Hallo
Also ich bewerbe mich für ein Auslandssemester an einer australischen High School. Jetzt muss ich ein Formular ausfüllen mit mehreren Fragen auf Englisch und wollte fragen, ob mir das jemand verbessern könnte?
- What expectations do you have?
I have never been to Australia before and I am very excited to get to know the culture and the country. I heard that the Australians were meant to be very open-minded and friendly. The school system is very different from the one in Italy, so I think that this will be a big change. I never lived in a host family before, I think living in a host family is a great experience. You have to become more independent and also help with the domestic work and stuff like that.
- What would you tell your host family about your home country?
I would tell them something about the school system, the culture, the food, my family, the daily life. At home I live in a small village so the life is surely very different. I would show them how to cook some typical dishes of Southtyrol or Italy.
- What do you think which characteristics does a student have to posses to have a successful stay?
For a successful stay you have to work hard and try everything to succeed with the language and the school. You don’t have to behave like you were at your own home, but to count yourself lucky that you can stay at this family. So you have to be helpful, friendly and reliable.
Danke im Voraus, LG Sarah
