Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Headmaster:

I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families of the England students.

We have a large and clean house, which lies in a beautiful community in Meishan. What’s more, I am good at English and my parents are both English teachers. So I am sure I have no difficulty in communicating with our guests. In addition, last week, we hosted two guests from New Zealand. We had great fun with each other and I got much experience as well during their stay. I will show them around the places of interest in Meishan. They will surely be fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Meishan. Besides, my mother cooks well, so they can have a taste of local food. I am sure they will have a good time here.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Maomao
