F2F Class Notes 19th September (Celeste)

I took part in a wedding = I was in the wedding party
I went to a wedding = I attended the wedding

Original

Two days ago I took part in my aunty’s wedding. She is 24 years old and she is younger than me, but we are not one generation. During that time, she told me that my uncle in law studied in England for 4 years and they had bought a house before they got marry. For now, it seem to be a phenomenon. People buy houses for marry and it is one of reasons why the house is so expensive that a lot young men are not able to afford it. Sometimes, some families will take a loan for buying a house, even if their life quality will be gone down. It sounds sad, but we don’t have any choices.

Two days ago I went to my aunty’s wedding. She is 24 years old and she is younger than me, but we are not the same generation. During the wedding, she told me that my uncle in law studied in England for 4 years and they had bought a house before they got married. For now, it seems to be a phenomenon. Engaged couples buy houses to start their new lives together and it is one of the reasons why houses are so expensive and a lot of young men are not able to afford it. Sometimes, some families will take out a loan for buying a house, even if their quality of life will decline / go down. It sounds sad, but we don’t have many choices.

Some Chinese women live with their parents until they get married.
