Many Chinese students studying abroad (出国留学) like to stay with host families (寄宿家庭) to learn their 1 36       and culture. These days,many Shanghai workers have received Englishspeaking international students as their host f 37       ,too,in order to learn English from them.

It is usually f 38       for a foreign student to stay in a host family in Shanghai,but he or she has to teach English to at least some members of the family. Miss Li has always w 39      about her poor English. " I never knew what to say to an Englishspeaking person," said she. She has taken a number of English courses,but none seemed to be useful. Last year,she saw an advertisement a 40       for host families for foreign students,and that was how Carey came to her home. She stays in Li's apartment for free,but has to teach Li s 41       English for 1  hour every day. " She could hardly speak Chinese at the b 42       ,and we had to guess what each other meant through gestures (手势) ”,said Ii.

Two months 1 43      ,they could talk to each other. Now,Li can c 44       with any Englishspeaking person. About one hundred Shanghai families have received foreign boarding s 45       ,and the number is rising (上升) .However,foreign boarding students can only help improved spoken English,but not examination skills.
