SETTLING IN
Going to stay in a different country is fun and exciting. You will be living the life of a British teenager, speaking in English, eating different foods at different times of the day and experiencing a different lifestyle. To help you settle in over the first few days here are some things to remember:
- Keep an open mind and look forward to facing new challenges
- The climate, customs and lifestyle will be different to home, try new foods at different times of the day and embrace new experiences
- Prepare questions and topics to share with your host family
- Don’t be frightened to ask questions and practise your English at every given opportunity, families are accustomed to hosting students of all levels
- You are staying in a family home, tidy up after yourself and behave respectfully
- Remember your British manners, say please and thank you!
