My Lovely Host-families

I must say I am a lucky dog that I have so many warm host-families.

My first host-family was in US. When I went to US for an exchange program in high school, I lived in their beautiful forest house in Connecticut. They gave me a warm welcome at that time by taking me to all the interesting places around their hometown and held a welcome party for me with all their cousins and friends coming. Though I only spent one week with them, we really had an amazing time together.

My second host-family was in Izmit, Kocaeli, Turkey, where I had my internship last summer. I never had contact with Muslims before. But I really lived an unforgettable life in their family. I can’t forget the amazing night we spent in their cottage facing Marmara Sea. But for the big tree in front of our cottage, we could have a complete bird-view of the whole Marmara Sea. All of a sudden I saw Uncle Osman straggled to the tree and began to cut it!! They did all their best to let me live happily there. Just like Uncle Osman said, I am his daughter in China.

Then I will talk about my lovely new host-family in York. Anne is an energetic lady who is so considerate and open-minded. I felt her warm-heart the first moment I stepped in my room. It’s a lovely pink room with a soft warm bed and toys everywhere. Though pink is not my favourite colour, I still feel like it. Because I felt I am not a young lady but a young girl who is well looked after. She is also open-minded which could help us to understand each other very well. We all went to Turkey, so we shared our experiences and talked about our views towards Turkey. I feel she is so kind and she understand me so well. And I believe I will surely have another happy experience with my third host-family.
