Why did you last feel sorry for a person you know?

1) Do you like staying with your host family?

Do you think you will miss them once you're back in America?

2) Once you're back home, what will you miss most about your stay in Italy? [I wouldn't include a list; believe me, they'll have their own ideas!!]

3) What do you like most about your host family? The friendly atmosphere, the food, the places they go ... [You may not need a list here, either. The students will know!]

4) OK

5) Do your teachers give you a lot of homework? Are your teachers strict about getting homework turned in on time?

6) Which household chores do you have to do at home? Do you have a washing machine and a dryer? Or do you hang your laundry on the clothes line to dry?

7) What sort of house do you live in?
[I wouldn't include a list. They will be able to tell you. Most will live in a single-family house or in an apartment, I think.]

Why did you last feel sorry for a person you know? What happened?

1) Do you enjoy living with your host family? Will you feel a sense of missing them once you return to America?

2) What aspects of your stay in Italy will you miss the most? (Consider including a list of options such as your host family, new friends, the local cuisine, etc.)

3) What do you appreciate the most about your host family? Is it the friendly atmosphere, their cooking skills, or perhaps something else? (You can provide a list of qualities or ask for open-ended responses.)

4) Which subject do you excel at academically? On the other hand, which subject do you struggle with the most? Additionally, what is your favorite subject? And which subject do you find the most challenging?

5) Are your teachers known for assigning a significant amount of homework or providing frequent assignments? Do they have strict expectations?

6) What household chores are you responsible for at home? Do you have access to a washing machine and dryer? Do you prefer to hang your clothes on a clothesline?

7) Can you describe the type of home you live in? Is it a flat, a terraced house, a villa, a semi-detached house, a detached house, a block of flats, or even a skyscraper? (Consider including the list of options in brackets.)

Lastly,
