Todd: Now Kate, you said that you actually had exchange students live with you…
Kate: I did.
Todd: …in New Zealand.
Kate: I’ve had 3 exchange students.
Todd: Ok, can you talk about each one?
Kate: Yep, the first one, she was very young, she was 14 I think at the time, so it was quite difficult for her to come to another country by herself, but by the end of 2 weeks she was in tears when she left our family. She was just so happy and overjoyed. And we still keep in contact.
Todd: What was her name?
Kate: Ariko.
Todd: Oh, ok.
Kate: Ariko.
Todd: So were all the exchange students from Japan?
Kate: They were. Three from Japan.
Todd: Who else did you have come to stay with you?
Kate: The next one was interesting. She was from Kanto.. Kansai, near Osaka in Japan. And she actually…she was in a band, a brass 1 band, an orchestra 2. She actually came to New Zealand to just play in this orchestra. She was a very lovely girl. She spoke 3 fluent 4 English so we had no problems in communicating.
Todd: How long did she stay?
Kate: She stayed for 3 weeks actually. A bit longer.
Todd: You said there was one more…
Kate: One more was Ayako. She was older, she was actually more my brother’s age so she spent a lot of time with my brother rather than with me ‘cause I was going to school every day.
Todd: Oh, I see.
Kate: But we still got on very well. And my most memorable 5 moment was going horse riding with her.
Todd: Oh, nice. Had she been on a horse before?
Kate: No, first time.
Todd: She must have been pretty scared of the horses!
Kate: Yeah she was.
