Thank you for Zenaida.
I did a short stay of three days. On the first day, my host welcomed me even when my arrival was late at night. The room I used was a very comfortable room with a large bed, closet, work desk and air conditioning. I'm not very good at English, but my host was kind enough to speak English slowly. I also went shopping with my host and her son, and went out for a day and night with my host son and his friends. The host's son was very kind, friendly.
The experience of playing in Santa Monica with my host son and friends at night will be a memory of me for the rest of my life. The host was also very worried about my future trip. The host, her son, and his friends were all very kind people. The homestay's house is clean and very spacious. I think it won't be difficult to stay for a long time, and you can easily communicate with the host and their son and meet various people.
The last night served a pizza to the host. I am very happy to meet my host, my son and friends in my first time in America.
If you are considering a homestay in Los Angeles, I highly recommend it.私は3日間という短期間ホームステイをロサンゼルスでしました。初日の到着時間が真夜中なのにも関わらずホストは快く私を迎えてくれました。私が使用した部屋はとても広く、大きなベッドやクローゼット、作業用机、扇風機がおいてありとても快適でした。
私は英語があまり得意ではないのですがホストは英語をゆっくり話してくれるなどの配慮をしてくれ、とても助かりました。ホストと息子さんと一緒に買い物に出かけたりし、お昼にはハンバーガーをご馳走になりました。ホストの息子さんとその友達たちとサンタモニカで夜に遊んだことは私の一生の思い出になると思います。ホストも息子さんもその友人もみんなとても親切でフレンドリーでした。ホームステイ先の家はとても清潔で広いため、長期間の滞在も苦にならないと思います。また、ホストや息子さんと気軽にコミュニケーションが取れることや多くの人に出会うことができます。
最後の晩御飯にホストからピザをご馳走になりました。私の最初のアメリカ旅行で彼らに会えたことがとても幸せです。もし、ロサンゼルスでホームステイを考えているのならばとてもお勧めします！Host reply
Itsuna, thank you very much for your kind words. It is mine and my son's privilege to host you. I wish you the best in your endeavor specially your future travel. We found a friend for life in you. Good luck and may God bless you.
