Last week we (the Americans) were asked to speak to the English students of FISK. FISK is the English/Spanish school in Horizontina but they also give Portuguese classes to the few Americans who live here. Five of us talked about the United States and the differences between our countries. There were about fifty students in the room. We showed pictures of snow (which they don't have here), home projects (like hanging drywall), and pictures of our homes, while explaining the differences in how homes are built. The students seemed very young, but many of them have been learning English for several years. It was fun for us to share about out country. We realize what an advantage we have because we were born in the States. The students seemed hungry for any knowledge they could gain from us. Emma wore her American Flag dress and danced through the aisles as if the people there had come to see her!!
