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.

I would like to stay with the English host family very much. It would make my dreams come true. In my opinion this is the best way to improve your speaking skills. Learning a language through total immersion gives the fastest and best results.

I think this is cool idea but i dont have such good opportunity. The best way to learn English is interacting with native people.

This is a problem for my family. I thought that I will get some new experiences when we do it. But this is big challenge for my family.

I had been in two different host family this year in the Uk. In my opinion, live in a host family is a good opportunity to improve the languages, know better the culture, and find new friends. In my first host family, the house wasn't good because was cold, dirty and tidy. For that reason, I lived there for only 10 days. However, the second one was amazing and the opposite of the first one. In this house I found an amazing environment and a great person to share all my experience. So I recommended once in life to live this experience.

It can be a nice idea, improve my English for example and get to know a new culture and new places. But actually, it does not really suit me.

Speaking of living in an another country, it is every kid's dream to visit United States whose culture being familiar to us through its marvelous movies. However, living with a host family is quite stressful to an introvert despite the affordable cost of living.
