    I think the best way to solve the problems is through communication. 

    11. If two young host children were fighting over a toy, how would you handle the situation?

    First, I will contemplate the situation If one of the kids has the toy first, I will offer to the other kid

    problem.

    feel at home while you are in the United States?

    It will be a challenge for me, because is hard to far from my family, I will hand the situation calling
    my family, an trying to be in contact with them
