Ich wollte meinen Gastfam Brief auch mal Posten. Leider habe ich auch die Anrede mit "dear" benutzt da mir einfach nichts besseres einfiel. Ich hoffe euch hilft der Brief noch weiter!
Dear Host family.
Fist of all I would like to thank you so much for hosting me. It means so much for me, to go in a country, and to know that there is a family waiting for me, to spend a whole year with me and to know that this family wants me to be a member of them.
My name is Julia Neumann, I am fifteen years old and I live together with my mother Annette Born-Neumann (44 years old) and my father Peter Neumann (47 years old) in our house in Wallau ca. hundred miles near Frankfurt in West Germany. It’s a pretty small village with a population of only 4.000 people.
I love to do tings with my family. I have been to so many places with them. They do so much for me and I want to return as much as possible to them. If there are any problems I can talk to my mother and my father. We search together for a solution. In our family it is very important to talk abuot problems. It makes me proud, that my family says they can send me to another country in the certainty, knowing that I will behave well.
I’ve a great relationship to my grandparents.
In my childhood we did very many things together and it brought me a great respect to older people. They did many trips with me and I have learned a lot of them. We often went to a near castle to watch the ducks I was fascinated by them. But if I was very young, only two or three years old I ever wanted to go out and see the cock, but when it then crocked I got fear and wanted to get away very, very fast. When my grandparents tell me this anecdote I always have to smile about my cock-craw-fear.
When I went to kindergarten my grandparents prepared the lunch and we ate it together. Then my mother picked me up to take me home. When she had to work longer my grandmother and I bake together or we worked together on her beautiful garden. My grandmother taught me the main rules of cooking and baking. So nowadays I can already bake a lot of good-tasting cakes.
Normally, my daily routine is going on like this. My day starts very early. At 5.30 I stand up and after I’ve taken a shower and breakfast, I go to the train station at 6.45. At 7.15 my train leaves for school. My first lesson at school starts at 7.35 and the last lesson of the day ends at 12.55. In the breaks between the different subjects, my friends and I sit on a bench and talk. After school, twice a week I go to my grandparents and eat lunch because my mother is still at work. After we finish lunching, I talk with my grandparents. When I come home I do my homework and go on the computer. Then I do some sport with my friends. Then my family and I eat dinner and after all I go to bed at 22.00.
When I finish school, I want to become a helicopter pilot. That’s a big aim but I am willed to work very hard to realize my dream.
