Dear Laura,

Hello, Laura! How are you doing? I hope you are well.

When we visited America, it was my first time staying in a foreign country. I was very nervous, but you were so kind and funny, and your smile made me happy. Thank you for teaching us many things. I have learned a lot from your class such as American culture, how to communicate with our host family and so on. Your class was very fun and I loved it. I really enjoyed bowling with you too. I want to bowl with you again. You are the best teacher guide for us!

Thank you for your guidance and support! I will remember you forever. Thank you so much! Don't forget me, please. I'm looking forward to meeting you again!

Dear the Frederick family,

Hello, Alissa, Ralph, Remi and Genie! How are you doing? I hope you are well.

Thank you for accepting me at your house for three weeks. Twenty days passed so quickly. Thank you for taking care of me during my stay. I couldn't speak English well, but you welcomed me warmly. I had a lot of things I wanted to tell and talk with you, but I could not put them in words well. I really should have studied English more in Japan, but you talked slowly using a dictionary for me to understand.

The things I did with you, such as visiting Seattle and various toursit attractions, are very unforgettable for me. I appreciate what you have done for me. I spent a wonderful time in America.

Thanks to you, I made a lot of good memories. I experienced many things that I can not in Japan.

Thank you for everything you did for me. I will never forget you. I'm glad that I met you. Thank you so much!
