Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG¹
A: It seems strange to me that Westerners fall head heels in love quickly, but they also leave each other quickly.
B: Is it the same where you live?
A: I don’t think so. In my country, most couples stay together.
B: What is the divorce² rate in your homeland?
A: The divorce rate can be as low as 10 percent.
B: That’s quite lower than in our country.
A: Well, what’s the divorce rate in your country?
B: About 50 percent, if I’m not mistaken.
A: Oh, that’s really high!
B: Do people get married young?
A: Not really. Not many people get married before the age of 22.
B: Many of our young people get married before 20. Is it common for women in your country to work after they marry?
A: Yes, most wives work even after they’ve got a baby.
B: In my country, a lot of wives stay home to look after their families.
