1 . US people are overweight, eat lots of fast food and fill their homes with pets. At least that’s what 21 European teenagers think.
The students, 18 from Germany and 3 from France, are exchange students. They are studying in the US for a year. After a few days in the US, they said what they thought about the country.
Most talked about the amount of fast food US people eat. It’s not that the students don’t eat fast food. They just don’t eat as much.
Laetitia Villeneuve from France said she eats fast food, usually McDonald’s, only once or twice a year.
“I like it,” said Nora Koeberle from Germany. “But I couldn’t eat it every day. I’d get fat.”
Students are surprised at how big US people seem.
“There are fat people in Germany,” said Antonia Greimel from Germany. “But not as many as there are here.”
They also spoke about the animals. Silvana Wolfram from Germany said she had heard about how people had lots of pets in the US.
Other ways of US high schools interested the students.
For example, Koeberle said she wouldn’t be able to play an instrument or sports as part of her classes in Germany. She can in the US.
But the best thing about US high schools is something the European kids can’t get back home. “I do wish we had parties,” Koeberle said.
