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 the rest of the world.

Here is a 2­way student exchange in action.Fred,19，spent last year in Germany with George’s family.In turn，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 rather than individually.Fred found the food to be too simple at first.He also missed having a car.

“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.“I suppose I should criticize American schools，” he says，“It is far too easy for our level 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.I think that maybe American schools are better than in training their citizens.There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

Differences between American School Life

and German School Life

A new report says only about half of all students in the main school systems of America’s largest cities finish high school.The report notes higher rates of graduation—more than seventy percent—in areas surrounding the cities.

The Editorial Projects in Education Research Center prepared the report.

Researchers studied high school graduation rates from the two thousand three，two thousand four school year.They also identified the nation’s fifty largest cities.The largest，New York City，had a population of more than eight million.The smallest city was Wichita，Kansas.It had about three hundred sixty thousand people.

Researchers used a system of measurement called the growing promotion index to find graduation rates.School officials in many of the cities studied say the resulting numbers were too low.That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates.Critics say many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who leave high school before finishing.

Other studies have put the national graduation rate at about seventy percent.But experts agree that too many students are not completing high school.They estimate the number at more than one million each year.

The report was prepared for America’s Promise Alliance.The private group aims to help children receive services they need to succeed.

General Colin Powell was chairman of America’s Promise Alliance when it was formed in nineteen ninety­seven.He attended the press conference Tuesday where the report was released.He said studies have shown that the United States must do more to educate the leaders and work force of the future.

Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke.She said the government will propose that states use the same methods when reporting graduation rates.Alliance officials also announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates.It is to include a series of meetings to be held in every state over the next two years.The meetings will bring together elected leaders，business owners，students，parents and education officials.They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school.

I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I shall be with you again on holiday.I have enjoyed my stay in England very much indeed.Mr Brown and classmates are nice to me，but，as they say in England “There_is_no_place_like_home”，and I think you feel this above all at Christmas time.

I’m leaving here early on Thursday，the 23rd，and I shall arrive in Basle on Friday morning，so I shall be home somewhere about lunchtime.Can you meet me at the station，as I shall have a lot of luggage?

In some of my earlier letters I have told you all about the other students here，well，I want to ask my Polish friend Jan to come and spend Christmas with us.Will that be all right？His father and mother died last year，he can not go home for Christmas，and he has no friend in England except the Browns.He is a nice boy.I know you all like him，and I feel sure he will enjoy Christmas with us.It is very short notice，but you are always pleased，I know，if we bring our friends home.However，I have not yet invited him，as I thought it was better to ask you first.Please let me know as soon as possible if it will be all right.
