On-line listening.Choosing a Student Exchange

There are a lot of programs that helps students to go abroad, exactly to the United States. Students can study in foreign country for some time, but if they want, they have possibility to work and travel there too. The main idea of these programs is students’ exchange. It means that one student goes and lives in family of other student for few months.
I would like to go to the United States, because I think that this country is country of possibilities, and there you can reach your dream easy. The salary is bigger than in my native country, work conditions are better. You also can meet new people, make new useful social contacts, start your own business.
However going abroad has a lot of disadvantages too. Your motherland is far away, you a missing your friend and family members. Traditional food and holidays become precious recollections.
