I’m really grateful that they let me stay in their home. I love Chinese food and enjoy every meal I have with my host family. I’ve learnt to use chopsticks, and I can speak a little Chinese!” The students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students. At the weekend, they go on tours with their host families around Beijing and visit places of interest, such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the National Museum. “I’ve watched videos about the Great Wall before, but seeing it in person is definitely an unforgettable experience!”says Lisa. “The wall snakes its way through the mountains of north China for thousands of kilometres. The Great Wall is no doubt one of the most amazing achievements in human history!” The students also spend time learning about Chinese culture. They get to try different things for themselves. “It’s been a fantastic experience so far,” says Eric.“I’ve learnt a bit of tai chi, and I really enjoy it. The teachers have introduced us to Chinese painting as well. The way of painting is very interesting. It’s quite different from what I’ve learnt in my art classes back home. We dip the brush in black ink, and paint on a special kind of paper, called Xuan paper. I haven’t had much success yet, but I’ll keep trying.” “I’ve made many new friends,” says Sarah.“I plan to keep in touch with them when I return home. We’ll see one another soon because they’ll come over to the UK for the second part of the exchange next month. I can’t wait!” Task 1 Match the main idea with each paragraph.
