Step 1 Lead-in

T shows a picture, and tells a story of "shmily". A old couple keep playing the "shmily" hide and seek game. They write "shmily" on a piece of paper, and hide it in their house. Sometimes, they hide it under a cup, sometimes they hide it under a book. And the meaning of "shmily" is 'see how much I love you'.

T: Do you say "I love you" to your parents? And how do you say it?

S: ...

T: Do your parents say "I love you" to you? If they are too shy to say "I love you" to you, you can ask them, "You love me, don't you?" and remember, in a rising intonation. When we expect the other person to agree with us, the question tad has a falling intonation.
