Dear host family, Thank you very much for being my host family. Let me introduce myself a little bit. I am a student who is looking forward to going to America. I have three members in my family, my mother, my father, and myself. My mother is able to make a handicraft, draw pictures, and cook well and she is a qualified nail teacher. She likes eating and always being careful about her healthy. My father is a company employee and he has loved baseball since he was a child. He is tough, but what he always says is correct. I want to do many challenges in America. For example, I want to try sports that I have never done before and go to various places. I can tell you about Japanese history and history. Next, I will talk about my daily life. On weekdays after taking classes at school, I study in the school library and occasionally participate in student council activities. It is tough, but when I get home, the food my mother makes is waiting for me, so I can do my best. On my days off, I usually spend my time reading at home watching anime, and studying for tests. I have many hobbies. I especially enjoy reading books and listening to music. I also like playing with animals. I have also been to concerts by people who make songs that I like. Going to a concert is fun. Other hobbies are tennis and piano and I have been practicing tennis and piano lessons. The reason why I decided to participate in this program and study abroad was that a French girl I met when I was little taught me about the differences in values of people around the world. I want to make many friends while studying abroad and learn about the differences in values and ways of thinking. Also, studying in American high school that I saw when I was little was very lively and cool. My dream is to work abroad using English. So I want to Iearn about working abroad while studying abroad. For these reasons, of course, I want to learn English hard when I study abroad. Thank you again for accepting me. Koharu
