1.What kinds of wedding presents do people usually give in your country?
In my country, we don't give presents to the newly wedded couple
．
We always give them money.
You might have heard of the red envelopes we offer them. We place money inside, and it
symbolizes our wishes for prosperity and luck for both of them.
2. Compare the advantages of having a big wedding and a small wedding?
Okay. Well, big weddings are more impressive, I suppose
．
When you get a few hundred people in
the same room, it creates more noise, and the wedding will be livelier. And inviting a lot of people
also means that the bride and groom will receive a lot of money, since everyone gives a red
envelope full of cash. On the other hand, organizing a smaller wedding will cost less, and the
atmosphere will be more personal. At big weddings, the couple doesn't actually know everyone in
the room. In my country, the bride and groom's parents invite their friends
．
So these people barely
know the young couple. I think it's a bit strange. If they only celebrate with their close relatives
and their very close friends, people will bond and talk more. The bride and groom will also get a
chance to spend more time with all of the guests
．
I think having a small wedding is definitely more
meaningful.
3. Why do people enjoy celebrating events such as wedding?
Well, these events are definitely happy celebrations. Weddings celebrate family. When people get
married, it means they create a new family, and it actually brings 2 families closer together. I think
weddings are very significant, and they bring joy to all the people involved ,not just the couple.
4. Do you think that men and women have different attitudes to getting married?
I'm not sure how to answer this question. I guess most women dream of getting married to Prince
Charming, and having the happiest family ever. Women are usually anxious to get (= looking
forward to getting) married. And some men are too
．
You know, in China many men are traditional
and they want to get married early and lead a stable life. However, nowadays, many young men
want more freedom, and they wish to enjoy life, and go out with friends, and maybe meet more
than one girl before they take the plunge
（＝
say "yes" forever). I think a lot of young people,
both men and women, don't mind getting married at a later age these days.
