Firstly, a family can show you 33________ the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely and overwhelmed. My host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to get 34________ , cooked dinner for me so we could eat together, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullfight.
