ⅲ Discussion: Ideal Wife and Ideal Husband
Directions: Work in pairs and discuss the following questions.
From your point of view, what are the characteristics of an ideal wife and an ideal husband?
Sample One
For an ideal wife, first, I think she should have a kind heart. She should not only love me but also treat our parents well. Then she must be tender and capable of understanding her husband. Certainly if she is beautiful and can cook delicious food, that will be perfect.
Sample Two
I think every girl expects her ideal husband to be tall, handsome and strong, but physical appearance is not the most important thing. To be an ideal husband he should be kind and loyal to his wife and have strong sense of responsibility for the family. In addition, qualities such as being well educated, having a good career, being
humorous, etc. are also necessary.
