Hello, Jerry

I heard you are interested about our country, so today I want to introduce about young people living in Korea.

First of all, now a days, most of young people don't prefer to go outside. Especially, boys almost stay at home, playing games using computers and mobile phones, and also girls usually communicate with social networks, like instargram, face book, etc.
When I was young I almost spent my time with my friends together and play at the school play grounds and park. It was really fun and had a chance to learn about friendship and responsibilities , so I hope young people should meet their friends outside rather than staying alone playing games.

Second, most of young people spend their times to study. In Korea, most of the people thinks that entering good university is the first step to live an 'successful life'. Students stay at school until 10pm to do self study or go to academy to prepare exams. Only not high school students but also elementary school students.

Hi Jerry!!!!

I want to tell you about the young people in my country! The mind of Turkish young people usually works very differently. Turkish young people always think of the shortest way, the shortest finisher and we try to find the easiest way. Actually I dont`t know how to explain.

I think the biggest role all over the world is young people. Because they have fresh mind, power, quick thinking and more!
Young people should always be conscious, specially in my country. I think young people should be free but logically.

Turkish young people sometimes play computer games but summer time is different. Because beautiful weather calls people out! We always play basketball, volleyball in the evenings and we usually drink somethings in the night !!!

Dear. Jerry.
How are you?

I'd like to talk about Japanese young people, because I think they have some problems. For example, there are their activity, education, and so on.
First, I'd like to talk about their activity. I think almost they rarely go out, because they play video games or mobile games when they were children. Even if they go out, they also play a game in a park. I think they should move the body.
Second, I'd like to talk about education. I think many children are like a king. Because I think young people more selfish than older people. However, I think the cause isn't only themselves. I think family that have only child increase, so they can't experience to be patient with their sibling.

Hi Jerry,

How are you?

I am very happy because you are interested about my country. You must visit Spain next year, I think that is a good opportunity for discover other culture.

In my country, young people is very active, they do a lot of exercise every time and they go to the party every weekend o every night, it depends of the city. You can have plans every time, but you may be more interested in have tourism.

For people is easy be healthy because the food is mediterranean, for example, typical food are Paella, salad, meat... However, sometimes is very difficult eat healthy because many people prefer eat hamburguers, italian food, chocolate... I love chocolate!

People live with their parents until they have 20, 30 years o more, because in Spain in difficult buy o rent a house, the problem are the slow salary and high price, it is very expensive. When people end study at university, they look for a job, but is very difficult find it. Although you find a job, you need work for a many months to can pay a rent to live out your parent's house.

The education in Spain is free from 3 to 18 years. Then, if you want study at university, you will have pay a lot of money to study here. There are a big problem, because if you can't afford pay the university, you can't study here. In Spain, people think that is very important get a university degree, but I don't believe. I think that is more important be good at something and confident person.

The popular hobbies in Spain is football and basketball. Too is easier practice other sports as tennis and do yoga. There are a lot of facilities at school to practice sports, music and art.

Hello, I'm Soohyun !
How are you doing? Now I'm good and free, so I intent to write an email.
Today I want to introduce my city!

At first I want to ask a question, "Do you know Busan?"
The reason that I ask this question is my city is located near the Busan.
My city is small, so people to live in my city is not so active.
They are relaxed and calmed. Me too, I'm usually relaxed in my house and quiet. But sometime want to hang out with my friends and buy many things, we used to go to Busan.
Of course I can hang out in my city, but Playing in big city is more fun than small city. haha

My city is small but we can be healthy easily.
Because near my house and city is many parks, mountains and rivers.
So we can hike and walk easily. Of course we have many gyms!
But if you came to my city, you can be healthy for FREE!

In my city, students that ars going to elementary, middle, high school are live with their family. But university students, like me, often move out. Because my city has some universities, but most universities are in big city. And many students want to go university that is located in big city.
This is the same for me, so when I was in Korea, I lived in dormitory.

I have no time now, so I will write e-mail next time!
Bye!!!!

(It's could be my life style.) I think most Korean people loves 'hang out'. Because they have lots of stress..... :( That could be many things. For example, WORK, STUDY, MONEY..... That because Korean people wants to blow there stress so am I.
So we want to relieve our stress. Do you know? Korean people have JOY in there mind. So firstly, we usually go to 'Nolaebang'. (It's is Karaoke but we called Nolaebang.) It's very common in Korea. When we sing in Nolaebang, I think it's make dent the stress. Secondly, we drink a lot whole night!!

Hi Jerry.
I'm so happy because i know that you'll speak in the next class about Colombian people for that I want to teach you how is that people and then you'll have more information.

Right, the people in Colombia always is worried for start their own life as soon as possible, I think it's normal in latinoamerica because all the people wanna have money and a comfortable life so they don't have economic problems in the future, for example when you're 17 years old you want to have you own space and you own life, then if you live out Bogota is important for you to move to Bogota (Capital City) and to start the University. in fact, you can rent a room and to share an apartment add public services too. However, it's too hard when the people don't have enough money for help to you so many people decide to start to work even when they are so young.

Colombian students are good people but is normal to meet different kinds of students there, you can meet drinkers guys, drug addicts or normal people but the most popular is to meet intelligent and dedicated student! you know! it's the same in all the world!!

How important is it to get a university degree? right, I think in my country it's so important because you must just study all the time, your parents spend much money just for your education so you must be studying and don't lost time in other things.

the most people in my country finish the university when they're 22 or 23 years old then they start the second part of yours life! I'm talking about JOB! This's hard in Colombia because the opportunities are a little restricted. However, it's not impossible! you must just have patient and to insist.

I wanna tell you more things but maybe in a next moment.

See you my lovely teacher!.

First, i am going to talk about the youger people in my country, frequently all the people finish the high school and is so common that the people dream with going to the university, but sometimes this is not possible because the university in my country is so expensive. Also my country is so long and bad distributed and he opportunity for studies is in the big cities, special en the capital Santiago.
Now whit the new government politic more younger people can studied and sometimes they are the first member of your familiy to will be a professional.

Well, is you have the lucky to going to the university, you need studied hard generally for five years and sometimes more, one thing bad about the education in my country is when you studies y so difficult find a job, because you need go all the class and studies a lot, for his reason is hard have a job and be a good student.

Second, the good thing is when your finish the university, you can

Hi Jerry! I'm the one of the best student Jun.

Well..., Life for young people in my country
Firstly, I'm going to tell you about teenagers. I can tell you that they study very hard to go to university and they are studying at the moment because study is the best way to go to university and to make money. I thought like that but they know that study is not the best way to go to university and to make money. However, every time society say, "study is the best way to succeed", "just focus on studying".
So we study and study and study. But after I have been here, I felt there are a lot ways. If people who want to study abroad are thinking about studying abroad, I'd like to tell them you should go.

In Korea, they usually play computer games in their free time because there are lot of internet café in Korea.

and I miss those... bye bye

The young period is a sensitive and complicated period in everyone's life, because of many things in the future depends on the decisions that have been made in this period. Although it's easy to get educated where in a university or a college, finding a job in your specialized field after graduate is not an easy task. However, some young people in my city have another direction or another thinking than go to get educated which is opening their own businesses. Also, there are many associations that are supporting them to do it and without any benefits. They lend them the capital of their projects and give them a salary amount of 3000 riyals per month for first 2 years of the project. Some of these project are in the religious tourism investment which is very popular in my city. Around 3 millions people go over there per year in different times which create a lots of employee and most of them are for the youngsters.

Hi Jerry;)
How is it going? Today, I want to introduce about the young people in Tokyo. There are a lot of difference between Sydney and Tokyo.

First, I think I have to explain about Shibuya because there is the place where young people gather most in Tokyo. When I was highschool student, I want to Shibuya almost every weekday after school with my friends Because there are a lot of young people culture. Example, fashion, food, and music etc. When I was student in japan, I went to Shibuya on Halloween day. Nowadays, it is really famous in Japan. I heard Yurina also went Shibuya Halloween on last year. Also, I want to talk about music in Shibuya. Some of my friends are member of band. When they play on stage , it is always at Shibuya, because there are a lot of live house.
Anyway..... you should go to there when you go to Japan:))

Waleed

2017-11-09 05:02:27 UTC

Hi Jerry ,

hope find you well, thanks for asking and i hope i can describe what you want well, the majority of young people in my country want to study in universities after finishing high school , and fortunately they can do it .Because of, studying in the universities is free, Because it common belief that education should be for every one, either for poor or rich students, in addition, they receive around 300 dollars per month as a salary.However, year by year the entrance competition to the universities noticeably getting higher and higher , for example you need to get very high marks in high school to be accepted in medical school, and it is getting more difficult to find a job after graduating from some disciplines, so in my opinion young people should consider starting there own business rather than stay at home waiting for the government to find them a job.

kind regards ,

Waleed,

2017-11-09 05:02:31 UTC

Hi,Jerry! I'm happy to tell you about young people in my city. I think there are active and lively. Sydney is a very slow city and my city is the opposite,especially children in my city have a lot of stress from study. The most stressed are high school students, Because if you want to go to some good university in China is difficult.,so we must study hard and then we can go good university.

Hello Jerry! My name is Mandy
I want talk you about young people in my country, I will very happy talk you about this topic because you can know different culture and life-style in Taiwan.

Firstly, I will talk about young children life, some people finish high school in the summer vacation, they will to find some job, it can improve social experience. also some people think go to university is no significance because they believe making money more realistic. And some people believe go to university is important because they think the company is to see you qualification.

Well.. I think to go to university or not go to university, each has its own advantage and disadvantage,

2017-11-09 05:02:40 UTC

well,as i think in my country has good educational system.But every students can't select to the university,because lot of students pass the A/L so my country don't have more universities enter the students.
Otherwise my city is very beautiful and there are same nation parks.there for young boys can spend their free time in this places.And they can find a good job if they have a good education.
In addition, cricket is favorite sport in my country.Most of school students play this game.As well as my city is very attractive so same tourism are coming my country to see my city.

Younger generation in Tokyo Koto city

2017-11-09 05:02:47 UTC

In this decade, older generation in Tokyo tend to debate that younger generations in Japan as well as Tokyo are terrible on News or TV program. Okay, let me introduce my profile, I'm from Tokyo and 20 years old, as you know, I'm a one part of the generation in Tokyo.
When I hear about it I felt as if older people say that "we are such a reliable and faithful people not just like you young men" " your generation so sucks you guys always game at home and vote to a political party which support to alter the laws of a war and >?<":>":>}{}>?}>?{:">{+@#!%#"'
All right. Yes I can't deny that majority of children don't play out and we wanna change the laws about a war yeah both of them are correct. However, as a part of older generation, many who middle of ages around from 40 to 50, spending much more time on gaming than children is getting a national issue. Because of gaming, they are not doing their households or looking after their own children gradually. Nevertheless, although they are still not aware of too peaceful atmosphere surrounding us, they haven't admit us changing the laws. Even the rockets man who is next to our region, is still in a progress to make nuclear bomb and taking off for several times. To what extent we have to pretend to be a peaceful race.till nuclear bomb brown off the parts of Japan again? That is bullshit. That time is already over. We have already involved in the beginning of the third war. As a evidences, conflicts already started in various areas.

Hi jerry i'm sumin i'm going to talking about young people in my country
i think my country education is very development because our some school have to study ourselves after school we can't using phone and teacher is supervise about student so we can study hard you know, many student sometimes can't focus so i think some people have to superintend study
and my country have very important exam before go to the university every at the end of the year this exam depending on the results of the test, universities are determined so if we fail this exam, we can't go go to a good university so that's why we have to study after school

Nowadays, lots of young people try to find a job, but it is fairly hard. As robots are able to work instead of humans. Thus, looking for a job is difficult in these days, even they are intelligent and genius. Consequently, lots of educated people go to overseas to find work and live.

Firstly, usually they go to other countries to study. However, during studying some of students change their mind to live in that country because they get used to that life. Besides, when they visit the other countries as a trip after that they love with those countries attractions. For example, food, culture and love as well. Such as falling in love with the residents in those countries is able to change their mind to live those countries.

Secondly, working in another country, they can get higher pay than their own country. For instance, in Australia the payment is the highest in the world. This is the why many young people prefer to go another country with working holiday visa. Furthermore, they are able to learn English as well. Not only their mother-tongue such as bilingual people. If they can speak more than 2 languages, they are able to get more opportunities than the other.

In short, going to another country has both strong points and weakness points. Even though it will be tough at first, after few months later they can lots of benefits from there.

Hi,Jerry! I'm going to talk about young people in my city.
I think young people in my city have a good life. Because my city is country side,so we have enough space for playing out side, we can touch and feel nature.
I think feel and touch nature in childhood is very important. Because children are curious about a lot of things. It's also about nature. For example,We can go camping,climbing mountain,and go picnic and so on.it's good experience in their life. second, almost people live with old people. it tell us about difference of ages

Nowadays, the trend which students apply for public universities with hot major after high school is popular in my country Vietnam. In fact, some companies appreciate a worker having a public university degree rather a private university or a college degree. Therefore, many students want to study in university because of the working opportunities in the future. As far as I am concerned this trend not only brings some pros but also some cons.

On one hand, studying in public universities with hot major is good for students. The first reason is
On another hand, studying with popular major also brings some drawbacks. Firstly, some students follow this trendy major which they don'

Hello dears,

I want to tell about my country's young people and teenagers. Some of people believe that personal behavior is related from country's development. Specifically , is might be false. Truthfully in these days, my country also is developing country which in stagnant economy, several pollution and worse communication. However, young people who live in Mongolia are becoming more polite and professional.

1. Educationally - our education rate is increasing rapidly. Most of us achieve making degree in overseas or try to own the highest quality skills.

2. Technology - I found, technological changing influences for younger people's time that have to learn somethings. These reactions include both of pros and cons.

In my city, Italy, I think young boys' life is easy and difficult at the same time. Easy because they have all things that they want and difficult because they can't to appreciate all those things. With the technology their lives have changed in bad way because they don't talk anymore in reality. Neither their parents have time to follow their growth. They didn't encourage to follow their passions and now they don't have goals to achieve.
