Question

 Every year,many foreign students go toAmericato study English. Some of them will live in an American family，but others will make a different decision. They’ll  live with friends who come from their own country. I believe that if a foreign student thinks carefully about the two ways,he’ll decide to live with an American family. Even though there are one or two disadvantages (不利之处)to the first way,there are far more advantages.

   In making his decision about how to live in the I USA,the foreign student is careful to think about one or  two disadvantages to live with an American family. First  of all，he must know that he’s going to feel homesick (想家的）at first. Living in an American family may make this feeling become stronger. Aslo,the American family  may do too much to take care of him. They may ask him where he’s going,when he leaves home,and when he’ll I return.  If a foreign student lives in an American home, he’ll know the country and its people much better. 

  For example,he’ll see how the parents teach their children. He’ll feel better because the American family will help him get used to a new life. In an American family,he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homework. When he speaks English,they can help him correct(改正）the mistakes he has made. In this way,he can learn English more easily.

  Although there are some disadvantages to live in an American family,there are more advantages.
