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 think it would be a great adventure to stay with a host family in a new country. I feel it would help me improve my English skills. I would like to visit Canada, so this would be the place I'd go.

As I said in one comment to the earlier article I wouldn't live with neighbours and, especially, with a host family, because I feel myself as a debtor, I don't like it

Would you like to stay with a host family in a new country?
Yes, I would like to stay with a host family when I visit a new country. Because a host family can give me chances to communicate and practice the language that they speak, maybe English. More important, I can have new friends.
