Essays 1-01: Weeeeey! The Letter for Host Family and Self Introduction

Dear host family.

Hello. My name is Airi H. I'm from Japan. Nice to meet you. Fist, I' ll introduce myself. I'm 19 years old and freshman in KGU. I belong to the English Department. Since I want to speak English very well, understand foreign movies in English and interpret English into Japanese for tourists, I entered KGU.

My favorite things are karaoke, listening to music and travel. Really, I want to use a plane when I travel, but I often use express bus or Shinkansen because the fare is low. During next spring vacation, I want to travel somewhere with my friend, and I want to visit traditional places or famous places and so on. Do you like to travel? Where have you ever been for travel? If there are many places to see, please take me there.

Now, I live in an apartment by myself. I had lived with my parents until last march, so I felt lonely when I entered the university. At last, I became accustomed to new surroundings. I cook every day. I am boring my cooking. Sometimes I think I want to eat my mother's cooking. If you have a special menu, tell me how to cook it. What Japanese cooking do you want to eat?

By the way, are there any universities near your house? I want to get on with many university students and make friends with them. I want to try my speaking skill. If possible, please introduce your friends to me.

It is hot or cool in the summer in Canada? I have an image of a cool climate. If it is cool, I will take many long-sleeved shirts. If it is hot, I will take many T-shirts. Is there anything else I should take? If so, please tell me. I'll prepare my necessities.

When I arrive at XXX airport, where should I go or wait for you in XXX airport? Also, what time should I go or wait for you? The plane is due at 11 am o'clock. My cellular phone number is 090-XXX-XXX.

I'm looking forward to seeing you. I want to go soon. I just can't wait to hear from you. See you later.

Sincerely Airi
