一封来自斯洛伐克的婚礼邀请函 A Wedding Invitation from Slovakia
“我要结婚了，我邀请你们来参加我的婚礼。”仁互惠生收到了一封来自斯洛伐克的婚礼邀请函，原来是一个互惠生快要结婚了。维多利亚，一个来自斯洛伐克的可爱女孩。2016年， 她选择离开斯洛伐克，来到中国，度过一段至今难忘的互惠生时光。至今，2年时间已经过去，仁互惠生依然还清晰地记得这个姑娘， 打开她当年的互惠生申请表，上面显示维多利亚在2016年前就曾多次来到中国， 并在“ 你为什么选择中国作为你的目的地？”这个问题下，写到“我喜欢关于中国的一切。” 因此，虽然已是两年之后，但在收到邀请函时，大家都还清晰地记得这个可爱的姑娘。经过一番讨论之后，Emma，当时作为维多利亚和家庭之间的协调员，决定去斯洛伐克参加她的婚礼，申请签证，准备机票。此外，为了这个特殊的场合，艾玛还专门准备了一身传统中国风的旗袍。一切准备就绪！ 在婚礼现场，艾玛见到了她的互惠生朋友维多利亚。想当初2016年，维多利亚来中国时，中文是中级水平。到今年为止，维多利亚的中文有了很大进步，她现在在当地做一名汉语教师。回想起当年在中国作互惠生的经历，还是难以忘怀。 祝福幸福的新娘，维多利亚。很高兴我们还和互惠生保持着这样的友谊。也希望我们能够接纳更多的对中国文化感兴趣的互惠生。 “I am getting married, I invite you to attend my wedding.”, Aupair Ren in Shanghai received an wedding invitation from Slovakia, which turned out to be an Au Pair to get married.
