Hi everyone. Thanks to all who have jumped right in and posted. Shunta, you have a great vocabulary! Don't avoid speaking/keep practicing and we'll try to get your pronunciation and intonation to a better place. This is class is our guilt-free mistake and practice zone! Others, good beginnings and intros (but don't forget to use spellcheck before posting).
Let's think/talk about what we ourselves value in our relationships. What are the qualities that you look for in a good friend? For me, my best friends are outgoing and have a good sense of humor, like Japan (of course!), and are interested in the arts and culture. Most of my good friends are readers and movie-goers. They all have strong opinions and enjoy discussing them.
What about a boyfriend/girlfriend? Is it important that he/she be intelligent? Sexy? Funny? Comfortable to be around? What do you look for in this kind of relationship?
In the future, how do you think this will be different (or maybe not?) when you are thinking of someone as a possible life partner?
Let's discuss these things and more. Blog on!
