Worksheet 1A
Answer Revised from Before- Reading.
1.

Most people like a fun and a silly partner. For some, these shows
that both of them are open and do not judge each other’s action. They can
be wrong without being scared of their partner’s rants. In contrast to a
partner who sees your mistakes and highlights it every time you argue. The
experience would be “toxic” in some terms. The feeling of comfort when
they don’t mind being judge in a space is the most satisfying area. So, that’s
why some people likes a date that is fun and silly rather than accurate but
serious.
