  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 love to stay with a host family in a new country. I never have chance to try this experience but I believe that it will be great when we immerse ourselves in new cultures, new language and have a strongger relationship with people.

To be honest, I don't like stay with a host family in a new country. Because, I don't like interacting with many strangers. More over, I am afraid to disturbing their families. If I only stay with acquaintance online, I will invite her come to dinner with me or give her a gift . But with her family, I can't. Besides, when I stay at hotel, I will be servered by hotel and I can come to every where in every time I want.
