This is a letter written by an American teacher from a partner school “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 programme 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 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 did 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 State. 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 part with our new friends in Russian.

Answer the question: If you participated in an exchange programme what would you expect from the programme for yourself? (use your active vocabulary).
