The new year 2022 has come, I am leaving with a group of friends from the city of love, Paris, we are heading by bus full of exhausted, but nevertheless happy people, to Germany, passing Brussels . During these adventures, everyone fulfilled their little dreams. Young, excited people sing songs in chorus, waiting for the next destination, and only I am sitting in the thought… I'm thinking what to do next after returning to Kazakhstan. After all, my exchange semester should end soon, and not all young and ambitious people, whom I am, want to stay in one place. On my return, going through all the options to continue exploring our vast world, since Europe has shown what a multicultural world it is, I came across all kinds of programs for students, including Work and Travel. I have a golden rule, "if you see an opportunity- take it." And I follow this rule dutifully. Despite the fact that I, as an ordinary person, have a habit of breaking the rules and not keeping my words. And as you can see from where you see this story, my dear readers, I followed my rule this time too. And so, let's figure out why Work and Travel? And what kind of experience do I want to get? Firstly, I would like to point out that the program allows you to work in an English-speaking country. This is a great opportunity for guys whose profession is related to English, and even more so for future teachers like me. Language is an instrument of thinking. To handle the language somehow means to think somehow: inaccurately, approximately, incorrectly. Learning and knowing the structure of a language is one thing, it's another thing to speak and feel a language. When you try to speak correctly, follow language rules - this creates difficulties, and being in the environment with native speakers gives the person a huge bonus and removes those very barriers. In the process of working together you get used to live speech, remember the features of intonation and pronunciation, learn to distinguish different dialects. Moreover, knowledge of the language develops memory and thinking, enriches the inner world, helps to better understand the culture of native speakers. In addition, words that sound somehow in your language take on a different meaning in a foreign one. Secondly, travel. As the name of the program itself says, the purpose of the program is to work and travel. Coming to travel and going back is a good and pleasant pastime, but the experience that I will describe to you now is much more interesting. Summer. You found friends from different countries, you have one common language, you worked and were a close-knit team, you spent a productive and most atmospheric summer in the country of Netflix, McDonalds, Apple, skyscrapers, baseball and capitalism, and then you go on a trip to the states that you dreamed of getting to since childhood on your hard-earned money. You have to admit, it sounds fascinating! When else in your life will you have such a chance? Travel develops us. I'm sure you've heard it many times. So how does this manifest itself? Before my exchange studies, I thought I was good at geography, and I was wrong. It turned out that I was confusing ordinary facts, and it was my arrival in Europe and the desire to visit every corner of it that helped me consolidate my knowledge about this culture. Now, I know which country borders on another, now I know the capitals of the Scandinavian countries, which I constantly confused, I can distinguish the architectural style of medieval cathedrals, and that Finnish is not a Germanic language at all, as I previously thought. I know facts that I would never have guessed to search on Google in my life, I know folk history from the stories of the citizens themselves. I thought I knew enough about America, because my generation grew up consuming American content. However, based on my experience, I know that I still have a lot to learn. In addition, it is an opportunity to show the world your people. Kazakhstan is a mul
