For most students, spending time in foreign countries is a good experience. It is said that Australia is a favorite place to go.
A student once said,” after a year of traveling, I learnt the importance of relationship with people.”
There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects—helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country.

Dear Andy,
How are you and your family? I hope everything is OK.
I am very happy to read your e-mails. I want to go to Nanjing. I know something about Nanjing from your e-mails. Your English is very good. But I don’t know much Chinese. Now I’m learning it from a Chinese teacher in our school. He is from Shanghai. And he knows Nanjing very well. He tells me many things about Nanjing and China.
I’m happy to know that you love your new school and your family. I’ll tell you something about my family and school. My grandparents and my parents are fine. They want to go to China. My brother, Dick, is eighteen. My father has a brother. He is my uncle, John. He and my aunt have three children. They’re Bill, Mary and Lily. I like my family very much. My family will go to China next month. We are going to Nanjing! Let’s meet in Nanjing. Remember me to your parents. (代我向你父母问好。)
