Studying or working in a foreign country is an exciting experience. However, before starting such an experience, you should decide where to live. Will you share an apartment with others? Or will you live with a host family? For me, living with a French family is the best choice(选择) I made, and here is why.
Firstly, a host family can show you around the city, help you get used to the new life and stop you from feeling lonely. My host family were friendly. They showed me which bus to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me so we could eat together, and took me with them on trips to the beach.
What's more, living with a host family helps you improve your foreign language. My host family were happy to answer my questions and give me advice about learning French.
Finally, the experience of living abroad(在国外) is one that you will remember forever. Your host family might become your friends for life. I will keep in touch with(与……保持联系) my host family after I leave France. I might go back for their birthdays, weddings(婚礼), and much more. That's because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.
