Q: What do you think of Lily’s boyfriend?

Better than her husband. She told me they just meet two weeks.  Because I meet Lily maybe one year, I never seen she looks happy like today.

So Lily said I’m a crazy girl. If I have feeling, I have no standards. When I met my husband, I don’t know his age, his name, his hometown, his job, his income… his everything. And then I live in SH, and in that time, we married in 5 years. So 9 years ago, I lived in SH and Alex lived in KS, and I take train to KS everyday, and he lived in a very small house. When we married, we haven’t our own house. Maybe in SH girl, it’s impossible. Too many friends ask me why I choose him because I never receive any gift. Then I remember four years ago, I bought a gift for him. I know he has too many problems so some girls can’t accept, but I don’t know what it is.

If you are kids want to attend some test, you shouldn’t need foreigner teacher. I think you are fortunate because I know some friends and they want to choose foreigner teacher and they ask that the teacher can speak Chinese and they are not Chinese face.

Revised：

Better than her husband. She told me that they just meet two weeks ago.  I met Lily maybe one year ago, but I have never seen her look happy like she does today.

Feeling. So Lily said I’m a crazy girl. If I have the right feeling, I have no standards. When I met my husband, I didn’t know his age, his name, his hometown, his job, his income… his everything. Back then, I lived in SH and Alex lived in KS, and I took the train to KS everyday, and he lived in a very small house. When we got married, we didn’t have our own house. Maybe to SH girls, it’s impossible. Too many friends ask me why I chose him because I never received any gifts. Then I remembered four years ago, I bought a gift for him to remind him that he should give me a gift as well. I know he has too many problems that some girls can’t accept, but I don’t know what it is that made me be with him.

If your kids want to take a test, you shouldn’t need a foreigner teacher. I think you are fortunate because I know some friends who want to choose foreigner teachers and they ask／demand that the teacher can speak Chinese and that they don’t have a Chinese face.
