This year 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten
months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form
impressions of America.They
will learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany
with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in
America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after
two months' study, the language began to come to him. Students rose respectfully when the
teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that
are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
The
father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than
one of the members. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed
having a car.
"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a
good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
Meanwhile, in America, Mike, a German boy, was also forming his idea. "I
suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools, " he said. "It is far too easy by our
level.In
Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities.
I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There
should be some middle ground between the two. "
