The students are going to be thought the meaning of the vocabularies: advertising agency, botanical garden, to fall in love (with someone), and to be in touch (with someone). Then they will be asked to use the words in some examples.

While-Reading #1 (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

In this stage, students are going to read the article to see were their answers in a right?

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Students are going to read the article again to answer these questions: What was Jane's situation at the beginning of the story? Where did she meet the Frenchman and how did this change her life? What did they often do on Sunday? Why did they stop in the gardens and what did they see? How did Jane get a copy of the photo? why is this photo important to her?

Post-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

The students will be asked to discuss fallowing questions in groups of three: Is there a photo with you in it that you really love? Describe it. Why do you like it so much?
