Homestay means lving with a family, or "host family" as we say.There are three ways of doing it:
Choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location; Have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualfied teacher; Select not to have classes at all when you visit- a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置) organizations think about locatinterests,anguage lveleating requirements alrgies过敏)and other requests you may have.
Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.

Every year, many foreign students go to America to study
English. Some of them will participate in a homestay program
and live with an American family. However, others will take a S1.______
different decision. They will live with friends from their own
country. I believe that if a foreign student looks at both possibilities,
he will decide to live with an American family. Even though
there are one or two drawbacks to the homestay way, there are far S2.______
more benefits.
In making his decision about how to live in the United
States, the foreign student is smart to consider one or two S3.______
disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must
realize that he is going to feel homesick at first. Living in an
American home with people of other language and culture may S4.______
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 of
these two disadvantages, there is a stronger argument in favor of S5.______
living with Americans.
By living in an American home, the student has an opportunity
to become familiar with American customs and culture. For
instance, he will learn the importance of family 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 to a new S6.______
life. In an American home, he can learn English fast. Family
members can help him with his homeworks. When he speaks S7.______
English, they can point out his errors. In this way, he can learn
English naturally.
Although there are some disadvantage to live with an American S8.______
family, there are heavier benefits. If the foreign student at S9.______
first realizes the value of learning about a new culture and improving
his English at the same time, he will find studying there a
very big experience. S10.______
