take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better.

information that they'll forget about after the test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your

friends of family.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but

you soon learn to like it.”

Meanwhile, in America, Mike, a German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize（批评）
