Quotes - discussion

The relationship between literature and learning English can fulfill the learners communicative needs. Literature can be very motivating in language learning, especially when it comes to speaking.
The authors of Global (an English course for adult learners from Macmillan Education) published Classic Literature Cards with quotes from a classic English work of literature, and also with a set of discussion questions.

You can also prepare your own set of cards for the students of different age and level.

Here is one example:

• “Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.” (Louisa May Alcott, Little Women)

Discussion questions:

1.  What do you think the author means when she says 'when we go'?
2. Do you agree with this quote?
3. What else could make 'end so easy'?
4. How do people priorities change as they grow older? Can you think of examples?
5. Are there any famous sayings about love in your language? What are they in English?
