最近,有同学问了这样一道题“Describe a piece of good news that you heard about someone you know well”。这个话题让我想起了几天前我的好朋友分享给我的一个。那天她突然打电话约我见面聊天,由于我工作十分忙碌,因此我想要推迟一天赴约,但她的态度却十分坚定,我就不得不接受了邀请。在看到她十分兴奋的脸庞时,我迫不及待地想知道发生了什么。到底是什么,咱们一起来聊一聊吧~
她从包里拿出一些看起来像贺卡的东西,一句话也没说就把它递给了我。我拿起来打开一看,原来是一张婚礼请柬。我的朋友开心地向我宣布,她两个月后就要结婚了!

Well, just a couple of days ago my friend called me and told me she wanted to meet and chat urgently. I was busy with work, so I asked her if we could postpone this get-together to another day. She said she had to tell me something very important. I asked her to tell me about it on the phone if it was so important but she insisted on meeting me face to face. I felt compelled to accept. In the evening we met at a café. My friend looked as if she had won the lottery! I couldn’t wait to find out what had happened.
First, she took out something from her bag that looked like a greeting card and pushed it towards me without saying a single word. I took the card and it appeared to be a wedding invitation. Then she announced that she is going to get married in 2 months.
My jaw dropped. I was very excited but surprised when my friend told me the story of how she met a guy and got engaged all within just a few days. I listened to her attentively as I knew that she had been dreaming of this moment for a long time. Then she showed me a photo of her fiancé. He looked quite handsome and smart. I hugged her and congratulated her. She went on to tell me about his personality and his family. She said that he’s well educated and works for a multinational company. I’m so happy for her and I’m sure she will have a wonderful married life.
