Activity 2: The Big ‘OE’
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.

MΕrena Siyona,
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us where you'd like to spend your big 'OE'— I'm pleased to see that you'd like to spend your well-deserved time in the city of love, Paris.
I would also love to try their food. I have done so as my friend's are French, but I think it's a slightly different experience trying the food in the place from where it originated.
When you say that you'd like to listen to their famous music, what exactly are you talking about?
I look forward to your reply,
Cheers,
Jordan.
