Dear Sir,
I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host family for the British students. Locating in a beautiful and quite neighborhood, our large and fully-equipped apartment meets all their needs. Apart from the convenient public transportation, our own car can also take him to some nearby places of interest. With fluently English and an outgoing personality, I’m sure I will have no difficulty communicate with them. Above all, we were hosted two British students last year, through that we’ve gained lots of experience. In addition, my mother’s expert cooking can guarantee them the wonderful chance of tasting delicious Chinese food.
I would greatly appreciate if I could have the chance to host them and make friends with them. Looking forward of your reply.

Often there is just 7.(silent). Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested people saying “Ahoy”, but finally “Hello” went out, the greeting 8.(use) in everyday face-to-face communications now.
Try to be respectful no matter who you communicate 9.. Just keep it in mind that10.(polite) never goes out of fashion.
