Jack, how have your two sons been doing at school recently?
Don't ask. Mark never start studying and Jason never stop studying.
You are joking. I heard that Jason is likely to be at the top of his class after his exams this year.
Yes, so his teachers say he's been buried in his books every evening for months on end recently. He is hoping to go to Harvard University.
Great. Maybe he'll become a university professor himself in the future.
Maybe, but sometimes I wish he'd go out and enjoy himself for a change.
How about the younger one?
Well, Mark's teachers say he has ability, but he rarely does his best. He does his homework in 10 minutes every day and then rushes out to play football.
But he can make his fortune at football. People can make a lot of money from sports now.
My wife always worries about their future. She wants Mark to study law. I don't believe in forcing them. But I wonder how Mark will progress over the next few years.
Perhaps you, you can have a talk with him now to find out what he's thinking about his studies and future plans.
Good idea. I'll take your advice.
