Mention at least three things. Yes, I do. First, there is the ritua

18、l of bowing at traditional Chinese weddings. The bride and the groom bow to show their respect first to Heaven and Earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other. Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet. A huge amount of

19、food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red color is used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. Red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity.,25,Listening to the world,Viewing,1 Preparations

20、 for traditional Cretan weddings often last for several weeks. 2 The whole of Marias village has turned out to see her get married. 3 The bride arrives with both her father and her mother. 4 The meat of 150 sheep was served at the wedding feast. 5 Maria and Jorgos first dance as man and wife include

25、n gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink.,Not really. I dont particularly like big noisy weddings.

26、world,Viewing,2 What kind of wedding would you like to have when you get married? Give your reasons.,I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has some traditional elements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, and the ritual of bowing, but also contains Wes

27、tern elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake.,I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honeymoon instead. Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others. Another important rea
