Nn exchange program in the USA Hello. Can you find any mistakes? I am applying for an exchange program in the USA and this one of my answers. Learning a Language is a never-ending journey. Studying the language in a non-English speaking country has made me feel proud sometimes. Proud, because I could make do with English textbooks, movies, songs and so forth, apart from attending a language academy, of course. I tried making online friends to boost my English skills as well. However, it is not the same thing as real life ones. In my opinion, it is not fair to make friends just because I want to learn something from them. Also, when I did, conversations were limited to “Hi” and “How are you?” With the “Humphrey Program”, after ten months, I am quite sure that it will change my experience as an English teacher ,air traffic controller and a human drammatically, because I will be able to be a stronger professional in my carreer in Brazil. In five years, after my experience, I see myself like a source of knowledge sharing highly qualified information not only to new air traffic controllers, but also making part of the team who is certified to master new English teachers to pursue their certification. I remember that all my teachers who have had experience abroad were seen as role models. They were and are still great examples for me. In other words: I want to be like them , like they were for me. In five years, this program will surely have taken me, my students/colleagues to the next level.

Learning a language is a never-ending journey. Studying the English language in a non-English speaking country has made me feel proud of my accomplishments sometimes. Proud, because I managed to make good progress through English textbooks, watching movies, listening to songs, and so forth, in addition to attending a language academy, of course.

I also tried making online friends with native English speakers to boost my English skills as well. However, these relationships are not the same thing as in-person ones since, in my opinion, it is not fair to make friends just because I want to learn something from them. In addition, whenever I did so, all too often, those conversations were limited to a simple exchange of greetings.

After undergoing ten months with the Humphrey Program, I am quite sure that experience will help me grow dramatically as an English teacher, an air traffic controller, and as an individual, as well as will allow me to be a true professional in my career. After that experience, in five years, I can see myself as a highly qualified source of knowledge not only to new air traffic controllers, but also to being part of a team that is qualified to certify new English teachers in pursuit of their own certification. I can distinctly recall that all of my teachers, but especially those who have had training and experience abroad, typically served as outstanding role models.

They have been, and continue to be, exemplary career professionals for me. Simply put, in other words, I aspire to be as they were to me, to others. Therefore, with the knowledge gained from my participation, in five years, I have little doubt that the knowledge gained from this program will surely take my colleagues, my students, and myself to a higher level.*

Hi, Fabio. Good job! Whatever changes I have made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J. 

*Try to pay more attention to your punctuation, spelling, and parallelism. Increasing your vocabulary, and thus, word choices, will enable you to create better, more descriptive, more concise, sentences also.
