Would you like to improve your English and meet new friends? Then you would defenitely enjoy taking part to our college's International Exchange Programm.

I've recently been in Canada for four weeks. My host family was really nice. Tom and I immediately became very good friends. We still write to eachothers and I look forward to see him as soon as possible.

I choosed a four week journey, but you can stay up to eight weeks, if you wish. I think the shorter journey was the perfect one for me, otherwise I'm sure I would have started to feel homesick.

Although, my host family was really nice and I couldn't expect to meet a better one, social life was not that great. There was not a lot to do in the area in the evenings. So, we usually stayed at home.

But my host family brought me to see the area surroundings and that was the best part of my journey. We went to the Rocky Mountains which are really nice. We camped in a very big camping provided of all kinds of facilities like swimming-pools and tennis-courts and in one of our trip to the mountains' natural parks I could see bears. I never saw them before, it was so exciting!

Only a couple of things of my journey went wrong. The travel costs were higher then I expected and the pocket money I brought with me wasn't enough. So, if you decide going, check the travel costs first and bring more money for the weekly expenses, not to feel worried all the time and to avoid asking for money to your host family.

Beside those things, I wish you can join the Interational Exchange Programm, because it is really worth it!  

 Errors in red.

"journey" is not the right term here - a journey is something you do when travelling. Alternative words you could use are trip/visit/stay
