Hello , hind from Iraq .
In my country the parent are interesting of their sons ,so if young person doesn’t study hard or doesn’t do well in school they study their special corses for these items or the bring private teacher to do well because the education is very important in my country .
When I feel tired and don’t want to study , I do many things ( I feel bored if I did not understand what I’m reading ) so leave the reading at first and I listen to soft music then I retain while I read slowly and focused on it and try understand subject that I did not understand and may be I try learning and improve in another way.
Greetings to all
1. In your country, what do parents usually do if a young person does not study hard or does not do well in school?
Basically the same as Caroline’s parents. In my country we ground our childs if they don´t study like they have to and get bad grades in school
2. When you feel tired and don’t want to study, what do you do?
That’s not a problem if you have all your tasks ready. Otherwise, you must finish them if you want to rest.
Lesson 2.25.3 Year 2
American Teens Talk!
Caroline, 14
In my country, the same kind of punishment is given by parents to their children. Children are grounded from computers, pocket money, and no hangout until they get a good report from school.
When I get tired I read an Urdu novel or listen to old Indo -Pak songs.

Here in my Country Honduras, Literally is the same, the parents use to struggle with their sons at scholar ages, and the young person is grounded from television, video game, computers, etc. The young person hasn´t permitted to hang out with friends, and they must be in their houses until their grades got better. Sometimes It´s a little funny because they try to negotiate with their parents about their video games or something else that they love, but many times is necessary for them to pay close attention to their duties and homework.
Thank you so much.
