1. Read the text AFS Benefits of Intercultural study. Answer the questions in Portuguese.
“My time in Germany taught me the value of asking questions, and of learning their true, if
harsh, answers. Germany has changed, in my eyes, from a land of ‘Bier und Bratwurst’ to one of
sincere people, whose attitudes and perceptions reflect their history. Consequently, I now realize
that every country on earth is undoubtedly worthy of exploration and understanding.”
“Before leaving for Italy, I constantly worried whether I’d be laughed at, whether I’d fit in. I
now realize how silly I was.”

Juárez that fall. I did not become a ‘new’ person. I am not even sure I want to say
I changed. I did get a new dimension to my life, and a broader foundation to
balance on when making my perceptions of the world.”

3. First draft: still in groups, compare your notes and put your ideas together to complement the
description. Example:
In Brazil, people are very nice. You can make lots of friends and learn a lot of different things!
Because the country is so big, there are several cultural traditions. In the north, there is a festival
called bumba-meu-boi or boi-bumbá.

Write your draft in the lines that follow. Then ask your teacher to check it!

can make to improve your text?
5. Now produce the final version of your text. Remember that it should look like a web page! Use
