Topic: some intensive English Programs
in the United States offer a foreign Student the
option of living with an American family while
he or she is studying abroad. Many students feel
that such a home-stay program is a valuable part
of their totle learning experience. however, others
may feel that such a plan offers little value.
in a short essay, discuss one or two advantages
of living with an American family and then state
one or two diadvantages. Tell whether youare in
favor of or opposed to the idea of home-stay.
give examples to support your opinion.
Every year, many foreign students
go to America to study English. Some of this(them)
will participate in a home-stay program and live
with an American family. However, others will
take(make) a different decision. They will live
with friends from their own country. I believe
that if a foreign student looks at both possibilities,
he will decided to live with an American family.
Even though there are one or two backwards to
home-stay way(opinion), there are far more benefits.
In taking(making) his decision about
how to live in the United States, the foreign
student is smart(wise) to consider one or two
disadvantages to live with an American family.
First of all, he must realise that he is going
to feel homesick at first. Living in an American
home with people of other(another) language and
culture may cause this feeling to increase. Also
the American family could become very protective
of him. They may ask him where he is going when
he leaves home and when he will return. Despite
these two disadvanges, there is a stronger idea(argument)
in favor of living with Americans.
By living in an american(American)
home, the student has (has an)opportunity to become
familiar with American customs and culture. For
instance, he will learn how improtant the(the
importance of) family closeness is(closeness).
He can see how the children communicate with their
parents and how the parents educate their children.
He will not feel like a stranger because the American
family will help him adjusting(adjust) to a new
life.
Inan American home, he can learn
English fast. Family members can help him with
his homeworks(homework). When he speaks English,
they can point(point out)his errors. In this way,
he can learn English naturally.
Although there are some disadvantage(disadvantages)
to live in an American family, there are heavier(greater)
benefits. If the foreign student at first realises
the value of learning about a new culture and
improving his English at the same time, he will
definitely choose to experience a home-stay in
the United States. With an American family, he
will find studying there a very big(rewarding)experience.
