Es wäre nett wenn ihr ihn euch durchlesen könntet und mirverbesserungsvorschläge senden könntet.
Schonmal danke im vorrraus!!

Dear Host Family,

Before you read this letter I want to say “Thank You!” because you giving me the chance to live in another country for one year. It’s really nice of you to host a person who is interested in your country.

Now I will give you a first impression of who I am. My name is Timo Wörner and I am 15 years old. I live with my family in a house in a village called Ditzingen, it’s a little town near Stuttgart (maybe you know the city) in southern Germany.

My family is: my mom Brigitte (53), my dad Siegfried (53), my big brother Till (18), my little brother Nils (12) and of course our he-cat Tarzan (9).
My mum is housewife so she is most of time at home, my father works as organization programmer at a health-insurace fund.
My brother, who already is out of school, is doing an apprenteship as industrial clerk.
My little brother and I are still going to school, but in different ones.
Our he-cat Tarzan is a really sweet kitten and he is really important for me.

Our family is a really nice one. We sometimes do something together like going in the theater, to the cinema, or just sitting together at the table…
Sundays the men in the house are cooking which my mother does during the week.
In my parents’ free time my father do African music and karate, my mother sometimes do Tai-Chi.
Till do karate with my father too but most time he is not at home because he has got school and must work 8 hours a day.
Saturdays we usually watch a film together because we don’t have a TV.
But for us that’s no problem because we use to do other different thinks which are fun too.
We also travel together and I like it very much to see something different and new. l like the feeling to be somewhere you don’t know.
When my brother or I got a prelude (my brother Nils plays transverse flute) or a handball match my the family usually go with us and aid us.

At the moment I’m in 9th grade. In my school I have many subjects like Spanish, English, French, German, Maths, Biology, Geography, History, Sports, Music, Physics, Chemistry,…
But my favorite subjects are Sports and English. As well I find Physics and Chemistry interesting.
Most of my teachers are nice and I do have many friends in my school.
I am really looking forward to get to know another school system.
In my free time I like doing sports and playing music or meeting my friends who most live in the same village as I do.
I’m member of the local Handball Club and I like playing with my teammates. Last year we were second place in our league.
Also I do play in the local symphony orchestra with my violin.
I play violin since 7 years and piano since half a year. I also can play C flute.
I’m not only interested in classical music, I also listen to modern music.
Besides I am a lifeguard since 4 years, I have already the symbol silver.
I also juggle since 5 years and it’s great fun to learn more and more and my friends and I had already a few performances.
I like to read books too and I can read for hours when I have a good book.

I want to live in another country for one year because I am interested in other countries, cultures and languages. I want to meet new people and get to know other lifestyles and I want to learn the English language perfectly.
I love traveling too and I want to see more of the world.

Thank you for spending time reading this letter and I’m looking forward to meet you.

Yours sincerely
Timo

hab grad beim überfliegen nur den fehler gesehn: she is home most of the time, statt she’s most of the time at home…:+1:

also im1. satz:
… because you ARE giving…
ich würde die Satzanfänge bisschen variieren weil erst schreibst du immer my my my und dann I I I I liest sich dannn so abgehackt wie ne aufzählung…
aber inhaltlich gut…
ich weiß noch gar nicht was ich schreiben soll :confounded:
lg

also ich habe auch gestern meinen hostfamily-letter abgescgickt und finde es etwas besser, wenn du deine familie nicht nur so aufzählst (mother:…; father:…). Ich habe das mit einem zusammenhang geschrieben also praktisch: My family includes four members, who are my father, he works as an anästhesists…

Wenn du willst kann ich dir meinen brief ja mal als mail senden, vielleicht findest du noch anregungen :slight_smile:
