  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.

Yes, I would like to stay with a new family as a host in the near future when I am going to travel an English country because it will be a great opportunity to understand a new culture very closely as well as get a chance to taste there home made foods. Also to increase language skills in a family environment.

From: Anna To: Michael Subject: Thank you! Hi, Michael! I just called... to say... I love you.. I'm joking)) I wanna say thank you for your kindness. Thank you for taking me away from that dirty street to your house, feeding me and looking after me, when I was trying to fight heroin addiction. I survived because of you! If you ever take drugs, I'll save your life too! Reach out and touch faith! Bye! Anna

Yes, of course! Although I am afraid of new people , I still love knowing of different cultures. I can also improve my English skills by practising with them. So I think it's a great way to learn English.
