I hope you all had great holidays and enjoyed
them as much as I did.
Due to the fact that we were talking about our trip
to England in our last English lesson I now want to tell you all the important
things you need to know about my motivation for a language week and spending
time in a host family.My motivation for our trip to Cornwall is on the one hand that I want to get to know the culture of my host country and on the other hand I want to learn the language English better.
Another motivation for our
language week is to learn something about a new culture. For example the listen to music of England, or go shopping to some boutiques in London and their fashionable clothes. I'm also looking forward to the food in the host
family, which they will cook for me.I am also excited to see the landscape of England and especially to see the landscape of Cornwall. On television, pictures or on the internet, the landscape of Cornwall looks beautiful. In London, the capital city of England, we will do some sightseeing.
If I live in the host family and go to school every day in the host country, I will learn the language mush better. I can't wait to the many experiences in the language week.
All host families are carefully chosen by an organisation, but it can still happen that a host family and exchange student do not get on well. If the communication problems or other misunderstandings can’t be solved, the exchange student will be moved into a new family.
Host families open their home to young people from abroad to share their community and culture, as well as to enrich their own family life. Therefore the exchange students are asked to do chores around the house, for example to do the dishes or to clean the bathroom.
I think now you know enough about my motivation for a language week and spending time in a host family. Do you suddenly feel like going abroad for a few weeks ? Go for it!
I hope you enjoyed my blog posting.
See you soon,
Sabrina
