     In Europe,many people make friends across the borders through town twinning. Two towns in different countries decide to become twin towns.

    Their citizens find penfriends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the town,too,but not very often if it is far away.

   Sometimes,schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks. For example,German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain,staying with British families. A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.

   Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups,choirs and orchestras (管弦樂隊(duì)). Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town,and show photos and slides.

Some towns organise exhibitions to show works of art,for example paintings by artists from their own town.

Many British towns are so pleased with the result of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town.

    Tonbridge,a medium-sized town in Kent,for example,has twin towns in Germany and in France. Richmond near London has links with Germany,France and a town in former Yugoslavia.

     Town twinning can help make friends and help people to learn from each other. It helps students to improve their language skills,and it contributes to international peace and understanding.
