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.

If I have chance to go to a new city, I want to live with host family. I think every country will have a culture different. It is dificult to understand alone. If there is someone show you how to do so you can do easily more.

I'm a very shy person so it would be a bit awkward at first but I still would love to have that experience. To meet new people from a different culture and practise english with locals. I think it's a great way to learn the real language.

I would love to stay with a host family in a new country. I never have chance to try this experience but I believe that it will be great when we immerse ourselves in new cultures, new language and have a strongger relationship with people.
