Marriage

Marriage, according to the English dictionary, means a union of a husband and a wife, but in modern Chinese society, it is more than that—it is a union of the two families. As we know, the two families don’t know each other at first, and now they become a close relative owing to the relationship of marriages. Under such circumstances, they share the happiness and trouble together. While a member of one family gets into trouble, the members of the other family will, without hesitation, help him/her to tackle the difficult problems. Therefore, the marriage, I think, is like a rope which ties the two families together. And that’s to say, before one wants to get married, he/she has got to check the family background of the other to avoid troublesome problems one stirs up. Judging from what mentioned above, marriage is not only a union of a husband and a wife, but also a union of the two families.

(Compare/Contrast attending school at day-time and night-school)

I prefer studying at night-school to studying at day-time school for some reasons. First of all, the tuition fee of the night-school is cheaper than the day-time school each semester. The former costs us only twenty-five thousand dollars each semester, while the latter costs them at least forty-five thousand dollars. The next reason is something about the age of the students. Without doubt, we are older than they. So far as we know, most of us have jobs during the day; while they don’t. And unlike the students of day-time school, we cherish the very opportunity of pursuing knowledge, whereas they are fond of playing. The last reason I want to emphasize is learning attitude. In my opinion, we are more attentive to our studies than the students in the day-time school. If we have any problem on the courses we don’t understand, we have no hesitation in consulting with the teachers, whereas most of them seldom do so. Luckily and proudly, I would like to say I am one of the students of night school.
