Christina sells women's clothes in a department store.  

She usually works 6 days a week, but this week she's going to take 3 days off.

She's taking time off so that she can vist her parents.

Her parents live in the mountains, about three hours away by train.

They are looking forward to seeing her.

They haven't seen her for almost a year.

Christina is their only child.

Christina isn't going on the trip by herself.   

Her boyfriend is going with her.

She's going to introduce her boyfriend to her parents.  

She and her boyfriend want to get married.  

If everything goes well , they plan to get married in six months.

After they get married,  Christina plans to quit her job.  

She wants to spend more time designing clothes.  

She wants to set up her own business.

This will take time.

Her boyfriend thinks it's a good idea.

He's also thinking about starting his own business.

They don't  plan to have children right away.

In fact, they may decide not to have children.  

They don't know yet.

It's going to be a big decision.

Christina's parents want her to marry and have children.

They are looking forward to having grandchildren.  

They don't want her to start her own business.  

They think it's more important to have children.  

In fact, they would like her to live closer to them.

They want to be close to their grandchildren.  

So christina doesn't plan to tell her parents everything.

For now, she just wants them to meet herboyfriend.

She wants them to be happy that she is going to get married.

She wants them to like him and see her happiness.

She wants her parents to accept her way of life. 

Life isn't the same now as it used to be.  

Times are changing.

克里斯蒂娜在一家百貨公司賣女裝。

她通常一周工作6天，但這個(gè)星期她要休息3天。

她正在休假，以便能去看望她的父母。

她的父母住在山里，坐火車大約3個(gè)小時(shí)的路程。

他們盼望見到她。

他們已經(jīng)快一年沒見過她了。

克里斯蒂娜是他們唯一的孩子。

克里斯蒂娜不是一個(gè)人去旅行。

她的男朋友和她一起去。

她要把她的男朋友介紹給她的父母。

她和她的男朋友想結(jié)婚。

如果一切順利，他們計(jì)劃在六個(gè)月內(nèi)結(jié)婚。

這需要時(shí)間。

她的男朋友認(rèn)為這是個(gè)好主意。

他們不打算馬上要孩子。

事實(shí)上，他們可能會(huì)決定不要孩子。

她希望他們喜歡他，看到她的幸福。

 她希望她的父母接受她的生活方式。
