I. Useful Information
Whether it is a mother’s nurturing love for herchild, a son’s loyal love for his father, the love between husbandand wife, or the love between friends, love is a universal emotionthat expresses itself in every culture. To love is to be human. Toneed love is also to be human. Children, for example, need lovingcare in order to be emotionally healthy.
Love is a deep feeling of fondness, affection andfriendship that grows between people. Romantic love usually beginsas passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense ofattachment. Many of the famous romantic love stories in variouscultures end in tragedies of death or betrayal. The loss of love isa favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories,operas, songs, and ballads.
The verb “like” is not as strong as the verb “love”and generally does not imply deep emotions. “Like” means to findpleasure or satisfaction in something or someone: I like eating atthe restaurant; my son likes his teacher. In English, the word“love” is often used informally instead of “like” in an intensifiedsense: He loves music; Children love ice-cream; she loves her newjob. However, “love” and “like” are totally interchangeable. It isoften the context that indicates the strength of the word “love”.The verb “love” should not be used in the first person, whenspeaking to another person, except in romantic situations (I loveyou). When in doubt as to which verb to use, it is better to use“like” with an adverb: I like your dress a lot; I really like myprofessor; His boss liked his proposal immensely.
II. Preparation

2. Talking about someone you love
Sample
I love my mother most, because she is always verykind to me, unlike my father who will scold me or slap me if I makemistakes or if I am naughty. My mother is an ordinary-lookingwoman, but in my eyes she is very beautiful. She is veryhard-working and does almost all the housework. When I was workingfor the entrance examinations, she was very considerate and neverlet me do any housework. When I was hungry at night, she would fixa snack for me. She is a good cook. It’s a pity that I am not ableto have what she cooks because I am far away from home.

I agree with the students, because I have pets. Ifeel happy when I’m with pets. I myself have a pet cat. I like himvery much, and I enjoy taking care of him. When I am unhappy or inlow spirits, I stroke him, cuddle (hold sth lovingly and closely inthe arms) him and then I feel much better. He is like one of myfriends. In a sense he is better than a friend because he neverargues with me and usually obeys me.

I don’t agree with this statement. I am afraid ofanimals, especially dogs. I don’t know why, but I have been afraidof dogs since my childhood. At the sight of dogs, I shiver, I don’tunderstand how I can lower my blood pressure by stroking or pattingthem. On the contrary, my blood pressure would rise because I am sonervous around a dog and sometimes I can’t help screaming.

My father , forty-six years old, is a peasant. Heis very hard-working, because he has a big family to support.Perhaps it is because he is tired, he is a man of few words, andalmost no smile appears on his face. Father has never bought anytoys or candies for my younger brother and me, but I know he lovesus. He is strict with us. He once said, “You should study hard sothat you can serve the people better in the future.” My family waspoor but father promised that he would pay for education of mybrother and me even if he had to sell our house.

When I was a child, mymother took me to the kindergarten even when the weather was bad.When I was naughty and made mistakes, my mother never blamed me.Instead she often told me some enjoyable stories and from these Iwas able to know what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. When Iwent to school, my mother cared about not only my daily needs butalso my studies. When I did poorly in school, she often encouragedme to try my best again. She said she had confidence in me and toldme never to lose heart. I’ll remember her kindness and adviceforever.
