DANKESCHÖÖÖÖÖN schonmal
Dear host family,
First of all I want to thank you for giving me the chance of getting to knowthe culture and people of another county.
In this letter I am going to tell you something about my life, my family, my personality and my hobbies.
My name is Sandra XXXXX, (my grandparents are born in Hungary) I will turn 15 in February, I am 1.71 m (about 67 Inch) tall and live in a flat in XXXX, it is a nice suburb of Munich (City of world famous OCTOBER-FEST) in the south of Bavaria. Since my birth I have lived in this area with my parents grandparents and the rest of my family.
My parents have always encouraged me to live my dreams. Therefore, they try to support me as much as possible, so I will be able t spend half a year in the USA.
My father Christian works as a electrical engineer, he is crazy about computers and knows nearly everything about it. My mother Beate is a physical therapist, she also takes care for most of the household and is always there if I have any problems or need somebody to talk. The last part of my family is our cat Trixi, it is older than me, but the sweetest pet I can think of!
Since September 2007 I attend the 9th grade of the Gymnasium Königsbrunn. My school starts at 8am and ends three days a week at 12.50 , the other two ones at 15.15pm. One lesson lasts 45 minutes and we have a break of 20 minutes. If we are in school until 15.15pm we have a second break for lunch of 50 minutes. My favourite subjects are Art, Biology, German and English. I like school, although we had to learn a lot it is funny together with all my friends.(Des klingt komisch,aber ich weiß net was falsch ist) My four best mates are in the same class like mine(und bei dem mine auch nicht^^), I have known they since the 5th grade and one of them, called Nina since the beginning of elementary school. Of course I have a lot of other friends, most of them I got to know because of my favourite sport volleyball. In summer we all (nearly twenty teenagers) went to the beach volleyball place, where we spent many days during the last years. Otherwise we went to a small lake in my city (by bike I only need 5 minutes for getting there), or we go inline- or in winter iceskating, watching movies at the cinema or only meet each other to chill out. I also like reading books or magazines and I love chatting in the evening or at rainy days. (at rainy days??)
The extra money I need specially for shopping, I earn by tutoring a girl in Latin and delivering advertisement, I also get some pocket money from my parents and grandparents.
The reason why I want to spend half a year in the USA is, that I want to get more independent and self-reliant. I hope to improve my English, meet many new people and explore the life in the USA. I know life in another county and as a member of a new family will not be easy all the time, but I am really looking forward to this experience. I also hope, I will be able to show you something about the German way of life and learn to connect those different cultures.
I hope you will give me the opportunity to get to know you and live my dream.
Yours sincerely
