Exchange student essay 100 words

English
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It almost feels like as if it was just yesterday when I was on my own on a plane not really knowing what to expect but excited for what the future had for me. Now I'm back home with a ton of memories, e-mails to answer, and a lot of stories to share. I don't even know where to start now that I'm writing about my experience of being an exchange student in Appleton, Wisconsin for a whole school year.

Well, I've wanted to be an exchange student my whole high school life. I read about summer programs in a brochure from IFS, and I thought then that living somewhere else for a while and having friends from another country would be the coolest thing in the world. I would be on my own, have my own Indiana Jones adventure, and fulfill my dream of having something different. Pretty soon, at the end of my senior year, Mama and I were applying to IFS and we decided that a whole year would give me so much more immersion and would make the experience so much better. I had meetings in the weekends about rules, how to survive, homesickness, etc. Then I got an email. I had a host family! Next thing I knew, I had a flight booked.

I was so excited and happy and I was telling all my friends about it. I was researching about Wisconsin in books and in the Internet. Compared to what I saw on TV and what I experienced when I traveled to places like Los Angeles, California with my family, Wisconsin was different. It was more of farmland and countryside. I lived in Appleton and its population was around 70,000 and I thought it was a small town compared to our Manila. There was no traffic, they only had one major mall, and everything was in close proximity. I didn't even know what to think of the cold weather. I just brought cotton long-sleeved shirts with me. But when winter came, I needed to get a coat. During the winter, the sun would set at 4pm and it wouldn't go up until around 9. There were days when the temperature would go below freezing and I was wearing around 6 layers of clothing just to keep myself warm. I never even blow-dried my hair before. I had to do it every morning after I took a shower because if I didn't, my hair would FREEZE. The thing I liked best about the cold and the snow was being able to ski. People were so excited for me and telling me all their snow stories (since we don't have it in the Philippines). I have never skied in my life either, so I was excited and proud to learn.

The report card chapter 17
Sloan [31]

The report card chapter 17 is   rehearse.

Nora recalls reading about a 1964 experiment at an elementary school in which the organizers gave teachers a list of students who they expect to make tremendous progress throughout the year based on test scores. They discovered that those students did make tremendous progress. However, in reality the organizers didn’t create the list from test scores but rather at random just the fact that the teachers expected certain students to do well impacted whether or not those students did improve.

The Report Card is a 2004 middle grade novel by prolific children’s author Andrew Clements that tells the story of a young genius who has kept her intelligence a secret for her entire life.

which two sentences contribute to the overall eerie mood of the adapted expect her from the fall of the House of Usher by Edgar
vodomira [7]

Answer:

In this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a stay of some weeks.

The writer spoke of a kind of illness--of a disorder which oppressed him--and of an earnest desire to see me.

Explanation:

These two sentences contribute to the overall eerie mood that we find in this text of "The Fall of the House of Usher." In the first sentence, the author talks about a "mansion of gloom." This conveys the idea of a house that is old, abandoned, or that promises something terrible. The second sentence tells us that the author of the letter is "oppressed" by a disorder and desperate to see the speaker. This also appears to be a premonition of something terrible to come. Both of these give an eerie mood to the text.
