This year,about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1 ,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn about the rest of the world.

Here's a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred,19.spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return，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 of studying,the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.

They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.

Family life,too,was different. The father's word was the law. All the activities were done with the family. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car. ⁴⁴ Back home,you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany,you walk.

But you soon learn to like it. ”

At the same time,in America, Mike,a friendly German boy,was also forming his own ideas. ‘‘American schools are far too easy for our level”’ he says ,‘‘but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany,we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. ”

Differences between American School Life and German School Life

Travel is fun and exciting,but it⁹s not if you get sick. You many think ,“Not me,I won’t get sick on my vacation. But for many people,that is what happens. Of course you don't want to spend your vacation sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health? There are three things you should remember when you travel ： relax,sleep and eat well.

A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit： museums, shops,parks and churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. You may be very tired. Your feet may hurt and you may have a terrible headache after a few hours. If this is the way you feel,you should take a rest. Don’t ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice spot. In good weather,look for a quiet park chair or you can stop at a comer. You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy,you need to get enough sleep. You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. If this is true,don't be afraid to change rooms or hotels,or you may not get enough sleep. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities the nightlife can be very fascinating. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra hour can make a big difference.

Finally,if you want to stay healthy,you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruits and vegetables,and some meat,milk or cheese. When you are in a new country^, you may want to try new food but you need to be careful about how much you eat. Lots of rich food is not good for you.
