Have you come across people who are not what they seem to be - like someone who is extremely friendly and helpful yet you are not very comfortable with him /her as you feel it is a put-on? Have a class discussion about such people and why you feel as you do.
What does ‘an albatross around the neck’ mean? Does it mean:
(a) something that you can always be very proud of?
(b) something that you have to do, because you have no choice?
(c) something that is with you all the time, as a reminder that you have done something wrong?
