“HOMESTAY NETWORK”STUDENT GUIDELINES

On arrival at your new home:

·Try to remember the names of your host family.If unsure about how to address them,it is okay to ask how they would like to be called.For example,if it is impolite in your country to call someone elder by their first name,ask if it’s okay to add Mr.or Mrs.in front of their names.Some Americans do not like to be addressed this way because it makes them feel old.
