Аудіо - в Інтернеті пошукати. Текст: Speaker 1.I went for an exchange to Spain for 6 months, which became the time of my life. I had quite a long list of amazing experiences, from climbing the Teide volcano in Tenerife to taking in the beauty of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia. I’ve seen and known a lot; I learnt to be more responsible and punctual. Also, I never would believe that my Spanish would improve that much in only a few months. If you go to a country whose language you do not speak school is probably the hardest thing. When I arrived I could only say basic things, so I did not understand anything until about the third month; I got so tired of just thinking and translating what people said. One of the other difficult things was adapting to the culture. It is so different: eating at 3pm for lunch and at 10 pm for dinner. Also, Spanish people don’t sleep much, so I got very tired. But, anyway, Spain has given me great memories and I would definitely recommend participating in an exchange program to anyone for any purpose, and especially if you are learning or wanting to learn a language. Speaker 2. My exchange to Canada helped me grow, as I became more independent, confident, and pushed myself outside of my comfort zone. Leaving my family and friends was the hardest part, while the best parts were the truly Canadian experiences: the ice hockey games, going to Tim Horton’s, and seeing the beautiful Canadian landscapes. Most of all I loved meeting the other exchange students, they all looked happy and were so friendly; we bonded in an instant over our shared experiences and goals. Just think about it, you get to know lots of different people from all around the world, but you all have one thing in common: the desire to learn and share your knowledge, that’s when the magic happens. Speaker 3. I spent a year in a small country town in California, USA. I learnt a lot about myself and seemed to become a completely different person. I smiled more often and became confident, I knew what I was responsible for, and learned how to manage my time. Also, I made new amazing friends and had a very nice, supportive host family, who made me feel at home. I was lucky enough to go to a few other states and cities and met other exchange students from all over the world. I took such a lot of remarkable photos and visited really unforgettable places. But the hardest for me was to change my timetable, as the time and weather there were completely different from my country. So, it took about 2 months to adapt and feel comfortable. Speaker 4. I will never forget my exchange to France. People keep asking me what the highlight of my trip was and I honestly don’t know. I have so many great memories to choose from, like going skiing for the first time, millions of funny conversations that resemble games of charades, going out with my friends, or the day I got 18 out of 20 on my math test! One unforgettable memory was my illness. My family were so far away, but I needed to feel their care and support then and there. Though these very moments taught me to be independent and grow stronger. I had travelled the whole new country unaccompanied and only relied on my own partly-rational decisions. Every time I look back on the unique culture I explored, the amazing people I met, the wonderful places I visited: the Pyrenees, Versailles, the French Riviera, Cannes, and Monaco - I feel again how awesome it was and how much I am glad I did it.
