Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English
outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers
changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to
offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system.
Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and
not residential(居住的)．Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less
crowded area.It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇Continental Breakfast
◇Breakfast and Dinner
◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked
breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists
of fruit juice,cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee.Cheese, fruit and cold meat
are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of meat
or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission.You
have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of
their privacy.
SelfCatering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a roomonly basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities
and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle
and is more suitable for the longstay student.However, it does not provide the same family
atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English
at home quite as much.
