Hallo,
habe eben meinen Students Letter fertig bekommen - Grammatikalisch, sowie Inhaltlich sind da noch sicherlich viele Fehler. Mag jemand mal drüber gucken, wo sich Fettnäpfchen und diese Fehler versteckt haben?
Dear Family,
my name is XXX and I am XX years old. I live with my parents and my younger sister in XX, a hanseatic town northern of Germany.
First I would like to say thank you for reading this letter and giving me the chance to spend my exchange in Ireland.
In this letter I want to tell you something about my family, my environment and of course - something about me and why I wanted to go abroad.
A part of my family lives in XXX, also my grandparents. We used to visit them every year, as I was younger I spent a lot of time in this country, but today it isn’t possible anymore. My mother’s grandmother is from Germany, so that’s the reason, why I live in Germany today. I can speak XXX and in the past I spoke it better than German, but I think German is my native language, as well I was born in Germany.
My family is an important part of my life. There are my parents – of course often we haven’t the same opinion - and my little sister – her name is XXX and she’s XX years old. We often argue and yes, she can be very annoying, but I think that’s normal and I’m very glad to have her. At all I can’t imagine a life without them.
My school – the XX school XX - is in the city of XX, but I live in XX, so I drive with the train to it. On the way back I also use the bus. I need ca. 45 Minutes for the way to school. The problem with my class is, that it’s very difficult to meet friends outside of the city, because we all have a long way to school and we all live in different parts of XX. So sometimes I need one hour, to my friend and one hour back. Of course I have friends here in XX from the primary school and we’re still in contact, but we don’t meet often and they are going to a another school. So when I meet with friends from my school we often go to the cinema or are going to the city.
I like pets very much – we had three rabbits and later two guinea pigs, but now we just have an aquarium with some fishes – and a mole in our garden, which my father hates. In my free time I am riding horses once a week. Every Saturday I’m going to my piano lessons. I play it since I’m five, so now already for nine years.
I love to read books, photography and I spent my free time often with drawing and writing. My favorite subject is art.
At all think I am more a quiet and shy person and I can be very insecure, but sometimes I have my very loud moments and if I want to do something, or when I’m really interested in something, nobody can stop me. Well – except of myself and sometimes even I can’t stop myself, which can get me in problematic or embarrassing situations.
When something is strange for me, at first I am very careful. But even this can’t stop me dreaming about going abroad. When I’m honestly I don’t really knew and know, why I choose Ireland. Surely I am very interested in the culture, want to improve my English – especially my pronunciation, want to be more independently and confident, and I always wanted to go to Ireland because of its beautiful landscape, but there was something else, which I can’t describe. It was just something like a feeling.
I’m doing a lot of things just by instinct and mostly I am right.
I don’t expect that everything will be perfect in Ireland, I think there will be some problems, but what I at least wish or hope is, that I will be fast integrated in the daily routine and in the family. So I hope at the end I can describe it as my “second home”.
Mir fehlt noch der Abschluss. Ich hoffe jemand kann mir helfen
Liebe Grüße
