“My student exchange was one of the best experiences of my life. I had the opportunity to learn and experience many things, such as American culture, hobbies, habits, routines, among many other things that a native American has. I went to the United States with the aim of studying and improving my English, and I can say that I fulfilled this goal because, in addition to learning from the Americans, I lived with them: at school, at home, in stores, and in restaurants – thus being able to improve my second language in all skills (writing, reading, listening, and speaking). But in addition to the intellectual, we must also evaluate the emotional. The exchange is 100% worth the opportunity. It is an experience that will change your life in many ways, but you have to be strong, have courage and believe in yourself. Believe that you have the potential to be there and that you will make the most of it.”
After seeing what a wonderful experience her niece had, Letícia decided to give Maria Laura’s younger brother, Antônio, the same opportunity. When application time came in 2022, Letícia knew just what test Antônio needed to take and where he could get it, saying “Of course, I already sent a message to Sandra.”
Like his sister, Antônio took the iTEP SLATE-Plus exam with the hopes of getting into The King’s Christian School. “iTEP provided me with great Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing, and Grammar exercises. Thanks to today’s technology, I was able to do it with great tranquility, ability, and ease,” he said. “I’m very happy that I took the exam and got my score and identified my level of English. I advise everyone who wants to find their level of English to take the iTEP, as it is a quick, practical, and very valid test for several American schools that require it for enrollment in the exchange programs.” Antônio is enrolled to begin classes at The King’s Christian Academy in the upcoming fall semester.
