Miles away from home, senior Nanuka Dudashvili notices the heat of the Texas as she waits for her host
family. Dudashvili thinks about what they will be like and what being an exchange student will bring her later in
life.
On Sept. 11, Dudashvili arrived in the U.S. as a foreign exchange student from the Republic of Georgia. She
wanted to participate in the foreign exchange program because it’s her last chance to get involved this year. “I think
everybody’s exchange family is different because it depends on what kind of school, what state, and what kind of
host family you have,” Dudashvili said.
Dudashvili was used to how close everything was in her hometown but coming to the U.S., she realized the
distance of everything around her. She came from a small country between Asia and Europe, where the schools
were smaller and the classes they teach were different. When she first started school in the U.S., she noticed the
size and friendly environment of the buildings. “I was amazed by the school. I was actually walking with a map all
week,” Dudahuili said.
It wasn’t hard for her to get comfortable in a new place, for her classmates made her experience in the U.S.
more enjoyable. Dudashvili’s host parents also helped her develop some of her favorite experiences. One of them
being New Year’s since in the Republic of Georgia they don’t observe Christmas, her host parents celebrated all of
the traditions for the holidays.
However, things can turn out a little bumpy sometimes. A challenge Dudashvili faced as an exchange student
was the use of technology in classrooms. Sometimes she would take twice the amount of time submitting
assignments on an electronic device than she did writing them by hand.
Dudashvili believes being a foreign exchange student has completely changed her life because it has helped
her grow as a person. “I always wanted to change something in my life and I felt like this was the best thing to do,
Dudashvili said, gave me everything and meant lot to me.”
4. Why did Dudashvili want to take part in the program?
A. Because she loves the heat of Texas.
B. Because she wants to leave her hometown.
C. Because she is quite familiar with her host family.
D. Because she doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.
5. What do we know about Dudashvili’s new school?
A. It requires students to take a map.
B. It’s huge and has many buildings.
C. It’s miles away from where she lives.
D. It has smaller classes than those in Georgia.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. She gets homesick sometimes.
B. She is fond of religious traditions.
C
.
She experiences severe cultural shock.
D. She gets on well with her friends from school.
7. What does the underlined word “bumpy” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Tough. B. Opposite. C. Dull. D. Plain.

"Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide." Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country?
Statements like these that no one can prove are called puffery. Puffery is legal, even though it cannot be proved. In
fact, puffery has been called "a license to lie", as it is regarded as an opinion rather than an objective statement.
Using puffery to raise awareness of products and to increase sales, is a common advertising method. Some
people, however, worry about puffery. One of the concerns is whether consumers are misled by false advertising.
Therefore, advertisements containing puffery sometimes can be tested in the courts, and the decisions that are made
help to tell the difference between acceptable puffery and illegal advertising.
On the one hand, if a company tells the public that it sells the country's best-loved" or favorite product, this is
thought to be puffery, rather than an objective description of market share. Similarly, the company does not have to
produce proof that such puffery is actually supported by numbers or facts. In other words, advertisements such as
the world's best cup of coffee" are impossible to prove. They are too good to be true and thus it is expected that any
consumer will understand how subjective they are. Such advertisements are therefore not thought of as misleading.
In fact, puffery like this in these advertisements is often considered to add to the entertainment value.
On the other hand, a company that states their products is the safest" or cheapest" needs to show proof,
because statements that are objective need to be supported by proof or statistics. Consumer rights organizations can
run tests to examine whether or not such statements agree with the fact. Companies should thus be very careful
when making factual statements about a product.
A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know -about
