THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
Spending a year in a foreign country has always been popular with
university students, but now more secondary school students are
also studying abroad and one of the most popular destinations is
New Zealand. We asked two teenagers why they chose New Zealand.
I spent last year at a co-educational state secondary school in Christchurch.
I chose New Zealand because it is a beautiful and safe country and people
speak English. I wasn’t disappointed.
There were 1,400 students, including 50 foreigners, at my school. I was a
bit homesick at first because my English wasn’t brilliant, but I soon made
a lot of friends and got used to the lifestyle. It’s less stressful than here in
Germany and people are more relaxed. The teachers were caring and my
host family was really kind. Outdoor sports are big in New Zealand and I
discovered a lot of new interests: sailing, mountaineering and ... yes, rugby!
You can’t find better than New Zealand for a year abroad. It was the best
decision I’ve ever made!
Dieter, 15, Germany
When I told my parents that I wanted to study abroad, they said OK, but it
has to be a safe country with high educational standards. New Zealand was
the obvious choice and now I don’t want to go home to California! I go to a
girls’ state school in Auckland which has film studies as a special option.
Since The Lord of the Rings, New Zealand’s film industry has become world
famous, which is why I want to study at university here, too. But what I’ve
enjoyed most are the free-thinking people and the stimulating discussions –
I’m going to miss it.
