  Considering the contribution of the emission from the host galaxies of
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to the radio afterglows, we investigate the effect of
host galaxies on observations statistically. For the three types of events,
e.g. low-luminosity, standard and high-luminosity GRBs, it is found that a
tight correlation exists between the ratio of the radio flux (RRF) of host
galaxy to the total radio peak emission and the observational frequency.
Especially, toward lower frequencies, the contribution from the host increases
significantly. The correlation can be used to get a useful estimate for the
radio brightness of those host galaxies which only have very limited radio
afterglow data. Using this prediction, we re-considered the theoretical radio
afterglow light curves for four kinds of events, i.e. high-luminosity,
low-luminosity, standard and failed GRBs, taking into account the contribution
from the host galaxies and aiming at exploring the detectability of these
events by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST).
Lying at a typical redshift of $z=1$, most of the events can be detected by
FAST easily. For the less fierce low-luminosity GRBs, their radio afterglows
are not strong enough to exceed the sensitivity limit of FAST at such
distances. However, since a large number of low luminosity bursts actually
happen very near to us, it is expected that FAST will still be able to detect
many of them.
