Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two months. I visited places of   1   in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The homestay(寄宿家庭) parents and brothers were very    2   to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.

My homestay mother held me in her arms and comforted me. What a kind foreign mother I had!
