Dear Mr and Mrs Hurst,
How are you? Thank you very much for looking after me in the US. You made me feel like part of the family.
During my visit in the US, I enjoyed myself a lot. I made many new friends, went on some exciting trips and attended interesting parties. I also learned about American culture and festivals.
Since I returned to China, I have told my friends about my visit. At the same time, I miss my new friends, food, festivals and culture of America. I sincerely hope you can come and visit me in China some day.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Brad
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
How time flies! I hope you are well. Thank you for looking after me in China last year. You were so friendly that I felt like part of your family.
During my stay in China, I made great progress in my Chinese. I made a lot of new friends. I learnt a lot about Chinese culture and history. I also visited many places of interest, such as the Great Wall and the Palace Museum.
The most exciting thing was that I learnt how to make paper cuttings.
I have already shared my experiences with my friends. Now, I really miss the things I did in China. I would like to invite you and your family to come to England. And I’ll show you around our city.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Jack
