MATCHMAKERS

What if you couldn't choose your boyfriend or girlfriend? Some years ago young people couldn't. Matchmakers did! They were always warm accepted in houses. Mostly women were occupied with matchmaking. Their main aim was to find a good match to brides and to bridegrooms. Their services were generously paid, especially when both parts agreed such kind of marriage. In many cases parents decided on behalf of their children to make them engage. Often engagement was organized between under-age-children. Such ceremony was formal and was considered as a kind of verbal declaration of such intentions. Everything was organized by parents with the help of matchmakers.

We're going to pretend we are matchmakers and we have to convince parents how good the boys and girls from our class are.

Don't forget to add your comments with the results of the interviews you did during last Friday lesson.

Cinema is always an inspiration. In this scene of Fiddle on the roof (1971), you can see some girls worried about who their matchmaker is finding for them.
