My name is Rachel. I am a student in Toronto, Canada. It is the second largest country in size in the world.

Every day my brother Andrew and I go to school at 9:00.I dislike getting up at 8:00 in the morning! When we finally get up, we need to eat breakfast quickly at home and walk to school.

At school we learn English and French, because Canadian speak English and French. Of course, we also learn history, art, science and math.

My brother’s favourite sport is football. But I can’t play football at school—there is no grassy area on the playground.

    School ends at 3:30 Andrew and I walk back home. I have to do a lot of homework first. After dinner I can relax. My favorite hobby is going for a boat-ride with dad. Sometimes I go to the park. I hope you can enjoy learning about my life.

A Two-way Student Exchange

　　This year 1 twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. 2 . They will attend U. S, schools, meet U. S. teenagers, and form 3 of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new 4 and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

　　Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. 5 , 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. School was completely different from what he had expected－much 6 . Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects 7 the six that are usual in the United States：There were almost no 8 activities.

　　Family life, too, was different. The father's word was 9 , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. 10 , he missed having a car.

　　“Back home, you 11 some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly 12 boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American school,” he says. “It is far too easy by our 13 . But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but 14 . Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for 15. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
