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

Yes, I want to stay with host family in another country to improve my speaking skill. I'd love living with host family because I've lived in the hostel when I was university student.
I take in any opportunity that appears, so I´d love to stay with a host family. But everything has pros and cons. I could improve my english and lose my fear of speaking, but it´s dangerous. I wouldn´t know the hosts very much. Also, i like to have my privacy and my freedom.
It would be a pleasure for me to stay with a host family in an English-speaking country. That would help me improve my English listening and speaking skills. It would be an amazing experience and a great opportunity to know about the culture, traditions and life style of the new country, as well.
Yes, of course, because I should learn the new country language and cultures and that is could be learning from the country's people

Hi Britsh Council,
I comment to say thank you and just practice for what I learned in this lesson.
You do a very important work to help people with their English and I really appreciate it. I hope to learn more here. Thank you for this opportunity.
Keep in touch,

I always wanted to live in a foreign country but the expenditure on living is very expensive that's why ı never tried to live in another country. To stay with a host family in a new country is a cheaper way to stay there that's why ı want to stay with a host family. Another advantage is learning the native culture and language.
