2662．Each year，thousands of US families open their homes and hearts to student visitors from all over the world.In a homestay，students can observe，learn and experience a new lifestyle and culture，while practising English skills in a home environment.Successful homestay experiences can help to ease homesickness and make a smooth transition into an American university.
   Homestay hosts involve their student guests in day- to- day family activities and also include them in social gatherings such as summertime barbecues，holiday celebrations，or trips to local attractions.They reflect the diversity of the region in which they live.They may be single parents，retired couples or families with young children from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.What they have in common is a desire to share their homes and their time with international students.
   Living in a homestay will always require an adjustment period.There may be simple house rules or guidelines about Internet usage，laundry，television viewing，meal times，cleanliness，and money matters.Similarly，universities that offer homestay programs set certain standards for hosts.For example，at the University of Delaware，all hosts living more than one mile from campus must provide students with transportation to and from campus every weekday.Hosts must also provide each student with a private，furnished room and access to a shared or private bathroom.
   The homestay coordinators carefully screen host applicants to make sure they have a passion for hospitality and an interest in other cultures.Coordinators will also interview and visit applicants to determine the suitability of the living space and meet the family members.Regular meetings，phone calls，and emails keep the hosts up to date in order to maintain high standards of operation within the homestays.
   If you choose to live in a homestay，your hosts will be interested in your country，family and traditions.Be sure to bring photographs of your town，school，friends and family.If you like，you may also bring small gifts that are typical of your country.
