Dear Laura,

Hello, Laura! Long time no see.

How are you doing?

You are always cheerful, powerful, and funny. That's why I like you! Thanks to you, I learned about many important things and I had a precious time during my stay. I think this great experience will give my life good influence in the future.

Now, I keep the most important thing you taught in my mind. That is “We can do it, I can do it.” I'm positive and active by nature, but I'm doing anything more actively than ever thanks to your words.

I actually think that you are like my best friend, and you make me happy. And you are my second mother in America. I want to see you again, so I am going to keep studying English hard and then I am going to go to America in the future!

I wish you good health.

See you soon.

Dear Karen, George, Emily, Kyle, Kim, and Greg,

Hello, my family in America! Long time no see.

How are you doing?

Thanks to you, I really had a precious time in America. Every one of you was always kind to me, so I was glad and I like you all very much.

I actually have many things I want to do with you. I would like to take part in volunteer work such as making sandwiches, I would also like to ride a ferry, and I would like to go for “Girl's day out.” Do you remember the story? We talked about going sightseeing to Canada someday. If it's possible (George's condition is well), would you like to go there with me? I don't know when we can make it, but I'm going to keep studying English to do it.

I wish you good health.

See you again.
