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.

Of course no, I don't.
I'm an introvert. But I agree that is a good idea to stay with family for language practice.

It's a new question and I'm excited. I haven't go away yet but I think it's good to stay in with a host family in a new country. It should be funny because he/she'll teach me his/her country's culture or unless they do, i'll ask them. Also, in my imagination, leaving in new country or travel in that place for a short time should be ideal. I can improve my English and meet a lot of friends and visitors. Yes, it's right when the first friend i'll run into is the host family. in conclusion, i think it's a sensible case when you fisrt stay in with a host family in a new country!

Sure! I would like to stay with host family in a new country. In my opinion it's the best option when you study a new language. It's not only English lessons, it's something more. You have a good opportunity to learn a culture, history and tradition from your new mentors. As a bonus you have a opportunity to build a strong relationships with this people and stay in touch for many years.

Of course, staying with a native family in another country would be a great opportunity to learn their language as well as get to know their culture. It is the fastest and the most effective way to learn English too.

Of course, I really like to stay with a host family in a new country. What could be better than having a cozy home to live in when you are in a strange place? It's also a best opportunity to experience a new culture and their lifestyle, and I will share with them about mine too. One thing that cannot be omitted is a country's cuisine. I'm obsessed with food.

I would like to stay with host family. Perhaps, they would guide us to explore many places. Especially, I won’t miss important scenic places. In return I will provide them a stay when they come to my place.
