Hostfamily letter

  • Hallo Steffen!


    Toll, dass du noch ein 2. Jahr bleibst.
    Ich musste im Maerz meine Gastfamilie wechseln, aber ich bin immer noch gleich nah an Melbourne :)
    Hier ist alles so weit ganz gut, nur die Vorstellung in 4 Wochen wieder zu Hause zu sein ist etwas seltsam.
    Ich bin eigentlich ganz froh, dass ich Weihnachten wieder zu Hause bin, da ich an meinem Geburtstag doch arges Heimweh hatte. ;)
    Als ich hier her kam, hatte ich ja auch noch ein bisschen Sommer, also Februar und Maerz waren doch noch ganz schoen warm. Und ich hoffe ja, dass es wider waermer wird, bevor ich dann nach Hause muss. :p


    Liebe Gruesse,
    Hannah

  • Steffen heiß ich übrigens! ;)
    Nein, hab mein Visum hier für ein 2. Jahr verlängert. Bin gerade in Cairns bei einer neuen Familie als Au Pair! :)
    Und du, noch in Melbourne?
    Wie läufts?
    Genieß noch den letzten Monat, schade, dass du Weihnachten und Neu Jahr verpasst! ;) Und den Sommer natürlich! :D
    Grüßle aus den Tropen,
    Steffen

  • Hey!


    Ich würde Gymnasium stehen lassen, da die meistens bescheid wissen, was das ist. Wenn du sicher gehen möchtest kannst du noch so etwas wie "Like a highschool in the USA" oder so in Klammern schreiben :)


    Vielleicht könntest du "The subject I amthe worst at is Maths" schreiben, da das einfach häufiger gesagt wird. :)


    Aber der Brief ist echt toll!


    Viele Grüße aus Australien!
    Hannah

  • Hey, Eileen!


    Also, ich korrigiere mal paar Sachen, die mir auf die Schnelle auffallen!
    Hoffe, ich bin noch pünktlich^^

    Also.
    Das sind mal die Sachen, die mir beim ersten Mal durchlesen aufgefallen sind.
    Ich kann natürlich nicht garantieren, dass ich alle Fehler oder Ausdrucksfehler und so gefunden habe, aber ja.
    Achja, ich denke schon, dass ich das korrekt ausgebessert habe, aber ich bin ja kein Englisch-Lehrer (noch nicht :P)! ;)


    Liebe Grüße ;)

  • Hallo ihr lieben!


    Ich habe hier den Brief den ich für die Anmeldung abgeben muss und wollte euch mal nach der Meinung fragen!





    Dear host family,




    firstly I want to thank
    you for giving me the chance to get a member of you family and also
    to give me the opportunity to join the american life. This means so
    much to me, to live a life as an exchange student in the United
    States.




    My name is Eileen and I'm
    16 years old, but I'll turn 17 before going to the USA. I'm born at
    the 24th of Febuary in 1997. I live in a small town in the
    near of Frankfurt am Main. We have about 8000 inhabitants. There's
    not much you can do here. But in the town next to my, there's a
    cinema where my friends and I often go to watch the newest movies.




    My mom is one of the most
    supporting members in my family. Without her, I never could go to the
    USA as an exchange student. And so I'm very thankful. My parents got
    divorced when I was around 7, I think. But that was never a big thing
    for me. My mom has a new boyfriend and me and my twin sister are
    living with her and him together in a house with a little garden. My
    dad lives in a town 60 kilometers away from me. I can see him every
    second weekend, if I want to. He lives with a new woman and their
    childs, one girl in the same age like me and one boy with the age of
    12. I like both family parts and can deal with it pretty good. But my
    dad isn't that supportive like my mum. But another member of my
    family is that supportive like her. I think without his help it
    wouldn't be possible to join this experience. My grandpa means a lot
    to me. Everytime I'm at his house, he's like hampering me and
    enjoying the time with his grandchild.




    In the household I have
    to do some small things like tidy up my room, clean out the
    dishwasher and cleaning the stairs (once a week).




    I'm going to the eleventh
    grade of a Gymnasium. My favourite subjects are art, english and
    german. Since this year I'm also trying to learn spanish. I really
    like it to learn different languages and it's not a big deal for me.


    But there are also
    subjects I don't really like. For example the subject where I'm the
    most worst is maths. I'm not pretty good in natural sciences.




    In my free time I love to
    do things with my best friend. She's one of the most important people
    in my life. I never had a friend like her. She's sharing the same
    preferences like me. We love to listen to music, espacially to One
    Direction and Little Mix, but also to any ohter tracks we like.


    Most of my free time I'm
    at home in my room. Then I like it to read a book or to sing to my
    favourite songs.


    I love it to dance, so I
    hope that I can go on with it in the USA too.




    I have really big future
    plans. After I did my exchange year I want to finish my school. My
    big dream is it to study media design and then to find a job in
    england, because I want to live there when I'm older. That's my
    biggest dream. But I also would like it to live in america.
    Emigration is the biggest dream, I think. That's one big reason, why
    I tink this high school year will give me important experiences for
    my future life.




    I think this is
    everything important to know about me and I hope that you are the
    family where I can stay for ten months. I'm very excited to get to
    you and to meet you soon!


    And if you're my new
    family, I want to say a massive thank you for choosing me to get your
    new family member!




    From Eileen with much
    love!

  • Ok versuch nummer 2 :D







    Dear
    Host family,


    First of all, I would like to thank you for considering me to stay at your home
    while I’m in the USA. In this letter I will try to introduce myself and give you
    an impression of my life, my family and my friends.




    I’m 15 years old, but I will be 16 when I will arrive in the USA also I will have
    just finished my junior high school. Currently I’m living in a house with my
    parents and one of my two sisters. The other one is visiting a university
    and because of that she doesn’t live at home anymore. However we have a good
    relationship to each other as well as with my other family members, which you
    can see when we have something to discuss we easily can talk about that.





    Well,
    that's my family. Now something more about me. At the moment I attend the 10th
    grade. Where I have quiet different subjects and even when I’m interested in
    all of them I have my favorite subjects what are Computer Science and Philosophy.
    I like them because I’m very interested in programming and discussing. But now to
    my daily routine:



    My day
    begins at 6:35am when I’m going to wake up. After that I make me ready and leave
    the house at 7:50am where I’m going to school by bike which begins at 8:15 and
    ends everyday expect Wednesday at 1:25pm. If it’s Wednesday my School ends at
    3:40pm and I have lunch in the School canteen; otherwise, I eat at home.


    After school, I do my homework and going in for one of my hobbies. Like meet my
    friends who would
    describe me as a really humorous and social person who loves to travel and meet
    new people. However I’m also interested in programming and I like it to debating, I also like it to watch TV Shows and
    Animes like LOST or Death Note or listening to music and even when I prefer
    Black Music. I’m also interested in other kinds of music like traditional Asian
    music.







    The biggest
    reason why I’m wanting participate in a exchange year is that the USA is famous
    for the amount of the different cultures and I would love get to know with them
    and collect experience. Another reason is to learn the language because you always
    need English skills particularly in the IT sector where I want to work when I’m
    finished with studying Computer Science.



    One thing I want to do in USA is to participate
    in a Community Service where I’m helping teenagers with their problems, because
    my opinion is that everyone should have someone who they can trust their
    problems and getting helped. And I think that the fact that I’m from oversea is
    really helpful, to help this people because I can share my experience with them
    also I’m thinking that I can share my culture with you to show you how I and
    the people from my country handle things and maybe help you in some aspects.







    Thank you very much for having taken the time to read my letter.


    I hope this gave you an impression about my personality and I’m really looking
    forward to meeting you in summer.




    Warm Regards,



    Jonah

  • Hey!!


    Also ich finde deinen Brief echt schoen :)
    Wir haben hier ja schon oefter gesagt, dass die Familie ja, in dem Fall, dich moechte und dann sollte der Brief auch wirklich von dir sein.
    Das einzige, was ich wirklich aendern wuerde, ist dass du keine Hobbys hast :D
    Schreibe einfach was du gerne machst und sich mit Freunden kann ja auch ein Hobby sein. Das mit den fehlenden AGs kannst du ja lassen und einfach sagen, dass es an deiner nicht die moeglichkeit gabt die zu besuchen.


    Aber zusammengefast: Richtig toller Brief!! :thumbsup:

  • Wie findet ihr den?
