Host Family Letter ? :)

Huhu!:slight_smile:

Ich muss nun bald meinen Host family letter abschicken und ich bin echt schlecht in Englisch (Habe die Note 4) und deshalb würde ich mich sehr freuen wenn ihr mal drüber gucken könntet und die Fehler verbessern würdet.

Tut mir echt leid wenn viele Fehler drinne sind…

Dankeschön!:)))

Dear host family,

First of all I want to thank you that you give me the chance to experience a country on the other part of the world.
We don’t know each other yet and because of that, that’s why i want to tell you something about my life, my family and my personality

I want to explain you why I like to spend a year in a different country.
I think it is a great experience to go abroad for one year and to learn new things about a different country, it’s culture and it’s people.
It would be great to learn all these things, staying in an American family.
Since last year, I had this dream, because I am very excited to learn more about other cultures and countries.
I choose the USA and now I am looking forward to learn about special American traditions, for example Halloween or Christmas day.

I’m XXX, a sixteen-year-old girl who lives with her parents and her little brother in a small village near Frankfurt on the main.
When i come to the USA i’ll be seventeen.
I have long dark brown hair, brown eyes and I’m about 5"3 tall.

My mother, XXX, is working as office administrator and my father, XXX, is working as mechanical engineer. Dad is interested in computers, gardening and my mother loves to relax or chill out with friends.

I have a brother named XXX who is 3 years younger than me and visits the 8th grade. He likes computer games and plays handball.
My relation to my brother is good. Sometimes we have conflicts, but not really often.

My other relatives like uncles, grandmothers or cousins are living far away. We only see them few times a year. However, my family is the most important part in my life. And I will miss them very much, especially my brother and my parents.

Above all I love the beautiful countryside and the amazing city. I think I will get a lot of new impressions and come home with a new personality. I want to improve my English, to become a self-reliant person and a real member of your family, because I don’t want to see the USA as a tourist. Besides, I’d like to tell you many things about Germany.

I’m a student in the 10th grade and I go to the XXX High School in XXX. In Germany are my favorite subjects German and my advanced course maths-physical science. I’ve been learning English for 7 years now and I can speak it nearly fluently and I have nearly no problems to understand it, but sometimes I make grammar mistakes. I think that my high school year will be a big chance to learn more about the USA, about myself and a very positive side-effect will be an improvement of my English. After my high school year, I’ll finish school and then start going to university after it, but I’m not sure what I want to study. For me, it’s sure, that I want to do something creative.

Another reason was your school system because it’s very different from ours. I like it that I can choose the subjects I want. For example, I’m very interested in cooking and photography. But I don’t know if this is offered in my American high school.

In my free time I like to take photos with my camera. I love it to shoot my friends or the countryside.
I hope i can take part in the photography club in the USA to learn more about photography.

I’m generally interested in music especially pop music, but I’m also open-minded for every other kind of music.

Another hobby I like to do is drawing pictures of people or beautiful landscapes. I’m not a professional, but I think the main thing is to enjoy doing it.

In summer i cycle often with my rollerblades with my friends. It’s very funny. I cant drive it good but i have fun.

In winter I love to go skiing with my family or my friends. I go skiing since i am 3 years old, so i think i can good ski.

Another hobby of mine is cooking. My favourite foods are pasta and mashed potatos with creamed spinach.
I can cook much, but sometimes i need help.

I love it to laugh, i have rarely bad times.
But I’m a typical girl, i can be bitchy too.

Thank you for opening your home for me and for becoming a part of your family.

It is important for me that you handle me not like a guest, but like a real family member after we get to know each other better.
I will do my best to make this year great for both of us and I think that we can learn many things of each other.

I hope we have a wonderful year together, with many beautiful memories and a precious friendship!
Much greetings from Germany,
Yours XXX.

ja ich denke der brief ist an sich gut, aber vor allem am anfang wiederholst du zu oft dass du in die usa willst um ein neues land kennen zu lernen usw.
lg

Außerdem solltest du die Wörter ausschreiben z.B. it’s - it is, ich denke das ist einfach höflicher
Liebe Grüße Leonie

Hey,

Ich hab mal ne kleine Frage :slight_smile:
und zwar hattest du in deiner Frage erwähnt, dass du in Englisch die Note 4 hast. Und weil ich das auch habe würde mich interessieren wie du es geschafft hast eine Orga zu finden die dich mit einer 4 aufnimmt :slight_smile:
Ich selbst würde gerne nach England gehen habe aber leider noch keine Orga gefunden die Leute mit einem schlechteren Schnitt als 3,0 nehmen.
Vielleicht könntest du mir ja mal den Namen deiner Orga nennen, das würde mich echt riesig freuen und mir auch sehr weiter helfen.
Ich freu mich auf deine Antwort und schon mal danke im vorraus :slight_smile:

Jana :grinning::wink:
