a) - Well, I think I would go to England or to the USA.
b) - What subjects would you study?
b) - I would study English, Literature, History and Science, as well as Technology and Art.
c) - What things would you have to do before you leave?
c) - Before I leave I would have to become an exchange student, get my Mum and Dad's permission to live with a certain British or American family, see the doctor in order to check up my health.
d) - What things wold you need to take with you?
d) - I don't think I would need to take much things with me. Just the most nessessary, of course!
e ) - What kind of things would you have to buy ?
e) - Souvinirs for my host family, for sure, and may be something else.
I haven't decided it so far. (=yet)
f) - Would you stay at a hostel or with a family ? Why ?
f) - As I have already mentioned I would prefer to stay with a family.
Why? On the one hand I would have much more possibility to practice the language, and on the other hand I would have an excellent chance to watch real British or American family life and not on the cinema or TV screen.
g) - What problems would you have ?
g) - I suppose sometimes - language problems, and sometimes lacking some money. Because, I suppose there would be so many things to do and to see... But my parents are not money sacks!...
h) - How would you keep in touch with your parents ?
h) - Oh, nowadays it wouldn't be a problem at all. Certainly over the skype.
-Thanks a lot!
- The pleasure was mine.
