A letter to my host family

Dear host family,

Hello. My name is Misato I. I live in Kumamoto, Japan. I am 19 years old and I am a university student who is majoring in English language and literature at the Prefectural University of Kumamoto. I decided to go to Australia this summer because I want to learn English more and know about Australian culture. In addition, I want to speak English fluently with native English speakers, so I want to talk with you a lot about Australia and Japan. I will stay with you for six weeks this summer. This stay is my first time to go abroad, so I am very excited. Of course, I have never been to Australia. I have wanted to go to Australia for a long time because I am interested in countries in the Southern Hemisphere, which have the opposite seasons to Japan. And in Australia, there are a lot of natural beauty and animals which I can’t see in Japan. And my hobby is swimming, so if I have a chance, I want to swim in the beautiful sea in Australia. I am looking forward to finding out about Australia.

Here are some questions about you.

How many people are there in your family?

My family is consists of five members. There are my mother, my older sister, my grandmother and my grandfather and me. My sister is two years older than I. She is a university student, too.

Do you have pets?

I don’t have any pets now. But I once had some goldfish. I also like animals, so if you have some pets, you don’t have to worry about my allergies.

I will arrive at Melbourne airport at 10:30am on August 7^th. I will meet you at 11:00am there.

I am looking forward to meeting you.

Misato
