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.

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.

I'd like to enjoy some time with another family in another country. Learn from them and know their traditions. At the same time, I could share my opinions and hobbies with them.

I like to trip and to know other places and cultures, so I get happy when staying with a host family in a new country. If I will go to trip when I came back, I will write a thank you email for my new friends keep in touch always.
