Ask the students: Can you think of anyone you've met that you instantly liked or disliked? Do you generally trust your instincts?

We will be going over these words/phrases: salary, wedding anniversary, job interview

The students will listen to the audio to get a general idea of the story. They will then be presented with this activity: Listen to Tracy, Hal and Ann. Which of these things do they not talk about? a job interview a divorce a wedding anniversary first impressions salaries

Students will listen to the story again, this time to get more detailed information. These questions will be presented to them: Which job was advertised? What did Hal think of the first person he saw? Why? Why does Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink, come up in the conversation? Does Gladwell believe we follow our instincts too often? Do you think Ann believes in love at first sight? Why? /Why not?

Students will discuss the audio subject further. They will discuss: Have you ever changed your initial opinion of someone? If so, why? Review questions. Answer students' questions
