Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to             how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I        that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and       friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was      , nothing about my term in France was what I      .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was       by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting      I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to      out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a       this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) to      my native language, I asked not to be       with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I       myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the      .
I left France with many      , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always       to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends      France we enjoyed together. I love how people       seem so different, but end up being so    . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people       to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful     .
