In Korea a woman usually doesnt take the surname of her spouse after marriage. In the U.S. and many western European countries, a persons given name (John) comes first and surname (Smith) comes second. In Japan, a persons family name comes first (Watanabe) and given name comes second (Hiroshi ). In Korea, this is also true. In Spanish-speaking countries, a persons given name comes first. In some of these countries it is common to have both the fathers and mothers family names (Maria Garcia Lopez). 在一些国家，例如美国和日本，女子婚后要随夫姓。但是在韩国，女子婚后通常不随夫姓。在美国和女多西欧国家，名（例如John）排在姓（例如Smith）之前。在日本和韩国，姓（例如Watanabe）排在名（例如Hiroshi）之前。在讲西班牙语的国家，排名在姓之前，其中一些国家会同时使用父亲和母亲的姓（例如Maria Garcia Lopez）,Grammar in Context 1,Talking about family life,Irregular past tense,Last night my family was awake most of the night.

We forgot to feed him dinner, and he was really hungry. At about 5:00 I went back to bed and began to read. I thought I would fall asleep, but I didnt. The next morning, I ate some toast and I drank about three cups of coffee, but I was still tired. My wife went to work late, and I didnt go to work at all.
