Student's Name: Yadira Quinteros Porras     Teacher's name: Antonio Rios            Date: December 8TH, 2011

1.    Write the title of the article: 10 Tips for Finding True Love and Happiness

2.    Write the author's name: By the Garter Brides from ThirdAge.com (Ann Blumenthal Jacobs, Tish Rabe and Patricia Ryan Lampl)

3.   Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

The article will be about how you find the love and conserve it for long time, and what to do to be happy the rest of our lifes. Also I think this article show us many suggestions to be a happy and successful person, but, not only in love, but also in the job, in your family, and in all the relationships.

4.    Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.

My predicction was correct in one way, because the article describe 10 tips for finding true love and it says that people must to look for the happiness because it won't come alone. One example is You won't meet someone new in your living room, it means that each person shoudl be worry about themselves, nobody find love for others, and this is why the article suggest to have blind dates because is a good way to meet new people and maybe this person will be your husband o your wife. Also the writers suggest that if you have a couple, try to know a lot of about him or her, because in the future you could have problems, and finally the article says that never its too late to find true love , if you want, it's possible.
