    When I was 16 years old, I went to the


    United States: I was a student then and that was the
    first time I left home.
    I went to Boston to live with an American
    family for two months only. How exciting! - I
    though. How scared I felt! But I went all the same.
    One of the things I remember quite clearly
    was my arrival: to start with, I missed the train from New York to Boston! That was
    trouble, although the family was there to greet me.
    When I arrived at the family house, I lost my voice, so nervous I felt. For three
    days I did not say a word. Now I know that was an unconscious way to get familiar with
    the English they spoke.
    Fortunately, after one week I felt more confident, I started to speak a little and
    the people in the house began to understand me.
    How nice and enjoyable the second week was!
    The big morning breakfast, a snack at lunch time and early dinner at 6:00 p.m.
    became a routine. The shops were interesting, the vanilla ice-cream was wonderful, the
    sports were attractive and in a short time new friends were like the old ones.
    This experience was unforgettable!
