Student Two years ago, I went on an exchange programume to Italy
and it (1)out to be the best year of my life. I read a lot
about Italy when I (2)at primary school because I was
fascinated with gladiators and Ancient Rome. There was
an exchange programme nt my school and I was really
excited (3)that I had qualified for it. Of course, it wasn't
easy.(4) took me one year of study before I passed the
exam that showed that my Italian was good enough for
me to go to school there. I also managed (5)my parents
that a year abroad was worth the extra expense, saying that (6)
experience would look good on my university
applications.
Finally. I was on my way. At Arst, I felt a little homesick
because there were (7)many differences in people's
behaviour. Everyone seemed outgoing and cheerful, and
I'm a rather reserved person. They were all really warm
and welcoming, though, and(8) wasn't long before I
thad made a lot of friends. I'm still in touch with them
today, and I have learned a(9) about myself from living
