Hallo, ich haben meinen Gastfamilienbrief geschrieben, bin mir aber nicht sicher ob der so gut ist. Wäre sehr nett etwas feetback zu bekommen. vielen dank
Dear future Host Family,
first of all, I want to thank you for thinking about having me as a part of your family for a few months. In the following letter I want to give you an impression of my life and explain why I want to do an exchange year in the US.
My Name is … I’m 15 Years old and I live in a small Village in the north of Germany. If I had to describe myself in just a few words I would say I’m ambitious, calm and independent.
I live with my whole family. My father works in and my mother works as. I also have an older sister. She is 17 but I sadly don’t see her as much as I used to anymore because she is very busy with her school and mini job. My grandmother also lives with us. I help my parents with some household chores e.g. emptying the dishwasher or mowing the lawn.
My school is in the city closest to my village. If it isn’t too cold outside, I ride my bike to school which takes about half an hour. I’m in 10th grade now so school starts at 8 and ends at 1 for me most of the time. I would say my favorite subject in school right now is History.
After school I really like playing soccer in my Club, which I do twice a week, but I would really love trying something new in the Most days that I don’t play soccer I just spend time with my friends, go for a walk and chat a bit or whatever crosses our minds. I also like playing Video games from time to time. And every Friday I bring a local newspaper to a part of my village as a volunteer for the church.
I have wanted to be an exchange student for quite some time now. I think that living in the US for eleven months will be an awesome experience and will have a positive impact on me and my personality and eventually, make me more confident. Furthermore, I am fascinated by the idea of living the american way of life for nearly a year and getting to know a new culture, making new friends, and improving my English skills. I again want to thank you very much for spending your time reading this and considering me as a possible new family member for that time.
