“Home stay is a form of study--abroad program. 36 . I helps to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability. If you wish to learn more about foreign experience, you should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed”, said a teacher during a school meeting last term.
After this meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. At last, I had such a chance to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates last month. We went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago. 37 ,we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. 38 . They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from then on.
39 . After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight—seeing trip to different places of interest like Big Ben, London Bridge, and Beckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
