Following on from the previous lesson, we talked about the best party you’ve ever been to
Jason told us about a house party he went to last weekend and touched on an interesting point – parties in Australia are very different to those in South Korea
In South Korea parties are usually at a restaurant or a club, and even the clubs are very different! Here, because we live in houses rather than apartments we tend to stay home and party there.
Kyoung Suk told us about her ‘initiation’ birthday, her 19th birthday, where she and some friends went away, got drunk, tried to swim in the ocean, got caught by the lifeguards, and then kept drinking. Sounds like a good time!
Which got us to talking about important birthdays in your country. In Australia we mostly celebrate our 18th and 21st birthdays. Of course, there’s our 30th, 40th, and definitely our 50th, but some people also don’t like to celebrate these, for obvious reasons 😉
How old would you like to live to?/What age would you like to live to?
Jason and I agreed on living until 60 – that seems to be the age where the health problems really seem to start. Of course, to get to that age would be lucky in itself!
How are elderly people treated in your country? How much respect do you have for elderly people in your country?
