It was my first visit to an American family and, at first, I was very anxious about my limited English and my knowledge of American customs. Then I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of wele and your wonderful family put me at ease right away. Reference Model There are many happy memories of the weekend that I will keep with me forever. I will remember that you made me feel at home. There were so many new and different things for me to see and do. I particularly enjoyed driving through the countryside and seeing the charming colors of the leaves on the trees. I liked playing baseball with your lovely son and daughter, Chain and Linda. They were patient with me and full of fun. Tell them I will teach them how to play soccer next time. Reference Model I also had a good time at the munity square dance on Saturday night. It was my first square dance, and I cannot fet how friendly and kind everyone around was. I am back at school now and I am very happy because I know now a real American family and it is one of the nicest families I have ever met. Because my English is still not very good, I cannot express my feelings better. I can only say thank you and hope that someday you will visit my country and I can return your hospitality.
