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.

Hello Mahfuzur Rahman

Yes, the sixth and last question in Task 1 is false. When I complete the exercise, it shows the correct answer as false. Do you see something different?

All the best

Hello langkhach,

Yes, it's certainly possible to use that phrase. It sounds perfectly normal to me.

Hello I think living with host family is best way to leran foreign language and new culture. It can be enjoyable if you 're personality is extrovert but can be hard for introvert person. Anyway It's good experience for evryone.

Hi Michael! I just want to say thank you for a couple of weeks in your house. I had a great time at your house. You showed me many interesting things in your country. Your mother's chicken sandwich is the best delicious dishes I have ever eaten. Thank for your help, my English is better now. If you ever go to my country - Vietnam, I will stay with you. I will take you to walk on the shaded and quiet street. I will cook many delicious dishes for you :). Take care! See you later! Huyen

Not at all. I prefer to go a hotel in a new country and make a nuisance of myself.

Yes, I would love to stay with a host family in a new country. For me it will be a new experience for me. They will not only just help me to know about new culture and food but also make me feel like home in that country.
