Marriage

I don't think marriage is a necessity in my life, but my mom doesn't <s>think so</s> agree. Actually, she is just like all the other traditional Chinese women who think marriage can make people happier especially<s> when growing</s> as they grow old. I understand <s>that </s>she is worried that no one <s>can</s> will accompany me when she and my dad pass away, but I think she is too worried. One important reason for her concern is that in Chinese society, a single woman who is older than 30 <s>years old will become</s> is less and less likely to get married. This phenomenon can be attributed to a lot of complicated reasons. To make<s>, to cut</s> a long story short, it's a cultural thing.

I am not anti-marriage, and I do hope I can find the right person. However, it's so hard for me to find <s>this </s>that person. Nevertheless, I would rather be single forever than make do with a boring marriage. Well, we will see!

68 - Types of pasta and transmission of <s>the </s>recipes in Italy

In the Italian tradition, there is a multitude of different types of pasta. Some are short and some are long. Some are linear and some are twisted. Some are typical of a region or a city, while others are common throughout the country. There are no rules when it comes to types of pasta.

It is really difficult for me to choose the best one. It depends on how it is cooked and on the recipe <s>condiment,</s> <s>There is N</s>ot one <s>which </s>is perfect in all circumstances -- of this I am sure. <s>This is the a thing which I am sure of.</s>

Recent studies have shown that more than 300 different types of pasta are known in Italy. This is a perfect example to underline the richness of the Italian culinary tradition, which seems to be limitless. In fact, new recipes are discovered in ancient books or <s>bring </s>brought to the fore by <s>the </s>famous Italian chefs every year. However, the main actors <s>of </s> in this opera are the many grandmothers and grandfathers who carry on the tradition. They not only <s>Not only they</s> teach what they know to their sons and daughters <s>, </s>(including all the secret family recipes <s>(</s>which <s>are </s> is<s> </s>a very common custom in Italian families)<s>, to their sons and daughters</s>, but they even teach <s>to </s>their nephews. They are the culinary knowledge base, speaking in computer terms, and without their effort the tradition slowly would be <s>slowly </s>lost. Therefore, they are the pillars of one of the most important <s>tracts</s> elements of the country's culture and no thanks would ever be enough.
