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 would like to stay with a host family in a new country. it will be great experience and opportunities to know about their culture.
actually I did it once in Australia. I stayed with host mother and another student. I can't forget that time as it was my first time to live in a new country. they are nice and kind. and I have to speak English every time even if I couldn't speak or understand. It was good way to improve English and motivate me to study English.

I would like to stay with a host family in new country. Because il's the best way to discover their culture, their cuisine and also to learn their language. So in my holidays, i prefer renting a room on the site Airbnb rather than booking a hotel . I pay a cheaper price and i feel at home. Elsewhere, on the other hand, i have many exchanges with hosts (language, culture, cuisine). Several years ago, i invited my 2 classmates of my Master to stay at my house in Vietnam. i think that they had lots of good experiences with us
