Und der nächste Gastfamilienbrief

Hey Leute,
ja ich weiß es gibt ihr wirklich viele Gastfamilienbriefe, aber ich finde mein Brief hört sich etwas eingedeutscht an und ich weiß nicht was ich ändern könnt -
Ich würde mich echt freuen, wenn ihr mal drüber gucken könntet und mir sagen, was ich falsch gemacht habe ^^

Dear host family,
First I would thank you, that you read my letter.
It’s a little bit tricky to describe yourself, so I don’t know really what I can write.
Anyway, here are some things about your (hopefully) future host daughter.

My name is Julia XXX and I´m from Germany. I was born in February 2001 (especially at the 7 February ) . I live with my parents and my cat - in XXX, a town in west Germany. It has approximately 575.000 inhabitants. We have a “beach” at the river Ruhr, we called it “Baldeney see”. With a train you drive one hour to Cologne. If you interested in reading information’s about Essen you can read something about it at “Wikipedia”. I also have two half-sisters- one lives in XXXX ( might you know the soccer club SC Schalke 04 which comes from XXX, the town is located near to Essen ) and my other sister lives with her man and her two children’s :heart: in north XXXX.
My mom had been a Chemical Engineer before I was born. She comes from Belarus, so I also can speak Russian.
My father is a Physics Engineer. He has a company which makes schematics and builds plants for other big companys e.g. simens etc.
We live in a house with a garden where I often play badminton. With my cat I often play catch ( sorry, I don’t know the English word for the game ). Her name is XXX and she is a Siam cat. I really like cats at all and dogs, too . But I’m a little bit afraid of having dogs like bulldogs or Rottweilers or other dogs , because two years ago ones had bitten me. I think if you have a friendly and nice dog I will understand me will with him.

I go to the 9 class in the XXX in XXXX. I like my school and my class so much. There I can meet my friends every day. My favorite subjects are physical education, music and German. But English is also a very great subject and sometimes math’s, too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: . In the school we have an orchestra and a choir. I play oboe in the orchestra ones a week. My friends play there, too.
After school I often meet my friends. We walk in a small forest near to our house, go shopping (even I don’t like it so much - ) etc. I also read a lot, my favorite books are warrior cats and Harry Potter.

In the remaining time I have swim training twice a week. I like swimming and water really much. I swum (?) since I was three or four years old. Sometimes we have competitions at the weekends, but I don’t like competitions so much. Swimming for fun is better XD When I have more time I want to help to train some smaller children in my swimming club.
I also have played tennis for 6 years but then I didn’t have enough time to do it and my club wasn’t so nice and it didn’t make fun at the end, too.
And I also play piano. I love it :heart: If you want I can show you something. Do you know some traditional Australian songs?
In Australia I also want to try some new hobbies. Maybe volleyball or something else ….

Now I want to tell you something about my character. Then you know as I am if I can live with you. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I think it’s very tricky to describe yourself so I ask my friends and my family.
They say that I’m tidy and resolved and scrupulously and concentrated. I’m a rally happy child and I often smile. They also say that I’m helpful and they can always speak with me when there are sad.
But I also like it to be for my one a little time, to calm down, relax and then I can start with old power again.
In one thing also everybody agree. I am funny and humorous. I like it to laugh and I like it more, when everybody laughs with me. That’s a great feeling.
I try to make the best of my life and I also want to make the best of my half a year in Australia. I think it won’t be easy but it will help me a lot. ( More I say later in this letter. )

At last I want to tell you, why I want to spend a half a year in Australia. It’s o a big chance to learn something about the people, the school at the other site of the world and the country. Australia looks so different to Germany. In Queensland you have the ocean and it’s warm, even in the winter. We in Germany have often rain or it’s cloudy. In the summer and in the winter.
We have learned a little bit about Australia in the school but I want to see all with my own eyes. Because: When I can experience all this again?
Many people in Germany think that all Australians like surfing and make a lot barbecues. :wink:

That’s all interesting about me and I hope you like it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for reading my letter and
greetings from Germany^^

Yours Julia -

PS: I know that I don’t make any claims (?) but I´m used to having no siblings at home and I will be really happy if you have children’s and I could come to you.
