Ist mein Gastfamilien gramatikalisch korrekt?

Dear host family,

first of all I want to thank you for reading this letter. In this letter I want to introduce myself as well as my family and friends.

My name is XXX and I’m 15 years old, by the time I’ll arrive in the US I will be 16. I live in XXX which is a suburb of Hamburg. I live in a townhouse with a small garden at the river Elbe. I can see container- and cruise ships out of my room. In my opinion, especially cruise ships are interesting. Because of that, I read books and magazines with facts about cruise ships. I’ve been on 5 journeys with cruise ships.

My school is XXX, a school with only a few students. The school is quite close to my home so I go there by bike.

I like school because I’m interested in learning new things. My favorite subjects are English, Spanish, German, Politics & Economy, Theatre and Geography. I’m also a member of the first aid team of our school. In the first aid team, we take care of sick students or students who have injuries. This is a lot of fun. In our school we have NWE (a subject where we experiment) and we participate with our project in a science competition called “Jugend forscht” which is the biggest science competition in Germany. Even though I don’t like sciences I made a first prize at the state competition. I like to participate in competitions and I would like to participate in knowledge or society competitions.

To come to my family: I live together with my parents, unfortunately I don’t have siblings. I have two mice and I often play with the neighbors’ dogs. In the past, I had rabbits and guinea pigs.

I have a good relationship with my family. My parents support me whenever they can. I see my grandparents regularly and I go on holidays with my cousins as well. My family is quite important to me.

My mother works as a priest in a hospital. She only works half day and I spend a lot of time with her.

My father works as a manager in the storehouse section. He works quite a lot, but I spend some time with him on the weekend.

I also have lots of fun with my friends. We talk and laugh a lot together, go shopping, cook or bake.

I like reading in my free time as well. I like to do a lot with friends and family, but I also need a bit of silence once a day.

In my free time I play the cello and the piano. If there is time I do sports like inline skating or dancing. During the winter holidays I go skiing. Beside reading German books I enjoy reading English and Spanish books as well. I love to learn foreign languages. Therefore, I also learn French with a private teacher. I love to travel and especially to plan journeys even if it’s not possible to do them all.

I would like to be an exchange student because I want to meet new people, gain experience, get to know the American culture and learn a lot of new things. I want to go to the US because the people are extremely friendly and hospitable. I would like to experience the American school spirit as well. I love to speak English and because of that I can’t wait to speak English all day long. My mother stayed in India when she was young and enjoyed it. I’m not going a year abroad to travel around, I’m going to a country to get to know their everyday life.

I already have some international experience. In the summer holidays in 2014 I stayed 3 weeks in Ireland. I lived with a host family and we had fun together. I really enjoyed this time, because of that I decided to spend a longer time in a foreign country.

Thank you very much for your hospitality.
