Dear Alissa,

Hello, Alissa. Long time no see. How are you doing? First, thank you for teaching us for three weeks. Those days were short, but very fun to me. You were always bright, kind, and friendly, so I liked you and your class! Thank you for teaching us a lot of things.

I was glad to spend a good time with you not only in class but also out of class. You took me to many places and we went to Seattle on a weekend. I have a lot of memories with you.

I always spent the best three weeks thanks to you. Those days are the treasure of my life. I 'm glad to meet you. I really appreciate your support.

I will go to America and I hope to see you again!

Dear the Calland Family,

Hello, Jason, Jonelle and Samantha! Long time no see. How are you doing?

First, thank you for accepting me to your family for three weeks. I was really looking forward to going to America after my host family was chosen, but I was worried about my English. However, you warmly welcomed me and you always helped me. You were very bright and fun. In addition, you taught me a lot of things and told me about various things. I learned the fun of speaking English thanks to you. I have a lot of memories with you. The three weeks that I spent in America went so fast and all the things have become my important treasure. I' m happy to meet my best host family that said, “Please come again whenever.”

Finally, I really appreciate your hospitality. I'm glad that you are my host family.

I will go to America and I hope to see you again!
