Hey, wäre sehr nett, wenn jemand nochmal über den Brief nachschauen könnte. Worüber könnte ich vielleicht noch schreiben? Oder denkt ihr das reicht?
Dear future host family,
first of all, I want to thank you for considering me to be part of your family for a few months. I am grateful for this opportunity you are giving me, and I know it’s a big responsibility. In this letter, I would like to give you an impression of me and my life and explain why I want to do an exchange year in Australia.
I’m -----, 15 years old, and I live in a suburb near the beautiful city of Frankfurt am Main in Germany. If I needed to describe myself in three words, I’d answer spontaneous, independent and open-minded. My friends see me as …
My family is small, but I see them regularly. I’m living with my mother as my parents are separated, but I visit my father every weekend. The rest of my family consists of my aunts, my uncle and grandmother. My mother works in -------- and my father is --------. I help my parents with the household, e.g. hanging up the laundry, emptying the dishwasher and vacuuming.
The school I attend is in another city, so I take the train every day to get there. It starts at eight and ends at 1 most of the time. In Germany, we don’t usually get to select our subjects and there is not as much variety like in Australia (I’m really looking forward to trying these subjects I never had before). My favorite subject is probably English or Economics.
After school, I love to play badminton in my club, which I do twice per week. I also love to travel and hang out with my friends who are really important to me. We like to go to neighboring cities or just walk around and talk.
I think that living in Australia for several 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 Aussie way of life for half a year and getting to know a new culture, making new friends, and improving my English skills. I can’t wait for this adventure to start. I chose Australia because of the beautiful beaches (there is no ocean next to my home), the big cities and the lifestyle.
Thank you for reading this letter. I am very thankful that I might become a part of your family and hope that after the time in your family, Australia will be a second home to me. I also hope that I can give you something back, for example by telling you something about the German culture.
Best regards,
Dankeschön!!!
