ich möchte für ein halbes Jahr in die USA und habe einen Gastfamilienbrief verfasst. Leider hab ich niemanden der sich diesen für mich durchliest. Wäre nett wenn ihr kurz durchschaut ob grammatik und co. passen 
Dear host family,
First of all I want to thank you for taking your time to read my letter. I really hope it won´t get too boring.
My name´s ***** and I´m currently 15 years old. If everything´s going as planned,
I´ll celebrate my 16th birthday in another country which is really exciting.
I´ve always been a person with wanderlust, who loves to travel and see as much of the world as possible. A while ago I decided that I want to make some more memories in my life.
Spending half of a year away from home and everything familiar sounds challenging but also awesome to me. Improving my english and learning about a whole new culture is just one of the reasons I can´t wait to start this project.
I think it´s kind of hard to describe your own peronality because you´ll always see yourself in another light than others. Anyways I hope I´ll find the right words to describe myself...
I would say that I´m a fun person to be around. My friends and I always have a good time together. I`m a good listener and if anyone has a problem, I´m there.
If i meet new people I can be quite shy at first but as soon as I´m comfortable around someone I´m totally myself.
I live in a nice house with a small garden together with my mom and my little dog called ***** .I love animals in general.I´ve wanted to have a pet since I was little and I can´t tell you how happy I was when I finally got my dog.I also have a bigger brother( *****) but he lives on his own for a few years now. He´s working at his fathers jewelry shop.
My mum´s a presenter at a local radiostation. I don´t really have grandparents or aunts and uncles, actually, I barely have any nice relatives. You see, my family is not the biggest but that doesn´t matter to me at all. My family means everything to me. We´ve been through a lot but we all stick together, no matter what. We always have a good laugh, which is very important to me. Lucky enough, I grew up in a very humorous family. They taught me that it´s important not to take things too seriously and that a little bit of humour makes life a lot easier. Still, we talk about serious topics as well and if I have a problem I know I can count on them.
The school I go to isn´t too big but it´s still impossible to really get to know everyone. Which is not bad because everybody has a group of friends and nobodys completly left out. I´m surrounded by great and unique people and I´m really happy to call them my friends. This also includes my best friend. I´ve known her for a long time.
Actually, I think it´s more than 11 years. With her on my side I enjoy going to school. Well, let´s say it makes school life much more bearable.
Let me describe a normal school day to you. My school starts at 7.45 am. So I normally have to get up at 6.00 am.On every weekday our schedule is different. During each lesson we have a break between 5 to 15 minutes.
School normally ends at 1.30pm. After that most of the students go home and eat lunch. Some of them go back to school in the afternoon to take part in sport activities.
School can be quite hard here because teachers demand really much from their students and we have a lot of tests. But the good thing about my school is that all the of the students help each other as much as they can. Also if you´re good at a subject or you like it a lot it can be really fun. My favorite subjects are English, German and Italian. So basically languages. My least favorite subjects are Maths and Chemistry.
I guess compared to my friends I´m an average student. I´m not extraordinary good but I´m definitely not bad.
Of course I started to think about what I want to do after school. Travelling would be the first thing that comes to my mind. Before that I´ll probably go to university. I´m not exactly sure about what I want to study though.
I thought about psychology because this topic is so interesting.
In my freetime I like to meet up with my friends and just have a good time. Sometimes we go shopping or in the cinema but mostly we meet up at each others places. It´s always much fun but to be honest, I still prefer to have a little bit time for myself. One of the things I really enjoy doing when I´m alone is reading. Nothing´s better than coming home from a stessful day,picking up your favorite book and just escaping into another world.
Writing is another thing i like doing. Not really storys or poems. Just about some topics I can´t get off my mind. But lately I didn´t have enough time or motivation to write something. But I´m sure as soon as the project starts I´ll start writing again.
I also really enjoy listening to music. My day starts and ends with music on.
Oh, and don´t worry I don´t mean Metal or Hard Rock. Something a little bit more quiet.
I like dancing too but more for myself. I´ve never been in some kind of Hip Hop club or something like that but if I´m home alone and good music is playing, I can´t stop myself from dancing.
Also i enjoy swimming a lot. I don´t have enough endurance for a swim team but
it´s definitely a hoppy of mine.
Apart from that I´m not really sporty.
If i ever have to run a mile you can directly call an ambulance.
So that´s me. I hope I gave you a nice first impression of myself and I can´t wait to meet you soon!
Lots of greetings,
*****
