Since came here, I met people. Last week, I went to a party at my friend's house.
I met some of the other students from Mexico at the party. Of course, we spoke spanish,
so I didn't pratice my English that night. There were only people from Mexico at the party.

Here are four people's experience whth foreign food.Shao Wong is a studen in France.
He comes from China .''I'd never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are
rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in
France. I hted it! I sample cheese too, but couldn't manage more than one bite.
I love ice cream, though, and tha's made from milk.''Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to
Australia on vacation. ''I was in a restaurant that especialized in fish, and I heard some other
costumer order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is

PUT THE LIST IN ORDER

I love my job. Every day new things, and Iam always challenged to find creative ways to teach so that my students enjoy lerning. Both of those elements are very satisfying for me.
Also, even though Iam basically a shy person, I think my job helps me to be outgoing.
When I am teaching Iam thinking about communicating with my estudents, and I don't feel shy.
Finally, I love learning about other cultures, and I fell that my mind is more open to other ways of thinking because of my work.
Learning about other cultures teaches me a lot about myself.
All in all, I feel very lucky to have a job like this.
