When people travel in another city or country, they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people.
This is called homestay. It is a great experience because you can meet people from a different country
or city and learn something new about that place. I am Wan Li from China. I came to the UK with my
friends for a short visit. we are living with an English couple, Mr. and Mrs.Green, in the west of London.
They have a wonderful four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden
with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.
There are some shopping centres and restaurants near the house, and the house is close to an under-
ground station. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the centre of London.
I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people
are friendly and willing to help. If you happen to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know
more about western culture and customs.
