Do you like love stories
with a happy
or sad ending? Why?

Imagine that you have just met the most fabulous and wonderful person and, incredibly,  fallen in love. You are absolutely sure that they are the person you want to spend the rest of  your life with. The only problem is that their family is at war with your family and your parents  would never allow you to see each other.  What would you do and why? 

* stop seeing this person so you don’t upset your family

* tell your family about the situation and hope they understand

* see the person in secret

* marry the person in secret

* move away to another place with the person

  Is there anything else you could do?  

Do you believe in true love?
Why?
