Town Twinning

  How are Oxford in the UK and Grenoble in France similar?Well,they are both medium-sized towns of between 100,000 and 200,000 inhabitants.They both have universities and industries.Tourism is important to both of them,and they are both close to some of the most beautiful countryside in the region.But they share something else,they have a town twinning agreement.

  Town twinning is not a new idea,but it has become more popular in recent years because it＇s now easier to find out about and visit other countries and towns.It＇s an agreement between towns or cities of similar size and age,and which have similar features such as tourism,industry,culture and entertainment.

  Town twinning agreements encourage people from the two towns to visit each other.There are visits and exchanges between schools,theater groups and sports teams.Visitors from the foreign town usually stay in the private homes of the town they are visiting.There id usually a big party for the visitors.

  Town twinning agreements are perhaps most useful for students and people who want to practice speaking another language.This is because living with a foreign family for one or two weeks means that you have to speak their language,and a result you improve fast.
