Hey,
Ich hab gerade den Brief an meine potentielle Gastfamilie geschrieben und würde es wirklich toll finden wenn ihr mit Anmerkungen oder Verbesserungen antworten würdet.
Schon mal vielen Dank im Voraus.
Dear host family,
First of all I want to say ‘thank you’ for taking an exchange student. It’s great that you someone like me this chance.
Since three years now I have this dream and want to get to know the ‘American way of life’. I’m very interested in the American culture and history, the High school and of course in the people.
I live together with my mum and my two cats Ginny and Martha. I love animals especially cats very much.
My friends, my family and my cats are very important for me. After My school’s out at midday I meet my friends or go swimming. Every second day I go jogging in the evening with a friend of mine it’s like a little ‘ritual’ for us. I do many things together with my family. Besides excursions to the beach or something like that also sitting together in the evening for playing a game or watching a film. Often I visit my grandparents and the rest of my family. When I’m with them there are always a lot of children around me and I’m doing many things with them.
Also I love reading. I just noticed that my bookshelf is getting too small… I like many kinds of books two of my favorite authors are for example Nicholas Sparks and Hillary Norman.
My favorite subjects in school are english, biology and history.
But more than school I like the vacations. I love traveling. With my parents I often went to Denmark by car. This year I was there in a great vacation home with my mum, her boyfriend and his son and a friend of mine. But also I visit my best friend who lives in Switzerland. I learned what it is like to stay in touch without seeing each other when she moved away. It wasn’t easy but now we are closer than ever before.
Besides school I’m a babysitter and I once did a paper route. The earned money I usually take for my long vacations for example for visiting my best friend.
I’m looking forward to this year and to getting to know you.
Greetings from Germany
Catharina
P.S.: Der Brief mag kurz erscheinen aber die Organisation hat auf diese Länge bestanden.
Ich finds gut
Sind paar kleine Fehlerchen aber das wird dir niemand übel nehmen.
Man erfährt etwas über Dinge die du gerne machst und magst und warum du dorthin möchtest. Ich denke du hast das wichtigste drin. Was ich auch schön finde ist, dass du so vertrauensvoll schreibst, Däumchen hoch
ich denke, der Brief ist echt kurz, aber wenn es so sein soll, dann ist es ja okay.
In dem Brief sind jede Menge Fehler. Ich hab mal so weit korrigiert wie ich kann, aber lass den Brief unbedingt nochmal von jemandem gegenlesen, der richtig gut Englisch kann. Ich hab auch vom Inhalt her ein bisschen was geändert, also einige Sätze gekürzt.

I`ve been to Denmark with my parents several times and I often visit my best friend in Switzerland. When she moved away I learned what it means not to see someone you like every day. At first it wasn’t easy but now we are even closer friends than before.
