The advantages and disadvantages of homestay

Staying in a homestay has lots of advantages.First of all,you've got tutors in your home.for example your family can help you with homework ,idioms,vocabulary and pronunciation.The most important things are speaking and listening because they are diffcult to practice by yourself when you go back to your country.

secondly,you're saving a great amount of time because you don't need to wash dirty laundry or prepare dinner.You can do a lot of things as you like.For example,you can exploit the time to study English ,watching movies and make foreign friends.In this way, you'll be like a sponge and soak up as much English as you can.

Finally,most homestay facilities are better than in a flat.Utensils,furniture and electrical appliances .For example ,heater,fridge,wash machine.You don't need to spent much time check your grocery.Almost of yours just talk to host family something run out or something you need.Also you don't have to worry about the water bill,power bill and internet bill.Of cause ,saving energy is your responsebility even when you're staying your country.

However,staying in a homestay also has some disadvantages.It's expensive and your food depend on your host family.you can't eat good food everyday or do what you like.Also have a lot of rules we have to follow . For example,In New Zealand you have to dry bench when you have finished at the sink .Also the bathroom has to be kept dry and clean when you've finished in the shower.By the way ,if you're chowing something you have to chew quietly.So you don't have much freedom at all.

Despite the disadvantages I prefer staying in a homestay because my majoy is stuying English. The best thing is that i can undertand about more about polite things , learning about their lives and other country's cultures.
