Thank you!!
Hi Carolina,
I just wanted to write and say thank you for everything.
You and your family were amazing hosts. I had a great time at your house. Thank you for making me feel at home. I'm sure my English improved a lot because of all your help too! Also, thank you for all the wonderful cooking you did. Now I can tell everyone English food is not as bad as they say .
If you ever come to Sri Lanka, I hope you will stay with me and I can show you my city too.
Keep in touch!.
Pradeep
Tips
- Start with Hi if it is an informal email to someone you know.
- The email can have three main paragraphs:
- the reason for writing (= to say thank you)
- the main point (= more details or examples)
- a wish or offer for the future.
- Use emojis (e.g.
) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking. - You can say See you soon / See you next year if you hope to meet again.
- Use a closing phrase like Keep in touch, Write soon, Speak soon or Take care.
) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking.Discussion

Hi hamby
I just wanted to write and say thank you for having me a great vacation in your beautiful house. I really appreciate your attitude with a stranger guess who you don't know. As you know, I lose my baggage in airport and I feel very nervous because this is the first time I come to Brazil. Luckily, I met you and you invited me stay at your house. It's a very nice house with fresh air, sunny and many flowers. I feel really comfort here.
Take care

Hello Sova,
Just want to say thank you for having me at your lovely house last weekend.
It really was a very enjoyable time visiting London with you. Thank you for the wonderful arrangement. I also enjoyed so much talking with overnight and I love the dishes you had made. It was the best English dishes I had ever tied.
Thanks again. Tell you if you want to make a visit to Paris. Keep in touch!
Cheers,
Helena

Definitely yes, I'd like to stay in a host family if I study abroad. Though I have never been staying in a host family, I am sure it would be a great help on all sides if I start a new journey in a new country. It would be a wonderful time to experience the culture and custom. And it would be easier for me to study the local language and learn how to get along with local people.

I want to stay with a host family. It'll be a new experience for me. I'll discover their traditions and habits, and make new friendships.
