The first day
1. 讨价还价：
Could you come down a little? / Could you reduce the price a little?
Any chance of a lower price from you? / Can it be cheaper?
That’s too much, can you sell it for 100 dollars?
2. 付钱：
How can I pay, by cash or credit card? / May I write a check for you?
Without expensive preparation and rituals, Wang Shaowei and Zhang Xin tied the knot at a cost of nine yuan, which was used to obtain the marriage certificate.

The vote also showed that about 55 percent of the respondents viewed courage as essential when engaging in a "naked marriage" and 43 percent of them agreed that married life of the couple who had a "naked marriage" would be much tougher than their peers with better financial status.
该投票结果也表明，有约55%的受访者将勇气看作是维系“裸婚”的重要因素。

同时，43%的受访者也承认，相比那些经济条件优越，同年龄段的恋人们，选择“裸婚”则意味着承担更多的困难。

Although the traditional marital values are still deep-rooted in Chinese people`s mind, experts said the increasing acceptance of "naked marriage" showed a more open-minded attitude of the youth.
虽然传统婚姻价值观仍在中国人心中根深蒂固，专家指出，越来越多的人开始接受“裸婚”，这表明青年一代对于婚姻持更加开放的态度。

recent years, many provinces have successively eliminated extra marks for academic Olympic contests when it concerns college entrance examination(高考). Do you think extra marks for academic Olympic contests policy is necessary? Do you think it’s a fair policy?

2 Be yourself, don't change for anyone. If they don't like you at your worst, then they don't deserve you at your best. 勇敢的做自己，不要为任何人而改变。

如果他们不能接受最差的你，也不配拥有最好的你。

2 I know when to stop. I know when to let things go. I know when to move on. But “I know” is different from “I can”. 我知道何时止步，何时放手，何时前行。

但是，我“知道”不代表我“能够”。
