Gastfamilienbrief / host family letter Verbesserungsvorschläge ??:)

Hey Leute :grinning:
Jetzt ist es auch bei mir soweit und ich muss meinen Gastfamilienbrief schreiben.
Fertig hab ich ihn, aber ist er auch so ok ?:smiley:
Ich würde mich über Verbesserungsvorschläge riesig freuen :slight_smile:

Dear host family

First of all I want to thank you for reading my letter and giving me the opportunity to live one year in your family.
To make your decision easier I want to tell you something about who I am.

I am Sandy Schröder, a sixteen year old girl from Germany. I am living together with my Mum, my little brother and our two cats in a big city. I haven’t got much contact with my father. I have met him a few years ago. So I can say that I have a really nice relationship to my mother. We are like friends so if I have any problems I can tell her and she tries to help me.

It is nice to live in a big city especially because there is a lot going on. It is never getting boring and we have a big railway system, so I can go ever where very far. That is why I can meet my friends often. Usually we go swimming on hot summer days or chill out at the lake in front of my home. At home we often bake when we find nice recipes or something like this.

If I am not together with my friends or my mum I practice my favorite hobby: inline skating.
It is a very sporty hobby. I do it since I was six years old. In this time I started watching older kids how they do inline skating and later they teach me how to do it.

Another hobby of me is to play an instrument. I play the keyboard. One year ago, I started playing the keyboard, but I don’t have lessons. Usually I watch tutorials on Youtube and teach me on my own to play a song. I am not a pianist, but it is much fun for me.

My school is just 10 minutes far away from my home so I go there every day by bike. In my school are about 490 pupils. I am in the 10th grade. That means that I will have my school graduation soon. I am very interested in subjects like Sports, Math, French, English and Geography. I think languages are very important because you should know how you can express yourself.

I am looking forward to my first American school day. Here in Germany the school is a little bit different from school in the USA. In my school the education usually starts at 7.50 am and ends at 2.50 pm.

I like to try new things, find out about different cultures, people and languages. I think that living in the U.S.A will be an awesome experience for me and that it will have a big influence of my life and personality. As well I hope that after the time in your family America and your family will be a second home to me. I’m happy that I will soon get the chance to get to know the country and the American way of life.

I hope you’re going to be MY host family and if so, thank you very much!

Ich finde deinen Brief auch gut. Da es nur wenige grammatikalische Fehler und Rechtschreibfehler gibt, ist der Text sehr gut zu verstehen. Vielleicht könntest du noch kurz was darüber schreiben, wieso du gerade in die USA gehen möchtest?

Ich finde er ist dir echt gelungen. Ich bin gerade dabei meinen host family letter zu schreiben, aber es kommt irgendwie nichts nützliches zusammen. :+1:

Ist super geworden ;):wink:
