Reading text

Tips

  1. Start with Hi if it is an informal email to someone you know.
  2. 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.
  3. Use emojis (e.g. smiley) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking.
  4. You can say See you soon / See you next year if you hope to meet again.
  5. Use a closing phrase like Keep in touch, Write soon, Speak soon or Take care.

Yes, I would like to stay with a host family for a while if I travel to another country. That will help me to understand their culture beside improve my language.

In task 1 last question answer is false according to your guideline, I think. Would you check it again.

Hello Mahfuzur Rahman

Yes, the sixth and last question in Task 1 is false. When I complete the exercise, it shows the correct answer as false. Do you see something different?

All the best

Hello langkhach,

Yes, it's certainly possible to use that phrase. It sounds perfectly normal to me.

Hello I think living with host family is best way to leran foreign language and new culture. It can be enjoyable if you 're personality is extrovert but can be hard for introvert person. Anyway It's good experience for evryone.
