Isabelle Chedru and Jill MeCuteheon
This year's exchange student
sponsored by the Brussels Lions
Club is Isabelle Chedru from
Fance who arrived in Brussels
this week and is staying at the
McCutcheon residence. Next
week she goes to camp in St.
Marys where she will meet other
exchange students. Then she
returns to Brussels for 2 more
weeks. For one week she is going
to Pennsylvania with the
McCutcheon
Isabelle is 22 years old and has
just finished University in France
where she studied management.
Next year she will go to Thailand
to look after children for one year.
She speaks English very well but
she says she has a hard time
finding the right word. She
studied English for 8 years but for
the last 4 years in university she
was not taught it so practiced on
her own, In her spare time she
likes to ski, play tennis, swim and
sail and looks forward to seeing
Niagara Falls, Ontario Place and
Goderich.
When asked about some of the
differences between home and
Canada, her first reply was that
the food here was quite different.
She also says the houses here are
much different because they are
not enclosed with fences and
borders as in France and in
Canada the houses are' more
spread out and not in straight
lines. Isabelle is amazed at the
picnics and barbeques over here
because in France such events are
not held. She attended a shower
while here and found it curious
and wondered if they did that all
over or just around. Brussels.
She finds the weather here
"tres chaud" but unlike some
people said she did- not think
that Canada was a country
covered with snow all year. Asked
where she had heard about
Canada before coming over she
said she, had heard a lot about
animals that live under the snow
and also had heard about the sap
which runs from maple trees. She
says she hears quite a bit about
Quebec and would like to visit
there someday.
While she really
likes Canada she still prefers the
fashions in Friance. Her final
comment was that all the people
here are very friendly and very
pleasant.
