- What makes you think that you would be a good exchange student?

- What do your friends and family think of you going away for a year?

- What do you think you will miss the most about home?

HELP ME!!..

Answer 1

Your English doesn't need to be perfect. The person interviewing you will probably be Italian anyway! I know I interview American kids for overseas all the time -- in English! :)

The biggest thing I can say is to be yourself! Be confident and sure as to WHY you want to go! Be honest! If you think you'd have trouble with a dog in the house, say so! One of the biggest things I look for is if a student looks toward his/her parents before answering a question! That is a BIG problem for me, as it shows lack of confidence and too much dependence upon others. You will need a lot of INDEPENDENCE for an exchange year!

Good luck!
