The person in the email is very similar to my ideal exchange student. I’d just like to change her passion about sports because I’m not very keen on them.

Es.8 pag. 23

I think 1 wouldn’t be a good exchange partner because I’m quite negative and so I’d like to stay with positive people.

I think 2 would be a good exchange partner because I’m not very good at sports so I wouldn’t feel alone anymore.

I think 3 would be a good exchange partner because I like Science and Maths, too.

I think 4 would be a good exchange partner I really like pop music and I could find new songs.

I think 5 wouldn’t be a good exchange partner because I’m scared about horror films.

I think 6 would be a good exchange partner because we could go shopping together.

I think 7 would be a good exchange partner because I love animals, too.

FOCUS ON PRELIMINARY

Hi Jenny,

Thank you for your email. How are you? I’m very excited to stay in England with you!

In my free time I like going out with my best friends and watching films. I really like musicals and romantic films. I also love reading books and listening to music, especially pop and rap music.

What about you? What do you do in your free time?

Let me know and see you soon!

Hi George,

How are you?

I’m very excited to be in America. I arrived only two days ago and I already had a lot of fun!.
My host family is very caring and cheerful. They are four people: my friend’s parents, her sister and him.

He’s 16 years old and he’s tall and thin. He’s got dark hair, green eyes and a big smile. He’s very funny and outgoing! I’m laughing a lot with him during this days. He loves sports very much, especially football. I hate football, you know, but I’m learning to appreciate it. He also likes pop music like me! I have just found lots of new songs!

What about you? How is it going?

Let me know,

Bye!

Giulia.
