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

Hi Mutsumi,
I'm writing this email to say thank you for everything you have done to help me during the time I was working at the restaurant.
I really appreciated when you tried to find a rent room for me, talked to me when I had problems with some of the guys in the kitchen, and always ready to hang out with me on your days off. Thanks to you, I felt less lonely in this city.
Although we may not see each other as often as we used to, please stay in tough. I might come back to Auckland soon.
See you soon!

good lesson.
I think that it is always a great opportunity to be hosted by a family in another country, because they know the area well and can help show everything it has to offer.
I like my country to have all familly and to give a wisdome
It is good the lesson
Would you like to stay with a host family in a new country?
I have tried staying with a host family in a new country twice. One experience was very good, while the other was quite bad. Both of them were in Sri Lanka, so I don't think it depends on the country as much as it depends on the family you stay with.
Overall, it was a good experience. Staying with a host family gives you the chance to learn about the local culture, practice the language, and experience daily life in a way that is difficult to do when staying in a hotel.
Yeah I would like , but I dont have any familiar that live in another country.

Good lesson thank it
