It was April 20th, 2009; Jane Jackson was going to get married in a couple of days. She was so excited that she couldn\\u2019t sleep. Jane lived in China currently and loved this country. So she decided to hold her wedding in a local church. Jane had a best friend who was a Chinese lady. Jane was thinking perhaps she could also invite the girl\\u2019s parents since whenever she visited the girl, her parents would always cook great food for her and treated her as if she were their own. Jane rang the girl and asked if her parents could tag along on the wedding day.

\\n\\n"Certainly, they would be really much willing to do that.\\u201d Replied the girl at this proposal. \\u201cBut it would be better if I can write an invitation to them. That may sound more formal.\\u201d Said Jane, \\u201cThe problem is \\u2026.I don\\u2019t think your parents read English?\\u201d The Chinese girl smiled and nodded, \\u201cNo, They can\\u2019t understand a single word\\u2026so sending them an invitation won\\u2019t make any sense\\u201d .Jane was silent, kept her head lower, eyes staring down on the feet. Then she looked up, with delight swimming in her eyes. \\u201cI can try writing the invitation in Chinese instead, and then they will possibly understand.\\u201d Her friend beamed, and replied, \\u201cThat\\u2019s really a fantastic idea. Do you need any help from me?\\u201d Jane rejected the offer. She claimed that a dictionary will work.\\u201d\\n
