Answer 1

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to request the valuable chance to be one of the homestay families for the American students.

My parents are in favor of my idea that I host an American student. We live in a beautiful community. Luckily, we have extra rooms for guests and therefore they can have private living space. Open-minded, enthusiastic and quite good at languages, I’m sure we can communicate well in English.

If an American student stays with us, I’ll be a good guide to some local places of interest, which are famous in our area. Besides, my parents and I will help her to make Chinese meals, such as jiaozi, noodles, and other foods.

We have the confidence to make the American student feel at home and have some sweet memories.

Looking forward to your reply.
