3rd. Post 3rd. Term
TEXT:
Hi everyone!
In this last Post we are going to talk (well actually we are going to write) about this project we started and are currently continuing in class. Now we are going to explain, in steps, how this all started and continued going on.
- We wrote our swedish contacts an email, introducing ourselves and starting to ask questions
- Later on, our contact answered our emails (of course, some of these came pretty, pretty, pretty late, but after a while they all answered). Some of them wrote long emails, some of them short (some of the persons, who answered late finished their email with an apology, because of their delay answering…)
- After this we had to continue our “writing” relationship and/or start communicating in some other social media (as in Direct message from Instagram, Skype, Whatsapp, etc.
We think that we all were very, very, very excited when we first got our answers, but a few were let down. Some of us really got their hopes up, and thought that our contacts were going to answer the next day, but of course it wasn’t like that. A lot of them answered three to four days even one week later. But after that barrier was overcome everyone enjoyed talking over another social media and getting to know their contact.
Now getting to our personal opinions:
We think that this was a very good idea, as it promotes the communication with people from all around the world. We believe that it helped us learn from other cultures, and the life in Sweden. We had fun and we got really excited when we first got an answer, however it was really frustrating when they came in late or at night, but it helped us exercise our patience. Some of us got along much better than others, but we are all working really hard to complete this project.
| Advantages | Drawbacks |
|---|---|
Learning about another culture, different to our own
|
This could affet our personal grade (if they don't respond) |
| Making new friends (them being from another country is just another plus) | They had vacations when we didn't and vice versa |
| We speak more english (with that we learn to write and speak the language more fluently) | It was difficult to contact them |
