B2. Shirley wants to know what Amy is reading. She asks some questions. Help Amy answer the questions.

1 What is a homestay?

2 Where are Wan Li and other exchange students staying in London?

3 How long does it take to get to the centre of London?

4 What is good about homestays if I go abroad for the first time?

B1. Amy finds a blog about homestays from a student. Read it with her.

When people travel to another city or country,they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is called a homestay. It is great because you can meet people from a different city or country and learn something new about that place.

I am Wan Li from China. I came to the UK with other exchange students for a short visit. We are staying with an old English couple,Mr and Mrs Green,in west London. They have a wonderful old house. It has four bedrooms,two bathrooms and a beautiful garden. I have a bedroom of my own.

There are some shops and restaurants near the house,and the house is near a bus stop. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the centre of London. Usually Mrs Green does the housework. She washes the clothes and cooks meals for us. At the weekend,my friends and I cook Chinese food for tiicm sometimes. They think Chinese food is very delicious.

I think a homestay may be fit for you if it is your first time to go abroad. You will get to know more about the culture of another country.

A Wonderful houses 

A1. Amy is reading articles about houses in a magazine. Here are two of the articles.

My name is Will. I am a manager of a computer company. This is my house in Beijing. There are two living rooms,a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. My son has a big bedroom and he always invites his friends to stay with him at the weekend. My favourite place is the living room. I can sit on the sofa and watch TV there. I need this after a hard day's work!

I am Jack. I am a fashion designer. I have many houses around the world,but I like the one in California best. The house is on the beach. I can see the sea from the house. I often sit and relax on the balcony. I also play with my dog there. In the evening,I take my dog for a walk on the beach. The house has a large garden. There are hundreds of beautiful flowers in it. I have a dining room,but I often eat in the garden. I can smell the flowers and hear the birds there.
