Answer 1

【答案】Dear Mr Li,

I am very glad to be a guest of your family. Thank you for accepting me.

As an exchange student, I am eager to know more about your country’s culture. And I think the best way to achieve the purpose is to stay with your family and communicate with you. That’s why I choose homestay. Moreover, I love Chinese dishes, which play an important part in Chinese culture. Also, homestay will give me more chances to make Chinese friends.

I will be in your home next month. Can you prepare me a separate room? And can I have breakfast or supper with your family members from Monday to Friday?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

Yours sincerely

Jim
