Advantages of Homestay

Good afternoon, everyone.

As most of you already know me, my name is Teresa. Today, I’d like to speak about advantages of homestay. This talk will help you select residence in the USA. I divided my talk into three sections.
First, homestay gives you opportunities to speak English. Second, You can see what's American home culture like. Lastly, you can make many good foreign friends. I will use beam projector for your convenience. The presentation will take about 10 minutes. If you have any questions, please wait until the end.
Ok, Let’s start with the first topic. Homestay offers you many opportunities to speak English. Because you can't speak Korean with your host family. Thus, you have to speak only English or use body language. That is, you have more chances to face to face speaking English everyday. So eventually, you can overcome being shy about speaking to foreigners more easily.
Second, you can have many opportunities to experience American home culture. Do you think you can understand their culture by just hearing or seeing? Culture is related to life. So, if you are to understand their culture, you have to experience directly. Living with American family gives you chances to experience American lifestyle.
Lastly, you can make lots of good foreign friends. In the host house, there are various people from all parts of the world as well as you. Therefore, you can find out not only America but also their country too. It's quite nice advantage, isn't it?
Anyway these were advantages of homestay. I hope these informations could help your preparation for choosing your residence. And thank you for listening.
