    • a wish or offer for the future.

It's exciting to even imagine that. The easiest way to learn new culture and meet new friends is to stay with a host family. According to me that makes me a more social person.

I would love to stay with a host family in a foreign country. It will be a very unique experience. I imagine I will have more chances to get immersed in their culture and meet local people.

Yes, I have. This is one of my biggest dreams. I've heard about the host family so many times, and I'm interested in living with them for a while. I think it would be a good experience.

Actually Yes, I would love to do so. I have been always dreaming of volunteering to work in the countryside of Switzerland, staying with a host family, and experiencing their daily life in such scenic areas. Additionally, I an fond of French language, so I am learning it, and as far as I know, it is one of the four official languages in Switzerland. Thus, I believe that it will be a good chance to boost my French.

I'd love to stay with a host family in a new country. That way, I wouldn't feel lonely. I prefer to be in a familiar warm environment rather than being on my own.

Of course, it would be a great opportunity to learn a new culture, as well as the chance to talk with people from all around the world. I think this is an experience, that will definitely improve my Enlish. It is also an opportunity to taste new types of cusine.

Dear Alis,

I just wanted to write and say thank you for everything.

You and your friend were amazing hosts. I had a great time at your school. Thank you for making me feel at the place. I'm sure my English improved a lot because of all your help too!. Also, thank you for the wonderful picnic with everyone.

If you ever come to Vietnam, I hope you will stay with me and I can show you my city too.

Speak soon

Lucky,
