Sample work German Year 11: audio presentation

You might think you know Germany, but Germany isn’t Berlin or Hamburg or Munich! There is a whole world outside the big German cities that you can get to know.

• If you are over 16 why not come to Germany for a 3 month exchange.
• The exchange will provide you with accommodation during the period you attend school with a German family.
• There will be 2 months of school and one month of holidays.
• The exchange is reciprocal. If you are accepted you will be expected to host a student either before or after your exchange.
• What you can offer a potential exchangee will be considered.

To be successful you must demonstrate that you:

• are outgoing and interested in Germany
• are a good student of German
• enjoy new challenges
• can act as a global ambassador.
