Dear host family,
With this letter I want to give you a view into my life. I'm already very pleased to have my High School year in the United States and I’m excited to meet you next year. I know that my exchange year is only possible because you’re so hospitable and for that I can’t thank you enough.
My name is Sophie ******. I was born on *******. So I’m 16. I live in the village ******. It’s near the small town ***********. It is famous for its choirs. I’m in a special School for music. I get additional education in musical subjects. I sing in a very good choir which is called "**********". It's widely known. With this and my previous choirs, I had the opportunity to travel a little in Europe and Germany. With my Choirs I was for example in France and Denmark. Even with my family I like to travel. In the last years we were in Italy, Egypt, Austria and Croatia. I love to spend my summer vacations on the beach and in the sun. I like summer more than winter. But I’m able to drive Ski and I like it.
I’m a friendly, honest, helpful and open person. I need people around me because I’m sensitive and I don’t like being alone. Most of the time I have good mood because I’m optimistic. At first, I’m usually shy and a bit quiet but that change with time.
My school takes much of time and so music is my biggest hobby. I also like being around with my friends or going out with my dog. I’m very interested in fashion. When I have time I also like to read books. Also I’m interested in other peoples and cultures. I also like drawing but I’m not very talented in it.
I have 3 older sisters. They are 24, 30 and 36years old. One of them has already 2 small children. But I don’t see them often because we all live far apart. My father is a 60-year-old dental engineer and my mother is 46 years old and is a chemical engineer. To all of them I have a good and trusting relationship.
I’m a vegetarian. I’m not demanding in my diet and you don’t have to cook extra for me.
At the end of my letter I would like to give you some insight into my daily routine. In the school time I have to get up very early because I need a little bit more time in the morning. I’m not grumpy in the morning but I need my time to wake up. I come to school by bus. From 7:30 until 13:00 I have the normal subjects and after that, I have for example voice education, piano lessons or choir. At the evening I’m at home.
From my exchange year I hope for many new experiences, new friends and personal progression. I am very interested in the American lifestyle and culture and would like to make my own picture of it. Also I hope to improve my English and I like to spend a good year for me and you.
Thanks for reading my letter, I hope to hear from you soon.
If you have any questions please write me a e-mail to ******* or look for me on facebook.
Yours Sincerely
