6.By Jerilyn Watson Broadcast:February 14,2010.Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA,in VOA Special English.I'm Steve Ember.And I'm Faith Lapidus.February fourteenth is Valentine's Day.So this is a good time to play some love songs as we explore the subject of dating.
VOICE ONE:Valentine's Day is a special time for love.Millions of people will receive flowers,chocolate or some other gifts.Others might get just a phone call or an electronic message from someone they care about.Still others would be happy just to have someone special in their life on Valentine's Day.
VOICE TWO:Traditionally,there are many ways for people to meet.Some meet at work.Others meet by chance.Still others look for help from services that bring people together.Friends and family members might offer to help.They might plan a blind date.This is a meeting between two people who have never seen each other before.A lot of people try to improve their chances by looking in places where people with similar interests go,such as a place of religion,a bookstore,health club and sports team where men and women play together.
VOICE THREE:Internet dating services had been growing sharply through the end of 2009.But people do no always tell the truth about themselves online.And they do not exactly tell about their age,for example,they might offer an old picture instead.People who meet through computer services may not have to give their full name or e-mail address at first.Relationships that begin over the Internet do sometimes lead to marriage.Yet there is a risk anytime strangers meet.It could be a danger,or simply an unpleasant surprise.A young woman in Washington D.C was angry after seeing a date she met over the Internet.In his picture,he looked twenty-five or thirty years old.In reality,she said,he was old enough to be her father.

With tears in her eyes,Marissa admitted her (49)C."I only joined the track team to make you proud of me.I hated it,(50)D I didn't want to disappoint you.I thought if I were failing in my classes,Coach would kick me off the team.What a (51)C I've made of everything."
