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.
) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking.Discussion

Yes, I do.
it‘s a new and great question. I wish to live in UK.
It's a new question and I'm excited. I haven't go away yet but I think it's good to stay in with a host family in a new country. It should be funny because he/she'll teach me his/her country's culture or unless they do, i'll ask them. Also, in my imagination, leaving in new country or travel in that place for a short time should be ideal. I can improve my English and meet a lot of friends and visitors. Yes, it's right when the first friend i'll run into is the host family. in conclusion, i think it's a sensible case when you fisrt stay in with a host family in a new country!
Sure! I would like to stay with host family in a new country. In my opinion it's the best option when you study a new language. It's not only English lessons, it's something more. You have a good opportunity to learn a culture, history and tradition from your new mentors. As a bonus you have a opportunity to build a strong relationships with this people and stay in touch for many years.
i would like to stay with host family especially in england to improve my english that is very good way to speed learn english.
Of course, staying with a native family in another country would be a great opportunity to learn their language as well as get to know their culture. It is the fastest and the most effective way to learn English too.
Of course, I really like to stay with a host family in a new country. What could be better than having a cozy home to live in when you are in a strange place? It's also a best opportunity to experience a new culture and their lifestyle, and I will share with them about mine too. One thing that cannot be omitted is a country's cuisine. I'm obsessed with food.
I would like to stay with host family. Perhaps, they would guide us to explore many places. Especially, I won’t miss important scenic places. In return I will provide them a stay when they come to my place.
Hi Noura,
I'm writing this email to tell you that I had a great time at your house last weekend and thank you for everything.
I had an amazing time with your family , they made me feel like I'm at home. The food was th most delicious food I've ever had.
Actually, this is my first time being at village and see outstanding nature.
I hope I can see you again next year maybe this time at my home and make a new beautiful memories.
Take care!
Yara
Yes I would like to stay with a host family in a new country.
In the past, I would have liked to stay with a host family, but now that I'm older, I think I can stay by myself and explore another country.
