Band 6+: The younger sister of one of your friends is thinking about spending a year studying abroad as part of her university course. You did this recently, and she has asked you about your experience. Write a letter to your friend's sister. In your letter • tell her where you studied during your year abroad • describe what you learnt about the country you studied in • explain why your year abroad was helpful for your studies

Dear Jennifer,

Hope you’re doing well. I’m writing regarding your question about my recent experience for spending a year outside of the country as part of my education.

As you may know, I went to United States for my study to Attend California University in Irvine. Actually, I joined a group of researchers who are working on the same topic as my thesis.

During this period, I’ve learned so many new things about United States. For example, I’ve learned that they are not as multi-cultural as we are in Canada, and in some cases, I was witness of some racism. And I think it’s the issue that you have consider. Furthermore, I’ve found out that they’ve same system of technology and way of research that might be helpful, as you don’t need to learn new things.

Totally, it’s a great opportunity for me as I needed to work on campus layouts for my case study, and as I was there, I’d an access to archives and all the resources.

Let me know if you have any another questions, I’d be more than happy to be helpful.

Regards,

Atousa
