Tips

  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.

I’d prefer to stay with a host family but not overnight. I’d have lunch, spend my day with the family then I’d leave before dinner and sleep in a hotel. After having me for whole day, they need to have a private family time.
