Dear Annie,

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience we've had together this year through our virtual exchange. Your thoughtfulness, empathy, and sense of humor have made our discussions truly special. I'm so grateful that we were able to establish a connection and learn from each other. My perspective has been broadened and challenged as I reflect on our conversations. I've gained a deeper understanding of the diversity of cultures and experiences, and I've been inspired by your unique perspectives and insights. Our talks have also taught me the importance of kindness, active listening, and an open mind in building meaningful connections with others, regardless of distance or background. As we come to the end of the year, I'm reminded of the many AP Language topics we've explored together. Our discussions have reinforced the significance of language in shaping our identities, from analyzing rhetorical strategies in texts to debating how language influences our understanding of the world. I now see AP Language concepts everywhere: in how politicians use language to shape public opinion, how social media platforms change our understanding of the world, and how stories bring people together.

Thank you again for this incredible experience, and I hope we have the opportunity to connect again in the future.

Best regards,

Lilly H

I wish this year of AP Lan had treated you well. I truly appreciate you sharing your school and personal life with me. I hope the soccer season went well for you and that you are still on track for basketball season.

This year of AP Language feels like a roller coaster, with its highs and lows. How did your year in AP Language go? As we are both still juniors, I hope we are both trying our best and pushing our limits during the summer and next senior year. Speaking of AP Language, I truly appreciate the rhetorical activities that help us understand rhetorical choices and critical thinking, allowing us to think more critically. With my understanding of the word "exchange," I think our exchange is not only established through our ideas and minds but, most importantly, through a change of lifestyle and culture. I was surprised to hear that you guys go to school on Sunday. Personally, I could never do that. I truly find the class guided me to become a more disciplined person. Let me know how your year went and how do you like the class!

Best regards,

Cody

Hey Mohamed, thank you for taking the time to speak with me. Our talk together was great and significantly opened up my mind regarding the length in which how far we are and yet we are taking the same class. To answer your question I felt that AP Language and Composition was a great learning experience and I also had fun doing it. I had some friends of mine in my class as well as an amazing teacher. I felt that the exam went well and I feel that I could score high based on my in-class writing I feel confident that the AP graders will like my work. I also feel that I can appreciate the class a lot more after the exam and what it has done for me, it had some bumps in the road but I feel that it was an amazing experience. This class makes me feel like future English classes will be easier. I also would like to thank you for talking with me and wish you a good rest of your year!
