In the 1980s it became increasingly common for students to graduate from high school and take a year off to travel and experience the world. This year was often referred to as the ‘Big OE’ or ‘Big Overseas Experience.’ A number of kiwis headed to places like Australia and England to live and work before returning to New Zealand to finish their studies.
Imagine that you are a student in the 1980s and you’re about to graduate from high school. Where would you like to go on your big OE? On your blog tell us which country you would visit and give us three (3) reasons for your choice. Find some pictures on the internet of things that you would like to see and do in this country.
I’d love to go to Switzerland and spend lots of time in the mountains, learning how to ski!
I would like to go to America because I want to explore America and because I would like to go to Disneyland and because My favorite game is taken place in America.
Kia Ora again Diego,
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us where you would like to go for your big 'OE'— America is a pretty good choice; there's definitely plenty of room to explore and LOTS to do. What is your favourite game?
Cheers,
Jordan.
