Valentine's Night

TABLEtalk has been created primarily, but not exclusively, for students and internationals who live within the Medway area. Each evening provides a great opportunity for a whole variety of nationalities to meet together. Evenings are created to be fun and interactive, to provide a place for students to practise their English (if needed) and an opportunity to be part of a 'family' away from home.

On Feb 11th 2014 we celebrated Valentine's together. A BIG THANK YOU goes to Richard England who came along to walk us through a typical English church wedding. Not all weddings are so unpredictable - at one point the groom lost his nerve and disappeared - nor so hilarious!!  Our little role play was followed by some great discussion on a variety of traditions around the theme of dating and marriage.


As part of our evening students were asked to complete the sentence "LOVE is ..."  Here are just some of the responses:

"Love is accepting people the way they are;
trying to make them better."
"Love is something you can't explain."
"Love is the strongest driving force of life."
"Love is giving your all without reservation for a good cause."
"Love is life - where there is love there is life."
"Love is caring, sharing, forgiving, enduring, making sacrifices, beautiful, patient, kind, peaceful."
