Writing for the online newspaper for class?
Here is the first assignment that I wrote for my public relations class. My teacher works for a newspaper and is requiring us (there are 6 of us in the class) to write for the website. In addition, we can write for the Florentinian newspaper that is printed in English across the city. He said we could have free press passes if we wanted to report on specific events. I think I will try to write for the paper some and I think I will learn a lot about writing for the web this semester.
Money and Travel
FLORENCE, ITALY-American students studying abroad in Florence have plans other than wild parties in mind while overseas.
A majority of students plan to travel abroad and are spending record amounts of money getting to their destinations. Baylor University senior Zena Habal from Texas says that traveling while abroad is expensive, but well worth the expenditure.
“I spent 60 euros traveling to Milan and Venice on trains alone, but my parents and friends agree that it is worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Habal said.
According to a July 2005 poll done by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, travel in Europe is becoming more expensive.
The price of European private services alone has risen from $228 million in 2003 to $263 million in 2004. The cost of travel has risen from $44.7 million in 2003 to $54.2 million in 2004, showing a drastic 10 percent increase.
Italy is among the countries experriencing this increase the least, which is good news for students studying abroad this fall in Florence. Italy only imported $5.5 million from America in 2004 and exported $5.8 million. France had the least income with $2.5 million and Germany had the most at $18.3 million.
Italy may have one of the lowest expenditure rates of travelers abroad, but students studying abroad are still watching their euros.
According to a student-led poll, the most popular place visited in Cinque Terra, an hour train ride outside of Florence. The furthest place visited by the poll is Munich for the annual Oktoberfest.
No matter how much students plan to travel, money is a constant factor for students studying abroad in Florence this term as Habal pointed out.
“There is too much to see, too little time and not enough money to do anything about it.”
