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.

It is a good opportunity to see and understand other cultures. So, I would definitely stay with them and I will do the same when any or all of them visit my country.

I would not like to stay with a host family in a new country, because I'm worried of meeting up with people with habits too much different from mine; this could make difficult the living together.

I really like to stay with a host family in a new country. I've never did it and I don't know how I could find a host family.

Hi Mrs Smith, I would like to say thank you for having me in your house. I had a fantastic time meeting you and your family during my fifteen-day trip to Britain. I am quite happy because recently I was told that my speaking has improved a lot since my trip. And I am delighted to say that It would not be possible without all your kindness and patience towards me. Furthermore, I wanted to say that I really enjoyed all the food that you had prepared.. it was quite tasteful and mouthwatering! I am looking forward to visiting you next year! Please keep in touch! Matthew Yes!, I absolutely would like to stay with a host family in another country since It would open up a totally new culture, city, and language to me. Moreover It would allow me to improve my language skills much more faster.

If I could have an ensuite room I'd like to stay at a host family. Otherwise I prefer to stay at a hotel and visit my host family around the day.
