READING</p><p>Read these testimonials from students who had experiences abroad and check the appropriate slot(s) to</p><p>make the sentences true.</p><p>(Total: 5 points - 0.5 each correct answer)</p><p>Achmed – Saudi Arabia</p><p>I went to the United</p><p>States from Saudi Arabia</p><p>to fi nish high-school. � is</p><p>was truly a coming of</p><p>age experience for me. I</p><p>learned so much about</p><p>myself and how I interact</p><p>with the world. I loved</p><p>that I was surrounded by</p><p>people who shared my</p><p>curiosity and travelling</p><p>passion. � is study abroad experience taught me</p><p>to appreciate di� erent cultures. I have to confess I</p><p>expected to face some prejudice, and sometimes</p><p>I did, but we sometimes take stereotypes too</p><p>seriously. When you meet and talk to real people,</p><p>all biased stereotypes simply disappear. � at was</p><p>true for myself and for the people I met.</p><p>Henry – Belgium</p><p>My experience</p><p>abroad was a bit of a</p><p>disappointment. I spent</p><p>three months in Brazil,</p><p>and it didn’t go exactly</p><p>as I planned, but I guess</p><p>it was kind of my fault.</p><p>I thought learning</p><p>Portuguese was going to</p><p>be easy, so I didn’t study</p><p>anything before. By the time my Portuguese was</p><p>beginning to come together, I had to come back.</p><p>It was a pity because I missed lots of chances to</p><p>know the country and the people better. So my</p><p>advice to you is to learn the language before, or go</p><p>to a country where they speak your language. If</p><p>you do this, you are going to enjoy the experience</p><p>a lot more.</p><p>Maria – Russia</p><p>Before deciding to</p><p>come to Germany for</p><p>my graduate studies, I</p><p>have to confess I was</p><p>skeptical about these</p><p>programs. But then</p><p>I read so many good</p><p>testimonials from</p><p>people who had great</p><p>experiences that I</p><p>thought: well, it must</p><p>be true then. And I’m</p><p>glad I did come. If you’re in doubt about joining</p><p>a program, you should get a lot of information</p><p>and talk to people who have already done this.</p><p>I guarantee you’re going to love the experience.</p><p>� e opportunities for learning and for cultural</p><p>exchange are truly unique.</p><p>Hanna –</p><p>Netherlands</p><p>Studying abroad in</p><p>South Africa was</p><p>the best choice I</p><p>made in my life! � e</p><p>whole experience has</p><p>been completely life</p><p>changing for me. I can</p><p>honestly say that I</p><p>came back a changed</p><p>person. I’ll never forget</p><p>a safari we went on, and the awesome feeling of being</p><p>so close to nature. If you have a chance to have this</p><p>kind of experience abroad, you should do it. Going</p><p>to another country to study and travel is an amazing</p><p>thing to do therefore I urge students to explore the</p><p>beautiful world and cultures while studying abroad.</p><p>Let’s all go study abroad!</p><p>CNA EXPANSION 1_MIDTERM_TESTB.indd 2 01/07/15 11:13</p><p>MIDTERM TEST - TYPE B | 3</p><p>3.
