reality 4 by brenda little stouffville its difficulty im- agine a responsive teen born and raised in an englishspeaking home having trouble conversing in her native tongue but thats what happened to lori thomp son rupert avenue stouffville when she returned two weeks ago from a three- month stay in germany i became so accustomed to thinking and speaking in german i found it hard to speak english again says lori the mouth movements are so different it physi cally hurt me lori left canada three months ago know ing very little german now she is almost fluent in the language it was difficult for the first couple of weeks says lori people didnt under stand me and i didnt understand thcm but i picked it up quickly after that it wasnt the language barrier that lori found hard to break it was the cultural barrier their way of life is so different ex plains lori they live at a much slower pace they seem to know how to enjoy life more adds wendy thompson loris mother wendy was also treated to a taste of german living when the thompson family joined lori in germany for a month lori also found german teens much different than those in canada young people there dont watch televi sion says lori when they do its an event they would much rather socialize the little lakefront town where lori stayed like most german towns had a place where all the teenagers met in the afternoons and evenings to talk or party loris family also found the german peo ple to be more social theyll go out to a restaurant for dinner then sit talking all through the night says wendy they also have many picnics and gettogethers one of the first things lori noticed about german teens and german people in general is they dont abuse alcohol everybody drinks beer over there ev ery day like they do water says lori the big difference is they dont abuse it lori was puzzled one rainy evening when she saw a german girl going to an outdoor park party with a sleeping bag the girl told lori there was no way any of them would drink and drive theyd rather sleep jn the rain one of the first things lori noticed being thrown into a foreign classroom was the differences between german and cana dian education systems german students go to school from 8 am to 1 pm monday to saturday the system is also geered entirely to academics and is very impersonal there are no sports teams explains lori also i missed talking to the teachers they dont get to know their stu dents like canadian teachers do although there were many barriers to overcome lori enjoyed her stay she travelled a great deal when school was dis missed for the summer the german government organized trips for the exchange students to west berlin east germany hamburg switzer land and munich loris favorite pilvi loris exchange partners parents also sent the girls to finland to attend a relatives party while travelling throughout germany lori appreciated the beauty of the country there are flowers everywhere says lori and theres no pollution she was also surprised by the manner isms of the people everyone is so friendly says lori they are also very polite they always shake hands when they meet and they show canadians a great deal of respect despite the warmth and generosity of the german people lori is glad to be home ive really learned to appreciate cana da she says unlike germany we have clean lakes and our country is more adv anced technologically lori was shocked when one of the host families became excited over an ice cube tray she found it hard to believe that until recently germans had never seen them lori also found the fridges in germany very small arid there are no computers in the homes of schools germany has its good points and its bad explains lori everything consi dered id like to go back some day lori
