Dear Laura

Hi, Laura! Long time no see. How are you doing?

I really enjoyed the homestay. Thank you for finding a good host family for me. I had wonderful days with them. Thank you for arranging everything for us too. I enjoyed your classes and sightseeing in Seattle.

I learned the motto “I can do it!”from you. I am always encouraged by these words. They make me strong.

I am looking forward to meeting you again!

Dear

the Hoffman Family

Hi, Dad, Mom, Tiara, Joseph, Maymay, Elijah, Tallon and Bella! How's it going?

Thank you for hosting me for three weeks. I had a wonderful time with you.

Thank you for cooking deliciuos meals for me. I really enjoyed your meals. Thank you for taking me to many places too. I enjoyed camping very much. It was a very good memory for me. I was also glad to go to the aquarium with the whole family.

I would like to go back to Seattle and see you again. I want to talk with you fluently, so I will study English harder.

Thank you for caring about me for three weeks. I appreciate your kindness.

See you again!
