Host Family Letter

Hey allesamt hab meinen brief geschrieben und wollt mal fragen ob er gut ist und ob ich ein paar fehler gemacht hab. Außerdem find ich er ist ein bisschen kurz was sagt ihr dazu?Wie lange waren eure Briefe?

Dear Host family,

first of all I want to thank you for reading my letter and spending time on getting to know me better. I’m really looking forward to staying a year abroad in your country. My motivation at staying one year abroad is that I want to learn more about your country and your way of live. Now I want to introduce myself in the following lines.

My name is xxxxxxxx, I’m a 16 year old boy from Germany. I live with my family in a small village with 1700 inhabitants at the province Baden-Wuerttemberg. Near to our village is the big company Daimler AG (in former times DaimlerChrysler AG) located which produce the famous make of car “Mercedes-Benz”.

My family consist of my two parents xx and xxxxx, my older sister xxxxx and me. My Father is an employee by the Daimler AG and also my sister work there as a administrative assistant. My Mother works as a industrial business management assistant in a little company.
I have a very good relationship to all members of my family and we often spend time together.

My school is called “xxxxxxxGymnasium” where I attend the 10th grade. My school is an all-day school. This is very special in Germany because normally students from Germany spending just half a day at school. In the morning I go at 7a.m. to the bus and I come home at 5 p.m… One advantage of my school is that I’m all day long together with my friends and I don’t have so much homework. As the class repesentative I represent the interests of my class and I plan and organize events at school.

In my free time I meet my friends, listen to music watch TV or play the piano. I still learning to play the piano for 7 years. Some sport activities which I enjoy are swimming, cycling and winter sports as skiing and snowboarding. Another important part of my life is community service. In my community I engage me for the youth work. I plan and organize with other young persons together trips and activities for kids. For example this summer we organized a summer holiday camp for children. I was one of the leader of this camp. We had prepared a great program and the kids were all happy. I’ve learned to bear responsability and to be patient. I also think that the kids learned something because for many children it was the first time that they were a member of a group and so they’ve learned to be considerate of other group members. Besides at the devine services in our church I help as an altar server and I’m the leader of a youth club called “xy”. Furthermore I’m a member of the youth fire brigade. We practice every 2 weeks.

My friends and my family would describe me as an friendly, cheerful, respectful, independent, polite, creative, musical, responsible, attentive and ambitious young person.

Now I want say many thanks to you that I can be a part of your family for a year. I hope that my stay will be an interesting experience for me and for youand that I’ll soon be able to write you again, having got your address.

Sincerly yours,

Danke das ihr euch die zeit nehmt und ihr ihn euch durchlest
