Benny, to improve my Chinese, I’ve started writing a blog in Chinese, I think that’s a very good way to improve one’s ability to express his/her feelings in Chinese. Recently I wrote a blog article in Chinese, can you please help me check if it is correct, if there are any mistakes, please do let me know:

巴基斯坦的婚礼

在我的国家的大多数婚礼上,都是很豪华,丰富的。有时候这也是一个社会地位的问题,因此很多人花很多钱在婚礼上。可是我们国家的婚礼是很传统的,不像中国的婚礼,我知道很多中国人不是基督徒,他们仍然在教堂结婚,花很多钱在西方的结婚礼服上,我真的不明白为什么?也许中国青年人盲目崇拜外国的文化,传统,习惯。可是我觉得在教堂结婚的婚礼很无聊的,已经在美国电影中看到过很多次这种形式的婚礼,这没有什么新鲜的。我不反对外国的风俗习惯,可是我觉得每一个国家都应该有它们自己的风俗习惯。有一天我真的想看看中国的传统婚礼,可是还没有机会。

如下是巴基斯坦婚礼的照片:

在巴基斯坦的婚礼新人邀请很多宾客,宾客也通常送给新人很多礼物。

我觉得中国传统的婚礼也很美好的,也很令人遐想的,那为什么中国人不喜欢他们自己传统的婚礼?怎么嵩尚外国文化?那么盲目的仰慕吗?我知道大多数中国人是在显摆。有一些中国人就说喜欢别人的东西,就去学的意思,其实他们也不知道学着有什么意义。

Thanks a lot!

Hi Lee Kong,

I didn’t find any mistakes in your blog, this looks exactly like a Chinese blog. It’s awesome.

P.S.

I did agree with you that some Chinese just overly pursuit for the Western brands. I feel very sad about it.

Lots of young couples choose to have their wedding ceremony first at the church than start a feast at the hotel. They may think it is just trendy, but I don’t like this kind of arrangement.

Benny

Thanks a lot Benny!

In my country, many people also think that doing something non-traditional may be trendy. But there are somethings that are purely traditional here, like weddings. We never have weddings in churches until or unless someone is a Christian.

Finally, here’s my Chinese blog:

there is a third “solution” of wedding: very very sad, that, I think, Church ‘d not allow. The sister of my mother, made a “only christian wedding without civil writing” just not to miss the back wage by the wife of his new husband…who was a widow with the backwage of his dead wife. Anyway: they made a only religiuos wedding just not to miss money!! and not for good religiuous sentiments! a true Christian person ’d make a double wedding: religiuos if it is faithfull, and civil to respect the low!but the punishment arrived later…when my auntie husband died…she could’t demonstrate she was his wife in front of the low and did not receive nothing in heritance…
Congratulations for your Chinese writing! maybe one day I’ll shall do the same!!!
