Hello everyone,
Well, I thought we were finished our discussion of love and marriage, but I discovered this story and I couldn't resist planning one more lesson before we start to review and prepare for the final test. Today we are going to talk about love and marriage in China again.

Before we start, let's study some vocabulary. Please click the link: Cross Cultural Awareness and English.

Yesterday was a lucky day in China. Let's find out why by reading an article called Thousands marry on "Love You Forever Day" on breakingnewsenglish.com

Will you choose a "lucky day" for your wedding day? Please leave a comment below.
