Wedding*^^*

As a girl, I love romantic love and expect a wedding with someone I love. Now, I will introduce the Chinese traditional wedding at first.
Chinese traditional wedding is paying much more attention on lucky and happy, the couples should wear red clothes, because red emphasizes lucky. On that day, the girl should get up so early and go somewhere to make up, then go back to her parents' home, then stay at her room until her groom goes her home and picks her up. When the groom goes the bride's home, the bride's relatives can ask him to give "red bag" which means the small red bag with some money inside. He can only being accept to pick the bride up after he gives the money. After that the bride's parents will prepare some food for the couple which has some special meaning, such as the couple of steam bread has the special shapes and tie them using red lines. (Which means the couples can tie each other the day after, they could rely on each other.)
As the western wedding pattern came to China many years ago, many couples choose to wear the dresses instead of red clothes and they will book some tables for lunch for the friends they invited. It seems like more informal, but wedding is a good chance to make some money~ Ha~
In my opinion, my wedding should be romantic, I don't like white dresses, maybe I will choose some colors just like pink or light purple~~And I love western wedding better~ I will be so proud of myself that time~ I think the feeling is just like.. I am a princess, the happiest one in the world~~Ha~~~Also, I may go back to China and having a Chinese wedding, it should be so exciting, I don't want to miss it!
By the way, Niki, you were so beautiful that day~~~~I sent one of your photo to my mom and she said you are beautiful and your husband is handsome~~~Conguratulations, again~~~

Chinese Grammar(中文语法) vs. English Grammar

I should tell Alicia that this is a perfect comparison essay topic~ : )

English, Chinese, these two languages are quite different. Chinese has special writing style, it has no related to the English letters such as, A B C and D~ On the other hand, the grammar in Chinese, has many similarities with English, such as the sentence structures, like: S+ V+O; "I love you"= "我(I)爱(love)你(you)"Subject always comes first. However in our daily life, we will change the order of the sentence's element. Sometimes we will say some sentence put our subject in the back of the sentence, it's only used for speaking, it is not allow to write something with this structure. "干什么呢你(you)"="What are you doing?"In this case"you"should before "doing", but we put it back to the last one. For the words part, in English, we have to put "ed" after a verb if it is past, but in Chinese, there are some words which can show if it is past or present, there is no difference between the words and the structure you used. When you see those words, they emphasize the time the things happen, for the main sentence, it will never change even if its past, present or future.

Explain those things are quite difficult, I found that I made myself feel confused about Chinese.. I cannot give you enough Chinese examples because the words are different, you cannot recognise what did I write, I hope you can get those the explaination I gave you. Those points I mentioned are the biggest difference between Chinese and English.

In conclusion, Chinese has less standard on sentence structures and the changes for words. However, most people say that English is much easier than Chinese. Oh, maybe because that Chinese pronounciation and the large amount of words.

At last, I want to say, I will try my best on my English grammar, I can do it! Believe me, Niki~~~~ :P

Interesting English

English is a kind of language which attracted me a lot. I learnt it buy my mom, she taught me some interesting words such as apple, banana, panda, etc. In this case, I love to learn this kind of strange language, the different pronounciation gives me a force to learn this language.
After elementry school, I found that English is not that easy, so my mom sent me to an English school which has a policy to avoid students speak Chinese if you stay here. It was an English improve class for every weekend, teachers there were come from Australia, America and Canada. We spoke English during our class, if there was someone who spoke Chinese, he/ she has to copy the words we learnt that day for 100 times. Since I have to accept this kind of situation, my speaking and listening improved a lot. These two parts became to be the most interesting parts in my mind.
When I was in middle school, the chance for me to speak was getting less and less, no one liked to accepted those parts but they all worked so hard on grammar. I felt a little bit disappointed, because all the students there were all good at tests, and I lose my confidence.
Even I still interested in the whole language, eapecially speaking, the teach style of the teachers in schools are quite boring. Those kind of pressure made me feel uncomfortable. That's why I chose an English spoken country to come. I could speak more, even know more about the western country. I was so exciting to come here, and found my confidence, again.

Chicago~!!!!

Big city, which has the bad traffic :( But it also has something attracted me, such as sears tower, shopping malls (I love shopping!!)
I remembered teachers told us that we should spoke English all day.. Actually..Ah..:P
When I spent all time with my Chinese friends, I forgot to speak English.. But, we were lost our direction that day, so Chingyu and I were so confident that we could ask people there for help easily..(I'm so proud of myself! Ha~~I have to make sure that my friends are not able to see this, otherwise.. they should be embarress me..)
Also, I bought a pair of shoes~ they are nice! Shopping always gave me a pretty good mood~(Except I have to eat less, because I have spent more money~terrible..)
What else? Since the photos we have taken were quite ugly, it seems like I have to keep them personally. Actually, I want to share those to you~(But not in this "public place:)")
I enjoyed the day I have, Chicago has the atmosphere of big city. The street was more crowd, people were not that friendly (just like Iowans~), the high buildings which can obtruct our eyesight, the expensive clothes that we can not afford.. Even it seems like a city which is not fit for people to live, but I love it~ I enjoyed everything in this city~I hope I can work in a big city in the USA someday~~~
P.S: Our journey ended with our complains since we were so tired~
