    It's not easy to find a bride for chinese single men in the future

    It won't be easy for single Chinese men to find a bride in the future

    According to some professors's calculations, in the past 30 years, 290 millions of male was million males were born, and while the data number of females is was only 254 million. In the other words, there were 36 million more males born is 36 million more than females.
    Chinese media give offers some reasons of for the big gap. One is that many Chinese people think males is are more important than females.  They prefer to have boys to take care of them after when they are old (In the past, sons should would live with their parents after he get they got married,but daughters would become another family‘s member and she can they could hardly help her their parents after she get they got married).  So, in the past decades, many baby girls were given up.  Although the Chinese government enacted a law to forbidden forbidding sexual selection selection (of babies) based on their sex, and the Chinese government also did a lot to enhance the equality of sexual the sexes,the bad situation is still coming it is still a bad situation.

    About On going on a journey !

    The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases. We go on a journey chiefly to be free of all impediments and of all inconveniences; to leave ourselves behind, but even much more to get rid of others. It is because I want a little breathing-space breathing room to muse on indifferent think about different matters, where contemplation "May plume her feathers and let grow her wings, that in the various bustle of resort. Were all too ruffled, and sometimes impaired," that I absent myself. Instead of a friend in a post-chaise or in a Tilbury, to exchange good things with and very talk about the same stale topics over again, for once let me have a truce with impertinence.  Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner-and then to thinking then and there I can think! It is hard if i cannot start some game on these lone heaths. I laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for joy.


    Hi Vin!  I did my best, but this is very poetic, and maybe includes words or ideas from 英國英語 that we don't have in 美國英語。

    The red text = 我不明白

    To be a Vegan

    I've been a vegan after watching an since I watched the documentary "Earthlings". I find it interesting. Most of the time I cook food by myself.  I read some books to learn how to make food more delicious and to make sure to keep fit.

    There're There are many vegetarian restaurants in big cities in southern China; it's developing becoming more popular here.

     

    *****

    #2—  what exactly do you find interesting?  If you found the documentary interesting, you would say "I found it interesting" (because you watched it in the past).  If you find being a vegan interesting, I would clarify that, to be more easily understood, like:  "I find the lifestyle interesting" or "I find being a vegan interesting"

    Keep it up!  :)
