Teaching Topic: Popping the Question and Getting Engaged 訂婚中西大不同
Today let’s talk about a proposal or more precisely a marriage proposal. So ladies, we apologize that this is a topic that’s more for the guys.

Okay, guys, if you like a girl enough that you want to spend the rest of your life with her, you need to consider popping the question.

That’s right, popping the question simply means asking your girl friend to marry you. But when you say those four words, “Will you marry me?” be sure you produce a ring as well.

And also be sure you do so, on bended knee. If your girlfriend says yes, and we hope she does, then you two would be considered engaged and your girlfriend would become your fiancé.

Now, we know getting engaged in Asia is much more complicated affair that involves family rituals. But in the west, as soon as the woman says yes, and puts on that ring, the couple is considered engaged.

Now, a word about fiancé, fiancé spelled with one e at the end, refers to the man you plan to marry. Fiancée with two es at the end, refers to the woman you plan to marry.
