  1. In the U.S., getting a driver’s license is a
    very important and exciting event for
    young people. It means that they are
    beginning to be adults and that they
    can have a little more freedom and
    independence than children have. Are
    there special events in a teenager’s life in
    your culture that show you are becoming
    an adult? What are they?
  2. In the U.S., girls often stay all night at
    the home of their girlfriends on Friday or
    Saturday night. Their mothers supervise
    them. Where do young people in your
    country get together to talk with their
    friends? Who supervises them? (Supervise
    means watch and be sure nothing bad
    happens.)

    Discussion questions.
    The same practice in our country is made after becoming adults. Children try to learn driving and for that, they join a driving school and try to get a driving permit. I don’t think that we have any other specific culture for becoming an adult.
    In our country girls go to their friend’s houses and sleepover. It’s the mother’s duty to take care of them.

  3. Greetings Maestro Sersea
    In Honduras, a child is considered an adult at the age of 18 years old. That is when the young people get their Id. Since there you can to tramit whatever t legal document that you need independently of your parents as a citizen including the permits to drive. You cannot get your driver’s license if you don’t have done a course provided by the Transit Police and submitted your legal documents such as Identification Card, Sight, and blood analysis. That are the requirements required by our laws.
    Thank you so much,

  4. Dear teacher,
    1- In Cambodia, a child is considered an adult at the age of 18 years old when those people get their ID. At this age, they are not only become an adult but they also have enough right to do everything under law or legal document that you need independently of your parents as a citizen including the permits to drive. You cannot get your driver’s license if you didn’t have done a course provided by the Driving school, do driving exam and submitted your legal documents such as Identification Card, Sight, and final test. That are the requirements required to respect laws.
    2- For people who become an adult, they can’t not sleep out side with friends because of Cambodian culture that woman keep good reputation, keep verging and avoid sexual before wedding.
    So that their parents are not allow them to stay out side with partners or friends. They must arrive home sleep in house with their parents. If s.o break rule, their parents will call back home or punish their children.
    Thank you so much,
