Intermediate_B1: 2nd Session_Fashion and Lies by Marisa Marmo

 Dear members of the Reading Club, 

It's time to post your comments about what you have read during this week. 

So, please, choose a question to answer from the following ones: 

a) Why at Folly Fashion the turnover was down and profits were decreasing meanwhile Crane Creations increased sales, turnover, and profits?

b) Was it OK that Laura accepted George's invitation immediately without knowing anything about him

c) Why do parents interfere in relationships? 

d) Did Manuel really give a hand to Laura with the purchase?

e) Is it OK to make a person fall in love with you to only get benefits?

Then, choose a partner to interact with and reply to his/her post.

Best,

Jimena Rivadeneira, MA. TEFL.

  1. e)It is not correct to play with the feelings of another person to obtain benefits, that is not ethical or moral, because if you want to achieve something yourself, you should strive to obtain it and not use others.

    1. I think it is because parents like to know who their sons are with, for security, because they can be with a complete stranger who can harm them in any way

      Eliminar
  5. b)No, because he is a person she just met and does not know anything about him, he is a complete stranger who in this case turns out to be a person who wants to harm her.
