ASAP!!! One of the best ways to put language learning to practice is to spend time in the countries where the language is spoken. You could join a travel program, participate in a student exchange, or sign up for volunteer work abroad. There are many programs available to middle and high school students (over the summer or during the year) and to gap year students (the year after high school and before college). Research travel, adventure, exchange, and/or volunteer abroad programs that take students your age to countries where French is spoken.
Write one paragraph in English summarizing a program that appeals to you. Your paragraph include 8-10 sentences and respond to the following questions:

-What is the name of the program?
-In which French-speaking country is the program located?
-What are the requirements to participate in the program?
-What interests you about the program?
Remember to include a link to the program you choose.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
