Dear Mrs. Johnson,
It is a pleasure to write this letter because it gives me an opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed my stay with your family last week. It was my first visit to an American family and, at first, _________________. When I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of welcome on your faces,
_________________. You and your wonderful family put me at ease right away.
There are many happy memories of the weekend, and I will keep them with me forever. Above all, 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 with Mr. Johnson and you and seeing the charming colors of the leaves on the trees. I liked playing baseball with your sons, Jimmy and Joey. ________________. Tell them I will teach them how to play soccer next time. I also had a good time at the city square dance on Saturday night. It was my first square dance, and I cannot forget how friendly and kind everyone around was.
I am back at school again 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 can only say "Thank you" and hope that someday you will visit my country and I can return your hospitality (款待).
Yours sincerely
Jack
