- There have been many changes about marriage in my country. The trend has changed to simpler wedding ceremony nowadays.

When it comes to preparing a wedding ceremony, nowadays, we only need about 10 or 20 minutes to do so.

So in my country, the wedding ceremony has changed to simpler way.

Which one do you use more often – a mobile phone or telephone? Why?
- I prefer to use a mobile phone because it has a lot of functions. For example, the mobile phone has a free messenger. And I can use that free messenger to communicate with others but I need to spend when I need to use the telephone. So the mobile phone is more convenient. A mobile phone has other functions like storing music and surfing the internet. These are some reasons why I use the mobile phone more often than the telephone.
