My name is Jenny and I did a homestay in America.

When I first met my host mother, Mary, she gave me a big hug. I was really shocked because I had never been hugged before, and I was sure how to respond.

By the time I left America, though, I came to enjoy hugging and being hugged.

Shaking hands was also a challenge. My homestay father, Peter, looked at me straight in the eye and squeezed my hand firmly.
握手也是个挑战。我寄宿那家的父亲彼特,直视着我的眼睛,紧紧地握我的手。
Both Mary and Peter wanted me to call them by their first names because they, as Americans, like informality. By using first names only, we felt friendlier towards each other.
玛丽和彼特都希望我对他们直呼其名,因为美国人一般比较随意。通过直呼其名,我们互相之间感到更加亲切友好。
