1、When do people (usually) get married in your country?

When they are in their 20’s.People marry later now. This is certainly true in cities. This trend will continue in the next few years. People are putting their careers first. More people are choosing to study longer and leave marriage until they have graduated and found a good job.

2、When do people usually learn to drive in your country?

In their mid-20’s. It’s becoming more common to learn earlier. I think that learning at an early age can be dangerous. Younger people are often not careful drivers.

3、At what ages can people legally smoke, buy alcohol, and get married?

For smoking and drinking alcohol, I’m not sure. I often see kids buying cigarettes or bottles of beer and spirits. Maybe they are buying for themselves or for their parents. I think the legal age should 18 for this. Getting married? I don’t know the age for sure, but I think its 22 or 24. It might be different for man and for women.

4、 At what age do people usually retire from work?

I heard that the age is 60 for men and 55 for women, but I’m really not sure. Many people retire early or are retired by their company. This means that they stay at home, but still receive money from the companies. This system will not exist in the future, because it is not economical for company.

5、What could you do when you were younger that you cannot do now?

Sports mainly. I’m still fit, but when I was younger, I could run a mile in five minutes. I used to be a faster swimmer, too. Now, I only go swimming once every two weeks, so I can’t be as good as I was before.

6、How do you think your life will be different when you are retired?

I am sure that life will be more relaxing. It might be too relaxing and I will get bored. At the moment, I want to work part-time when I’m old. I’m not sure I’ll feel that way when I retire.
