Holly had never traveled more than 100 miles from her home in Oklahoma when she applied to be a foreign exchange student to Brazil. Her hands were shaking when she came home one day to find an envelope bearing the return address of the exchange program. She had been accepted as an exchange student to Brazil. Holly was excited and a little nervous to know that she was going to spend a whole year in another country. Holly didn’t speak Portuguese. She didn’t even know anyone who had ever been to Brazil.Fortunately, she had two months to get ready.

Gabriel looked out of the airplane window and couldn’t believe he was on his way to the United States from his native Argentina. Gabriel was an only child, but he was going to live with an American family that had six children. Gabriel would be living on a farm where sheep and cattle were raised and everyone knew how to ride a horse. He had already studied English for several years.

Every year, thousands of students all over the world take part in student exchange programs such as AFS Intercultural Programs, Rotary Youth Exchange and Youth for Understanding. With the aim of promoting(促進(jìn))understanding among people all over the world, these non-profit programs offer students a chance to study and live in another country for a certain period of time.

Students who have studied abroad report that being an exchange student is an extremely helpful experience. Living in another country,staying with a family and attending school means a good chance to 1earn about the country and the culture in ways that can never be experienced as a tourist. Learning another language is an extra benefit. Many former exchange students never lose their love of traveling. They go on to look for chances to travel throughout their lives.
