  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.

I definitely do. I'd be thrilled to stay with an English native speaker family in Canada or England. I'm absolutely fascinated by those countries and staying with a host family would allow me to make the most of my visit, it would be an amazing way to get out of my comfort zone practising my English in the most effective way possible. Moreover, it would be a great opportunity to have contact with new people and discover a completely different culture from mine.

Yes!! I would like to stay with a host family in a new country. it will be great experience and opportunities to know about their culture. actually I did it once in Australia. I stayed with host mother and another student. I can't forget that time as it was my first time to live in a new country. they are nice and kind. and I have to speak English every time even if I couldn't speak or understand. It was good way to improve English and motivate me to study English.
