How would you like to travel thousands of miles with total strangers heading for a place you've maybe only been to once and have heard lots of stories about? According to Nor- wegian exchange student, Chris Tesli. he's en- joying it very much! The main reason for coming to America from places like Sweden, Australia, Denmark, Norway, etc., is to learn more about our coun- try's culture. Having fun and partying,', quoting Australian Tami Smith, are also some good reasons. This year's exchange students, staying from five to eleven months, were seniors, Helena Johanson tSwedenJ, Claus Bjerregaard tDen- mark,J Tom Triska tSwedenJ, and Chris Tesli tNorway,J and juniors, Lola Lauritzen, Dianne James, Tami Smith Call Australians,J and Michael Smith who is from England and is staying here a year with his parents. School here is different from school in Aus- tralia, according to Tami Smith. They have subjects like Language Arts, for instance, in which they learn everything that has to do with writing or reading. Here we can take different classes specifically for those sub- jects. There are fewer tests at Green Moun- tain. i'ln Norway, we have at least three big finals in each class a semester, says Chris Tesli. Tom Triska feels that here we can talk to our teachers more as friends other than treating them like they're superior. A few of the exchange students also said that we, as people, are more polite and not as afraid to walk up and be friendly to a stranger. Some of the differences in the country as a whole are being bigger, thaving more room,j and not having nearly as many taxies and buses. Also, in countries like Australia and Norway, you may live five minutes away from both the beach and the ski slopes! Now wouldn't that be nice'?! fp .mi -,gi I.
