  Wheen I was selected to be part of this student
  exchan nge programm me I was so worried abou ut leaving
  my cou untry and com ming to the Un nited States by
b myself,
  but my y host family took
t care of my
m worries rig ght away.
5  They y were all waaiting for me at the airport: my host
  parentss, my host sisster and my ho ost brother. They
T were
  so nicee and friendly and greeted me with big b smiles
  when I arrived. On the t first night,, they made a delicious
  dinner for me and I enjoyed
e our conversations
c very much.
10  At fiirst I was hom w a bit difficult to get useed to their cullture but I quickly adapted and
mesick and it was
  learnedd more about them and abo out American life because tthey liked to ttalk a lot. I knnow that listenning
  m and talking with them helped my Engllish skills a loot. One of my favourite memories about my
to them
  host faamily is that th
hey always treeated me like one of their cchildren. I gott to travel andd go on vacatiions
  with thhem throughou ut California, so I felt very
y lucky. My hhost family waas also happyy to help me w with
15  questioons about my school work. My parents in i China are tthankful to myy American hhost family, annd I
  am too o. I really reco
ommend all in nternational sttudents to livee with a host family when they come to the
