Tips

  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.

Would you like to stay with a host family in a new country?
Yes, I would like to stay with a host family when I visit a new country. Because a host family can give me chances to communicate and practice the language that they speak, maybe English. More important, I can have new friends.

Yeah, I would like to stay with a host family in a foreign country. Since I want to visit different countries. Especially, I wonder about Norway, Canada, and Israel. They have various cultures. I love cold weather, and Norway and Canada's climates fit me. If I move or visit these countries, I will meet different people, and see stunning places. There is a diversity of food in these countries so that I can taste them.

Let's talk about a host family. I think that it could be great because I love the harmony of a family. Staying with a family in a foreign country leads to using English with ease as I have to connect a communicate rapidly. I can't be silent, I have to participate in movement with people. As a result, of course, it could be a pleasure for me. Maybe one day!

It's exciting to even imagine that. The easiest way to learn new culture and meet new friends is to stay with a host family. According to me that makes me a more social person.

Yes, I have. This is one of my biggest dreams. I've heard about the host family so many times, and I'm interested in living with them for a while. I think it would be a good experience.

Actually Yes, I would love to do so. I have been always dreaming of volunteering to work in the countryside of Switzerland, staying with a host family, and experiencing their daily life in such scenic areas. Additionally, I an fond of French language, so I am learning it, and as far as I know, it is one of the four official languages in Switzerland. Thus, I believe that it will be a good chance to boost my French.

I'd love to stay with a host family in a new country. That way, I wouldn't feel lonely. I prefer to be in a familiar warm environment rather than being on my own.
