Study Abroad
Soon I __________ my job and move to Europe. I am very excited about it. I ________ an
exchange student for one year in France and Spain. I _________ in France first for six
months, and then I ________ to Spain and I will live there for six months.

In both countries, I ___________ language at a local university. I do not know French or

Spanish now, so I ____________ trouble when I first move there. Still, I __________ my
best!

I will live alone, and I am sure I ___________ friends, but I hope I ___________ new
friends soon. My best friend ______________ and visit me around New Year. We
___________ a trip to Greece. We __________ our plans until later.

I am sure I ___________ some problems when I first move there. I will have a hard time
buying food, and talking but I am sure I _________ fine.

I _________ a lot of things about my country, and I will miss my boyfriend. He

__________ time to visit me, so I __________ him until I return. I _________ him every
week when I am there. I think we __________ together, but I am not sure. I hope we will
stay together!

I am sure my life will be different and I _________ , but I hope I will change in a good way,
and I hope I __________ my decision. As we say, only time __________ !
