Dear Host Family,
I hope this letter finds you well! My name is Andrea, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to spend a year abroad with you and experience American culture firsthand. I wanted to take this chance to introduce myself and share a little bit about my family, my personality, and my interests. I come from a family of five: my father, my mother, my older sister, my older brother, and our beloved dog. My dad is in a wheelchair, but he’s very active and participates in many family activities. My mother is very caring, and she’s always there to support all of us. My sister is 23 years old, and she’s very friendly and outgoing, while my brother, who is 31, is someone I look up to for his advice and guidance. We also have a Labrador, who is always full of energy and loves to play with everyone. As a family, we enjoy spending time together. We sometimes go out shopping, take walks around the city center, or just hang out at home. I particularly enjoy these moments, as they allow me to bond with my family and share good times. While I sometimes spend time alone.
A little about me: I would describe myself as dynamic and humorous. I enjoy making jokes, but I also know when it’s time to be serious. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I feel comfortable, I open up and love to have fun with others. I’m also a responsible person and take my commitments seriously, whether it’s in school, with my family, or in my personal life. One of my biggest passions is basketball. I’ve been playing for about two years, and I love the energy and teamwork involved in the sport. I also enjoy other sports, like flag football, soccer, and tennis, so I try to stay active in various ways. In addition, I like to play video games, especially Minecraft, and I also love listening to music. Going to concerts with my family or friends is something I really enjoy because it’s a way for us to share good experiences together.
When it comes to food, I’m a fan of pizza, pasta, and fast food – they’re some of my favorite treats! I’m not too picky, and I’m always open to trying new things, especially when it comes to food. My favorite holiday is Christmas because it’s a special time when we get to be together as a family. Halloween is also a lot of fun, and I enjoy spending it with my friends.
Through this exchange experience, I hope to become more independent and broaden my cultural horizons. I believe this year will be an incredible opportunity to learn and grow, and I’m excited to bring what I learn back with me. I can’t wait to meet you all and spend time together!
Thank you so much for opening your home to me. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better and experiencing everything that life in the U.S. has to offer.
