Question

【题目】If you want to study abroad, have you thought about where to live? I’ve been living and studying in Canada for about nine months. As I’m still too young to rent an apartment by myself. I live with a homestay family and I feel like I’m part of it.

The first time I had a homestay was in 2013. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in Canada, for a week and lived with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and his niece-in-law. Carlton drove me to an international school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our leisure time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. All experiences left an unforgettable impression on me, even if I didn’t live there for a long time.

I’m now living with a Hungarian(匈牙利) family with another Chinese boy. There are two family members--- Mrs Perger and her son, Robert. I’ve already lived here for nine months and I have been deeply moved by many things they’ve done. Once, my roommate went running and didn’t come back for quite a long time. Mrs Perger called him, but he didn’t answer the phone. She began to worry about him, and was even about to cry.

However, living with a homestay family also has its disadvantages, especially when living with a foreign family. The biggest challenge for me has been the totally different lifestyle, which took me a long time to get used to.

Living with a homestay family has given me a lot of new experiences. It has taught me how to communicate with different people. Moreover, when different lifestyles and cultures meet together, I have seen that the spark(火花) they make are spectacular(壮观的).

A. Careful and caring. B. Outgoing and brave.

C. Strict and challenging. D. Outgoing and humorous.
