2NI Articles
The definite article the is the most frequent word in English.
We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to.
We use the indefinite article, a/an, with count nouns when the hearer/reader does not knowexactly which one we are referring to:
Police are searching for a 14 year-old girl.
2NA Writing an article
TINDER, EDARLING, MEETIC. HOW COULD PEOPLE IMAGINE 30
YEARS AGO THAT THESE PLATFORMS WOULD BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS FOR DATIING?
Basically,
dating changes along the time have been related to technology development, but
to social evolution as well. Thirty years ago, ordinary people did not have access
to dating webpages or to Apps, basically because they didn’t exit yet.
By the end of
the 80s, in Spain, moral and lifestyle thoughts were still changing, from a
strict catholic morality to a more open-minded and laissez- faire way of life.
This land of changes didn’t happen in general, and some people who said to themselves:
“Who am I? The one that I want to be or the one the others are expecting me to
be?”, had to pay the consequences.
Catholic beliefs,
such as family sacredness, would lead a woman or a man to find themselves in a
marriage, in a home, having children, putting family before themselves, and now
many of them are thinking: “how did I get there?”
All that has
been altered enormously nowadays. If
Jean meets John maybe it’s just for fun, or meeting a new friend, not thinking
about marrying or starting a family.
How and where
we can find our partner has also changed. Three decades ago it was usual that
only young people (20-35) were allowed to date someone to try to find a husband
or a wife, and the usual places were your workplace, among your friends or at a
party.
These days,
teenagers, divorcees, widows, and pensioners are welcomed to find their
soulmates, while the concepts of ‘seize the moment’, ’doesn’t matter if this
will last forever, just have fun today’ and ‘don’t mind about tomorrow’, rule
social beliefs. And, even old-school ways of meeting new people are still
working, new ones have revolutionized
the system of dating.
The Internet
and TV have become the new matchmakers. Dozens of webpages boast themselves as
able to find your perfect match, even if they live far away from you. TV
programmes that broadcast intimate dates and spread secret information about you…That’s the price
of love! and Apps that have become a
huge catalogue of women and men , as if it was a supermarket where you should
sell yourself as the best product someone could buy.
Definitely,
people keep playing the game of love. Some is a serious way, some just for fun.
And that’s the point; maybe you should first think about why you are looking
for a date. Because of your loneliness? Your boredom? Or just because you actually want to share
your life with someone special? Think about it next time you go on a date.
