Essay 1-01a: Letter to My Host Family

Hello. Nice to meet you.

My name is Miri. Please call me Miri. I will introduce myself by this.

I am nineteen years old. My birthday is in September. I live in Kumamoto. Kumamoto is in  central Kyushu, southern Japan. I like watching soccer games; I often go to the stadium. Watching soccer is very exciting.

I also like going shopping. When I have free time, I often go shopping with my friends or my mother. This time makes me happy and refresh. When I was in elementary school, I belonged to chorus club. Therefore, I like singing too. Songs makes me smile and feel cheerful. When it was junior high school, I belonged to the broadcasting club. I learned about many things here.

    

I am interested in Korean culture. I love BIGBANG. Do you know this group? They are stars around the world. I had been to their concert. They are from Korea, so I am interested in Korea. Now I major in German at university. I think that I want to learn about the Korean next year.

      

When I get to the US, I want to do many things. First, I want to go the Moring Glory Pool. It is very mysterious in nature, so I am interested in it. In addition, I want to go to New York. This is a very famous place. Therefore, I often see there in the movie. If you can, I would you go there. I can eat almost any foods. I especially like Japanese food. I recommend there. When I go to America, I want to cook there for you. I have 2 questions for you. What is weather like the temperature? I worry about it. I want to bring Japanese traditional tools. Would you like? If you have one you like, please tell me. 

I am looking forward to staying with your family and contact another culture. When I go to America, I would do my best. So I ask for your kindness during my stay.

See you later.
