1. Warm up
A. Мы можем начать урок английского с просмотра эпизода сериала «Теория большого взрыва», где друзья Шелдона зарегистрировали его на сайте знакомств, заполнили анкету от его имени и, к их огромному удивлению, алгоритм нашел пару.
Have you ever seen the serial The Big Bang Theory? Do you remember the most annoying person, a nerd from it? Who is that? It is Sheldon. Luckily, he had a match on a dating cite due to his friends who filled in the form just for fun. Let’s recollect that moment.
- What was the probability of finding a girlfriend in his life?
- Was it a perfect match? Did they have common interests?
- Do you think people can rely on a search algorithm to find Mr. Right/Ms. Right?
B. If your student is not acquainted with the serial just have a small talk or if you have enough time, combine both parts:
- Do people still need each other in the world of technology? Why (not)?
- Do people feel lonely today?
- If you have 100 friends on VK, can you really rely on all of them?
- Where do people mostly meet a date nowadays?

6. Reveal the truth
Прочитайте посты и пофилософствуйте со студентами, настоящие ли это отношения, как понять намерения людей и нет ли обмана?
Read some comments and say if these people are in a relationship?
We met online in 2019. I felt lonely being at home during lockdown. I decided to have some fun on social networks and registered on Tinder. So, we have been dating since 2019. We have regular video calls and chat about everything. We have never seen each other offline because we are quite busy. I do not date anyone because I am sure we are a couple and he is my Mr. Right.
Is it suspicious that they have never met?
Does he deceive her?
How to determine if these are real relationships?
We met on Tinder. I liked her photo. She looked natural. When I offered to go out she refused and sent me her real photo explaining that we live in a small town and she did not want somebody will reveal her secrets. Her original photo differed a lot and she was not my type at all. Do you think it is ok to start relationships with a lie?
Is it easy to determine if a photo is real or not?
If a person deceived you and you detected the truth, would you continue to get to know each other?
7. Conclusions

- Do you know anyone who’s built good relationships with their online partner?
