Three foreign exchange students find many differences in American Ashtabula StarBeacon

Published November pm Lakeside High School has always been known for its cultural diversity. Three foreign exchange students find many differences in American culture Lakeside High School with RAECHAL TOWNER SAYBROOK TOWNSHIP Lakeside High School has always been known for its cultural diversity. This year Lakeside s diversity has broadened further by welcoming three foreign exchange students from three different countries. Gyu Lee also known as Sally Choi from South Korea is hosted by the Pamela and Peter Bean family. Hong Cao from Vietnam is hosted by the Ruth and Douglas Edwards family and Cathrine Mic Olsen from Denmark is hosted by the Jill Spellman family. All three students are visiting until after their senior graduation in the spring. By sharing their country s ideals each day they teach Lakeside students that there are alternate ways in which to live. Each girl was interviewed and asked many questions about the comparisons and differences of their home land and the ! United States. The questions included school rules and schedules socialization entertainment and foods. They also addressed such things as personal relationships among their peers and parents and talked a little bit about how they got to know each other. Sally Choi is a fairly quiet girl who is tall and wears glasses. It was apparent she was eager to answer any questions. She said there were many differences between American education and that of her home country. One noticeable difference is that the teachers move form one classroom to another rather than the students moving between class periods. Uniforms are mandatory at her school and the hours are considerably longer. She was required to attend school six days a week from a.m. to p.m. each day except for Saturday when the school days ends at p.m. Other differences include the choices of recreation. In South Korea going to amusement parks and going figure skating are very popular. Students ride buses or subways to and f! rom these activities. Since come to America hot dogs have quickly become her favorite food. But back home she prefers sushi over everything. Sally is very quick to point out that she has made many friends at Lakeside and plans to keep in touch via email with everyone. While she admits to being homesick her remedy is to email her parents daily and talk with her parents weekly. Hong Cao has a slightly different perspective. The school scheduling is a real adjustment to her because in Vietnam she attends classes on alternate days either during the morning or afternoon. This is similar to our college class schedules. Also her home school has few total square feet but has more students per class with some classes having to students. She also noted that her school has less extracurricular activities and no lunch period. For fun Hong and her friends enjoy going to movies or each other s houses but it is very uncommon to spend the night at a friend s home. The main mode of transportation in Vietnam is either motorcycle or bicycle. Cars are very limite! d. She said she is delighted that her house mom loves to cook and introduced her to pancakes which have become a favorite of hers. As far as dating Hong said when you date no study. When you study no date. Like Sally Hong said she dearly misses her family and daily communicates with them via emails. Cathrine graduated three years ago after completing the ninth grade. She started learning English in the fourth grade with Danish being the primary language. Cathrine said after high school there is no college only school after school. In her after school program she participated in many sports. Gymnastics and dance were her favorites and she would like to become a teacher in one of those disciplines. She too has acquired a new love for one of America s favorite snacks namely Oreo cookies. She also misses everybody from school and home and talks with them frequently on the phone.
