Today more and more people are interested in studying foreign languages. In my view, studying abroad is a great experience and its benefits are indisputable. Thus, foreign student exchange programs are a great way for students world-wide to experience life in another country. To begin with, as a student residing, you are totally immersed in the language both in and outside of school. You have to carry out all daily activities like awareness of traffic signs and road regulations, asking for directions or socializing with native people in the target language. Besides, if you live with a host family you will definitely improve your conversational skills because you avoid speaking you mother's tongue. You watch films, listen to music and carry out regular tasks in the language of the host country. Additionally, all school subjects are taught in a foreign language. As for other advantages, you become more self-disciplined because you have to shoulder lots of duties such as planning expenses and doing chores around the house. Besides, studying abroad is an unforgettable cultural experience. By meeting new people from around the world one will be able to know more about different ideologies, faiths, cultures and ways of life. So, it is.a splendid opportunity to make new friends. However, studying abroad has some drawbacks. Firstly, it may be stressful for children as they have to live apart from their family. Secondly, they may experience language barrier problems. That's why students should be able to speak in the language of a host country, at least, on a basic level. Personally, 1 think that if a person has a real wish to study abroad, then he will find ways to cope with stress. Taking into consideration all mentioned above, international student exchange is, undoubtedly, beneficial for all schoolchildren. However, it is very important to decide whether or not you really want to study abroad, away from your family and friends, and adjust to unfamiliar customs, culture and environment.
I think summer is the best season of all because it is warm, the nature is beautiful and we have great opportunities for rest. Summer is a time of holidays. We can go anywhere, spend our time near a river or a lake on fresh, green grass, swim in warm water, or climb mountains, play different games, ride a bicycle and so on.
I spend my summer holidays at my granny’s. There are many things there to do. What I did most of the time - I swam in the sea and sunbathed. Sometimes I made a fire with my friends at the seaside and cooked potatoes there. It was wonderful. We told anecdotes to each other, and did everything we wanted. I also got used to walk alone in the forest.
When August was coming to its end, I went on a small voyage by ship. The ship name was “Sevastopol”.
But this summer wasn’t for me only sugar and honey. I have passed through the graduating exams after school and entering exams in the university. So the bigger part of my summer vacations I spent sitting with the books. Of course, it was not interesting, but I’m glad that I did it because now I’m a student of the best university in our country.
