I am at the age when each of my friends started to tie the knot with their beloved ones, which reminds me how grown up we all are but at the same time is a true blessing. Weddings have always made me dreamy because you can feel that love is in the air. One of the most beautiful and intimate weddings I’ve ever attended was Anna’s, my classmate in high school. The Anna I knew from high school was a true embodiment of traditional women: feminine, delicate, caring and wholeheartedly devoted and I had no doubt her wedding would be the same the minute I received the invitation. It came as no surprise that the reception hall was completed covered with the pastel pink color, from many bouquets of roses, balloons, table cloths and other decorations. It should have looked like a 6- year-old birthday party, on the contrary, that light and feminine color surprisingly created a delightful and congenial atmosphere for the wedding. There were not too many people at the wedding because the groom and bride wanted to keep it simple, yet intimate and meaningful, which I couldn’t agree more. The ceremony was so emotional when the couple took an oath and exchanged wedding rings that I could have sworn I saw tears shined in their eyes. The whole ballroom erupted in endless applause and whistles when the groom landed a passionate kiss on his woman’s lips as the pastor announced them as husband and wife – one of the most magnificent moments I’ve ever witnessed and Anna could easily be the most beautiful and happiest bride I’ve ever seen in a glamorous baby pink gown and bohemian hairstyle. I also met a couple of friends in high school which made me feel like we were having a reunion and it was great to know after all those years, we could still talk and share this special moment together. Tie the knot (idiom) get married Blessing (noun) something good that you feel very grateful or lucky to have In the air (idiom) noticeable all around; becoming prevalent Bouquet (noun) a collection of flowers, cut and tied together in an attractive way Congenial (adj) pleasant, friendly, and enjoyable Erupt (verb) suddenly explode with a lot of noise as people start laughing/shouting QUESTION FOR PART 3 46.1. Do you often attend weddings? Not really at the moment since I’ve recently graduated and most of my friends are at the same age at me. However, some has already married and I was also invited once or twice. As a romantic person, weddings always make me nervous and exciting at the same time since you can feel love is in the air. 46.2. How do you think of the perfect age for marriage? I have had countless debates with my friends and we have different ideas regarding when is the ideal age to get settled. I, together with some girls, agree that it should be above 30 for both men and women while others flatly contradict us by saying people should get married as soon as possible even though they have nothing. Some may find it too late to tie a knot at the age of 30 but I cannot see the point of living together with more bills to pay and more mouths to feed without having a career and stable income, which is one of the most common reason for separation among married couples. Settled (adj) if you have a settled way of life, you stay permanently in one place or job or with one person 46.3. Do women prefer to be single or to be married? Women nowadays have a more advanced mindset than they used to a few decades ago, which is why not so many left still bother about being single anymore. Instead, they enjoy their single lives and pamper themselves with great food and fine clothes. Modern women don’t need a man to be her anchor anymore since they are independent and confident enough to take on the world herself. They go out and make money instead of staying at home knowing nothing but taking care of their kids and depending on their husband. Pamper (verb) to look after someone very well, especially by making them feel very comfortable or by giving them nice things 46.8. Why has the divorce rate increased over time in modern life? It’s noteworthy that that divorce rate in modern life is far higher than they used to, which is not a positive trend to look forward for. Reasons for such separations vary depending on irreconcilable families’ issues which could be financial problem, disagreement on how to raise their children or worse, infidelity. Irreconcilable (adj) can’t find a way to become friendly again after disagreement. 47. Describe a shop just opened in your hometown You should say where the shop is what items it sells how often you go there why you go there Well, I’m not a shopaholic, so there´s no particular shop that has made a special impression on me. There’s only one exception – that’s a shop called ABC which was opened in my hometown 2 months ago. The shop is located at one of the prime spots for retailing. It is located right beside my previous primary school, which is only 1km away from my house. I have to say that this shop makes its mission to satisfy all customers’ needs anytime, anywhere. As well as meeting the customers’ demand for necessary daily goods like other shops, it also supplies fresh vegetables, fruit and meat of a high quality at reasonable prices. These products have clearly-marked sources of origin and are strictly controlled under the general process of the entire system. This shop is in a chain of retail shops under XYZ, which is recognized as one of the most dynamic and successful companies in my country, well-positioned for international integration and comparable to the best regional and global competitors. Therefore, I suppose there’s no doubt about its quality. Actually, quality assurance is the most important benefit of shopping here. And the quality of service is excellent as well. To the best of my recollection, 2 weeks ago, when I came to buy some snacks, I met a middle-aged woman with her son there. She said to the staff that she only went window shopping to pamper her son, who always liked visiting supermarkets and shops to see things. The staff were very welcoming and gave her son a candy as a gift. I could see that her son was over the moon. That left me with a lasting and positive impression about ABC. Download 1.86 Mb.
