2 (reading assignments)

  1. Variety helps socializing
  2. The Net socializing
  3. negative socializing
  4. Fears of loneliness
  5. Socializing dominates education
  6. Eager to socialize
  7. family socializing
  8. Kids need more socializing

BUT. Most students that don't have any friends at school get depressed or something because they feel lonely, down, and that nobody wants to talk to them. They also might get those phobia things, like for instance, being insecure when talking to someone, or people, for one of the “first” times. So therefore, when a teacher calls them, they might feel uncomfortable with answering. They also might have stuff going through their heads and can't focus on a test, worksheet, or whatever class assignment.

AT. In many instances, the failure to socialize may be a key factor in qualifying for special education. It is one of the triad of features for a diagnosis of autism, for example. Special education has a very strong emphasis on inclusion, which in significant part provides for increased social interaction. Learning how to get by in society is an absolutely key component to education, irrespective of whether it is the subject of a performance test.

WITH. In order to get through school properly you need to be able to socialize. It is especially important for little children. That’s why in my early childhood education course we are learning that developing ways of having healthy social interactions is so important for children.

D. Various societies have varied socializing skills among their members. It does not mean that one culture is superior to others. It just depends on the way that the civilization under study has progressed. A civilization which has cultivated its young generation with a common set of rules and a uniform educational system is more likely to be at harmony. But on the other hand in the United States of America each minor community brings its culture, its ethnicity and their customs. Having so many socializing influences makes the society more tolerant.

E. My boyfriend used to go out clubbing all the time. But I'm an introvert and I can't stand that way of easy living. I told him how it made me feel but he says he wants to start going out more, he says socializing is part of his path in life. I asked him what it would be like if we had our own place, he said he would be working all day and then out socializing every night except for the weekends, then he would spend it with me, this is what he would be like if we lived together.

F. Every time I use Myspace, Facebook or Bebo, I have a chance to socialize. I use these websites to talk to old friends and make new friends, but the thing is I never ever get that chance to meet a friend, it would be cool to try that, but I don't know what socializing websites guarantee that, I would like a safe teen site, where I can meet and make cool mates.

G. There are two types of socializing, depending on the nature of factors that influence them. One is positive when a person learns through good and happy experiences. Parents teaching their kids from their experiences, learning from books or from peers are some example of positive socializing. Positive socializing can take on the form of natural socializing and planned socializing.

I have a problem socializing with girls

I try to follow the rule ‘treat others the way you want to be treated’. But the thing I've realized is that a lot less seems to bother me than bothers girls. If a girl told me something like ‘I really like you but you’re in a dead end job and I am accustomed to a more expensive lifestyle therefore I wouldn’t compromise.’ I would just say okay.

I don't know, but the way I am, I prefer if people tell me the truth like that so at least I know what's wrong and maybe I can do better next time. However with girls I noticed telling the truth gets me hated. Girls call me rude and everything. I started lying to girls in college recently and I managed to get back relations pretty easily so I can imagine why lots of guys do it.
The interesting thing is the girls seem to suspect that I'm lying but they still smile and go along with it anyway. Telling girls what they want to hear gets me much further than I used to get. I always had difficulty lying to people because of my morals but these results are astonishing. Women always shun me for telling the cold hard truth so I didn't know what to do. So I just started doing what got results.
