Yet for 38 young passengers between 15 and 18 years of age, it is the start of a new experience: they will spend 10 months of their lives studying abroad, far from their families. Every year the United States is host to an average 78,000 foreign high school-level students, of which 3,000 are Brazilian. They go for the same reason – to become fluent in English, complete high school, and understand everything they can about the American way of life. “For me”, says 17-year-old Gloria Marcato, “it’s more important to learn to speak English and live through this experience than it is to receive a diploma from the American government”. Others, more ambitious, dream of continuing on to college. “I want to be a Основной язык, начинающий поток, 2 курс ОБРАЗЦЫ conductor, and I’ve already chosen the best American music school,” says Sandro Rofrigo de Barros. Things, as they say, are not always so easy. Very few arrive in the country with all the details worked out. Gloria Marcato is one of the lucky ones. Before leaving, she had received two letters and some photos of her new “parents”. “I think it all depends”, says Gloria, “on how you answer the questionnaire sent by the overseas study company here in Brazil. For example, I didn’t economize on words. I even wrote about my four dogs, and said I went to church every Sunday”. She hit the target. Americans are quite religious (the majority being Protestant) and have a special place in their hearts for pets. One important regulation of the foreign study program has to do with the curfew1 set by the host “parents” to be at home on weekend nights. “They’re really tough”, says Julianna Martini, who just finished her first semester - “You have to be in by 10.30 p.m., and if you disobey, you get punished”. After a few days, the general complaint is about the food. “Even though I adapted easily, I really miss rice and beans. The food here doesn’t look too nourishing”, says Fernando Andrade. However, the biggest problem most youngsters face is homesickness. ОПП ОБРАЗЕЦ ЭКЗАМЕНАЦИОННОГО БИЛЕТА ПО ОПП БИЛЕТ № Объём текста - 630 п.з. Время подготовки – 2 мин.

Paris That representatives of Serbia and Kosovo were sitting at the same table for talks was an achievement in itself. But whether the two sides could reach an agreement to overcome ethnic enmities in the former Serbian province – and clear the way for their eventual membership in the European Union – remained uncertain Tuesday. Talks were being mediated in Brussels by the European Union, which both Serbia and Kosovo are eager to join. But the Union is extremely wary of importing the frozen conflict into the bloc, and Brussels has made clear that the former enemies must normalize relations. If the talks are successful, they would mark a seminal moment for Serbia and Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, almost a decade after NATO bombs helped push the Serb former strongman Slobodan Milosevec out of Kosovo and end a brutal civil war against majority ethnic Albanians. In mid-April the Union’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, is scheduled to produce a report that will determine whether to open membership talks with Serbia.( Such a step would be a landmark for the country and could help rejuvenate its struggling economy and cement its links with the West.)
