Hallöchen allerseits 
Ich brauche bei meinem Brief einbisschen Hilfe. Es wäre wirklich supernett, wenn mir jemand diesen korriegieren und bewerten könnte, da ich leider nicht grad die Beste im Englishenbin. Ich bedanke mich bereits herzlichst im Vorraus! 
Dear host family,
My name is Vera, I am 19 years old and live in Germany. I was born in Kazakhstan. Therefore, I not only speak German, English and French, but also Russian.
In July 2009 I will finish the secondary school.
I have grown up with my parents and 2 older sisters. My father works as an construction machines leader (Baumaschinenführer) and my mother is an accountant (Buchhalterin).
My oldest sister is 24 year old and does a doctor ( PhD?) in chemistry at the university. The other sister is 23 and does an education as a lawyer’s employee (Rechtsanwaltsfachangestellte).
I have a very good relationship with my family.
Except my affectionate family, I still have some relatives, with small cousins. At the beginning I took care of them, later I was a babysitter for the children around the area.
With pleasure I spend a lot of time with children, especially, in the nature.
We ride together bicycle, play on the children’s playground, go swimming, make excursions, visit together some arrangements, paint and do handicrafts, play different games or I read out stories for them. The children are at the age between 2 und 12 years.
It is a joy to see how they grow up by learning and it makes me happy to feel how they enclose me as a friend and example in their heart.
I am a family person, open and optimistically, communicatively and humorously.
As a creative person, we always have a lot of fun playing together and we never get bored.
But I not only like to have fun with children, but also I like to educate them and to help them with the homework or some other problems.
I am used to help in the household, like I do it at home, too, e.g. cooking, cleaning, go shopping. Also I hope to share a family-friendly existence with your family.
I have no problem to adapt myself in new situations. By my job in the cinema I´ve learned to be flexible, self-confident and reliable. The cinema is the biggest in the area and there are always new tasks and problems, so I am capable with dealing stressful moments.
Since december I have got my driving license, and I drive so often as I can. Besides I have still time to get more practise and I think I am a careful driver.
In my free time I like to listen to music, to dance, to read an interesting book, to travel, to meet my friends and, of course, to look after children.
But also I like to do some sports like swimming, inline skating or jogging. It is good for relaxing and for the health. And I think being outside is important for children,too.
It’s healthy, they have the possibility to meet their friends and they can discover the nature.
In addition, I am open and adaptable. I love to travel and to find out other cultures and languages. I respect other cultures, religions and traditions. I have already taken part in some student exchanges which I had really enjoyed.
In my future I can imagine to live and work in a foreign country. I would like to get to know more and to gain some experience and can hardly wait for it to see the „American way of life“ as a part of your family.
I hope that you will give me the chance to discover the United States and to become a person who will be a friend for the whole family.
Yours sincerely, Vera
was mir grad aufgefallen is: es heißt „I drive as often as I can“ und nicht „so often as I can“
