My home is only 15 minutes' walk from our school, so the exchange student can walk to school easily every day. We live in a warm three-bedroom house with a big balcony. There are lots of green plants and lovely potted flowers on the balcony, and we can sit there to enjoy the breeze and chat after dinner.
There are three people in my family, my parents and me. My mother is very kind and patient, she is good at cooking different kinds of delicious Chinese food. My father is outgoing and humorous, he knows a lot about Chinese history and he can take the exchange student to visit the nearby city museum at weekends.
We all learn a little about British daily life and we are really looking forward to welcoming the exchange student to our home. We will try our best to make him feel at home during the one-month stay.
