The experience of being cheated by a host family in France

Studying abroad, for host families, many students must have great illusions about the hormonal family in France: enthusiastic French couples, free tour guides, delicious food, rapid progress in French and cheap rent. However, the reality is cruel. Let's talk about the experience of being cheated by a host family in France.

The following are real examples of friends:

I have a friend, Xiao Z, who was cheated by two host families not long ago. Little Z is a sister from Taiwan Province Province who came to study in France. When she first came to France, her language was not good. She turned to a friend for help and temporarily stayed with a host family in France. Because it was introduced by a friend, I only lived for a week (looking for a house). Little Z trusts the landlord and aunt very much. But she never expected that on the first day when she first moved in, the landlord and aunt said that there was a strange smell at home. She followed the smell and found Xiao Z's bedroom. It turned out that Xiao Z was afraid that his clothes would get wet and put mothballs in his suitcase. Aunt looked at Z's mothballs in disgust, and Z immediately said, I threw it away. I thought this was the end of it. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Z came home the next day, he found that his things had obviously been touched. The box is open and everything is spread out to dry. Aunt looked sorry and explained that it still smelled. Little Z is very upset that something has been tampered with. Tell her that she will wash it, but please don't touch her things. Aunt also agreed. On the third day and the fourth day, Xiao Z suddenly found his clothes hanging directly on the balcony, and the cards and money in his clothes were directly thrown aside. Little Z was very angry and asked his friends to negotiate with his aunt. Aunt's husband also pretended to be stupid and said that no one had touched her things. Later, Xiao Z decided to move out as soon as possible and found a school to help negotiate. The family is still on the school's host family list.

The school got mixed up so that she could move out as soon as possible. Then help her find a new host family. This time, little Z is smart. He signed a tripartite contract with the host family through the school to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. He is going to be cautious and try to stay for a month.

The aunt of the second homestay was very enthusiastic about Xiao Z on the first day. In the words, she hoped that Xiao Z could stay here longer, and Xiao Z fooled her with haha. A Greek sister lived in another room, and chose to pack dinner, about 600 euros a month. Little Z told me that the things made by the landlord's aunt are just like pig food, which is stupid, half-baked and unpalatable. One morning, she glanced at what her Greek sister was eating and was secretly glad that she didn't choose that meal.

In this way, three weeks later, the landlord aunt began to ask Xiao Z to renew his contract every day. One day, she told Xiao Z, and the school told her that Xiao Z wanted to renew the contract and she would collect the money herself. Little z is puzzling and calls the school directly. The school said there was no such thing. The landlord and aunt said they made a mistake. At this time, little Z strengthened his idea of moving out. At this time, a new pit appeared. The landlord aunt told Xiao Z with a cold face that she was not at home on the agreed moving day and asked Xiao Z to move out in advance. Xiao z called the school to negotiate, and the school said it would be implemented according to the contract date. Because the school failed to find a new host family for Xiao Z in time, it discussed with the current landlord a few days' grace to move out, and the extra days were settled by the day. The landlord and Xiao Z were asking for exorbitant prices, so Xiao Z had to negotiate with the school again.

Finally, it's time to move out. This time, she finally decided to move to her student apartment, because she didn't want to face the unknown pit again. On the day of moving out, little Z put the extra days' rent and keys on the table. He left one eye when he left and took a picture of the table. Sure enough, a week later, the landlord contacted the school and said that he had not received the key. Xiao Z sent an email to the landlord and the school with photos, saying that you could not receive the money without receiving the key, and the school continued to muddle along silently.

These are the experiences of poor little sister Z being trapped, such as contracts, personal privacy, living habits and quality, claims and unreasonable demands. These are potential pits for host families. Of course, you meet a good host family, practice French with you, take you out to play and treat you as family, but there are also many host families who are trapped when you are not at home. After all, there is no clear assessment standard.

Still remind the friends who are preparing to choose a host family, they must be cautious and must be cautious.
