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.

Yes, I would like to stay with a host family in a new country. I can learn not only language but also culture. I think it is cheap to stay with a host family rather than stay at hostel.

Yes, I would like to stay with a host family in a new country. But I have no friends from another country. If I have like this friend, I want to visit and learn their languages.

In my opinion, to stay with a host family is a better idea if you want to learn quickly not only English but also their culture and traditions. In addition, it is often cheaper than stay in college accommodation.

Yeah.I would.It would be helpful to us cuz we can save our money if not we have to rent an apartment and think too much where should I stay like that.

I would like to stay with host family in a new country ,especially in the beginning. Becuz I wouldn't know the country , so l need someone to guide me and clarify the things to me . I think the beginning is always difficult that why help wouldn't be harm .
In addition to that it's better to read about the country you wanna visit so you will be accustomed to the stuff .

I would like to live with a host family when I come and study in the uk because I would have a warm_ atmosphere and could learn better about the culture and tradition, their family living style than living alone.
