Lessons 7-8 They travel the world

  1. R ead this letter written by an American teacher from a partner school and answer the questions.

My involvement in an exchange program was the result of having visited Russia. I thoroughly enjoyed myself while living and teaching there! Fortunately my school and our partner school in Russia received a joint grant from the US government to con­duct a further teacher/student exchange. The purpose of the exchange program was to provide students, parents and host families with an opportunity to deepen com­prehension and respect for other people and cultures, tearing down old stereotypes and misconceptions. So ten Russian students and their English Language teacher arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana for a four-week visit. They stayed with the host fami­lies, and some of the American students and host families have continued their rela­tionship with the Russian students after they came back home. Some of the students visited Chicago and other American cities; however, I think all of them would agree that eating at a Russian restaurant in Indianapolis was the highlight of their time in the United States — everyone who was there stated that the food was delicious! In con­clusion, this was a “win-win” situation for everyone concerned. We learned about each other’s language and culture, and, for many of us, it was very painful to have to say da svee-dahn-ya to our new friends from Russia.
