2. a) You are going to read two articles giving tips to those who would like to take part in an overseas student exchange programme. Put the tips to the right article.

A. How to become a foreign exchange student

Being a foreign exchange student is a rewarding experience that will change your life as you broaden your outlook and learn more about other cultures. Still here are some helpful things to remember when setting out on this cultural adventure.

B. How to host an exchange student

Hosting a student is a life changing experience that promotes a positive environment for cultural understanding. By hosting a student you open your eyes to things you never thought possible. Here are some helpful things to remember when setting out on this cultural adventure.

1. It is perfectly acceptable for you to establish reasonable ground rules. For example, if your own children can't stay out after 10 p.m. on school nights, you should let your exchange student know that he / she has the same responsibilities (1).

2. Firstly, ask yourself why you want to undertake this step. If all you want to is learn a certain foreign language, you could just sign up for a foreign language class. You must understand that being abroad has much more to do with culture and experience than just language skills. However, learning the language is also a very good benefit that the exchange experience can bring.

3. Learn about them. The sooner, the better. Get their e-mail address and you will be able to begin communicating with them before they arrive (2).

4. Look for people that have had this experience. Ask them why they decided to sign up for the programme, where and when they travelled and what the biggest benefits they got after the exchange programme conclusion were.

5. Different countries have different options open to high school and college students to study and live overseas. Think about which countries you would like to live in, but remember that ANY COUNTRY and ANY CULTURE is amazing. The exchange experience is not limited by countries. Be sure that any place can bring you an amazing experience.

6. Be polite and mind your manners. However, politeness and manners differ from culture to culture. Try to learn about the exchange student's culture beforehand. Discussing these differences in manner can be an important way to share knowledge of each other's cultures.

7. Choosing the programme will require some research and planning. Find out which options you would be fit for and what criteria they have for students, what the cost is and whether scholarships are possible. And don't worry, you can't fail if you take it seriously (3).

8. Spend time with them. Chances are they won't be able to visit you for a long time, if they do visit you again. Take them to the beach and teach them games that don't exist in their culture. Hosting an exchange student is something you will remember for the rest of your life, and hopefully you will remain lifelong friends.

9. Make them part of the family. If you have chores or simple tasks in your households, let them be a part of it, too. Chores could include dishes, taking out the trash, or even walking the dog (4). Involve your student in the daily responsibilities of your home life and they will feel more like a family member than a visitor.

10. It is good if you can speak the language of the country you are going to (5). If you can't, learn at least the basic things of the language (6). Buy a dictionary of whatever country you are going to. It would help if you were able to locate a pen-friend from that country (7).

11. Be open to learning. Encourage your students to share their experiences and traditions with you, just as you are doing with them. The learning experience runs both ways – this is one of the most exciting things about being a host!
