新視野大學英語視聽說教程第三冊 Unit 3 SAMPLE DIALOG

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 divorce 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.
