Going on an Exchange Program – Host Family Gifts



I’m traveling to the USA next month on an Exchange Program. I’m going to stay with a host family. Should I take souvenirs from my country to the host family? This question pops into the minds of many exchange students when they realize they’ll be living in a house with strangers! A homestay is an invitation to understand others’ day-to-day lives better, but it is also scary. “Welcome” or “housewarming” gifts to give your host family are the perfect way to break the ice and get conversation flowing at the start of your homestay. Gifts don’t have to be super expensive and elaborate, but they are usually representative of your home country, state, or town. Give them in the first week after your arrival and be prepared to say something about each gift and express your happiness for being with the family. It’s also good to plan a ‘thank you’ gift for your good-bye at the end of your stay.

So, now that you know gifts for host families are expected, start thinking about what kind of gift to buy for a house full of strangers from a completely different country and culture? Don’t worry! Think about each person in the family (you have some information about the family members, don’t you? How many are there? How old are they? What are their favorite sports and pastimes?. This is a good start!

But have something in mind! Good host family gifts are always unique. Many host families receive international students every year, so it’s safe to think about something typical of your country or city or region, but a little more original than miniature flags or keyrings or mugs! A good gift for your host family must represent where you’re from, but not just that; it must be something that acts like an ice-breaker between you and your host family. Meaningful gifts can start interesting and integrating conversations between you and your host family. Before arriving, practice saying a sentence or two about the gift in your host family’s native language. This will be a good start, for sure!

An exchange student who is going to live in a family’s home in a foreign country...

D) should give the family typical and unique souvenirs from their country or city.

Interpretação de texto

A alternativa D é a correta, pois indica que o estudante que faz intercâmbio deve dar à família que o receberá no país estrangeiro um "souvenir" (presente, objeto usado como lembrança) típico e único de seu país ou cidade. Deve ser algo que represente o lugar onde o estudante vive.

O trecho que comprova a resposta é:

"Gifts don’t have to be super expensive and elaborate, but they are usually representative of your home country, state, or town."

(Os presentes não precisam ser super caros e elaborados, mas geralmente são representativos do seu país, estado ou cidade.)

O texto não fala que o estudante deva visitar a família primeiro, nem sugere que os souvenirs devam ser caros. Também não indica que ele deva dar chaveiros e canecas, já que não são muito originais.
