WHAT THE ITALIANS WROTE
FIRST STUDENT
The experience of a class exchange " changes " people in a positive
way : you are willing to accept new ways of life , it is like if you see the
world with a child's eye . When you get in touch with another cultur , can only
accept the new life style and it must become an integral part of your daily
life. Only inthis way you can feel the " the benifìcial effects" of
the experience . Very often the stereotypes , that one has got , disappear :
you see that people are different from country to country , that habits , traditions
, ways of life aren't the same . But I also think that the class exchange experience
makes you reflect about yourself and about life. Only in this way you can become
more open-minde and enthusiastic to face other cultures.
SECOND STUDENT
Two weeks with a different culture that we can't learn from books
and I have learnt a new way of life, new rhythms. My host sister was spontaneous
, thoughtless, but above all she was free! ON THE CONTRARY IAM TIED BY MY RHYTHMS
, DUTIES, TIMETABLES I THINK TOO MUCH BEFOR ACTING. Two weeks with her have
changed me, I have become more self-confident , mature and freer than the "
old " girl I used to be.
THIRD STUDENT
Before the class exchange I didn't know that the Americans were
friendly , sociable and solar persons . I didn' t know that they wer informal
with strangers .
