Dear host family: My name is Alexa, I am studying the second year of high - school, and I am planning to study the third year in the US, which is the equivalent to the 12th grade in that country. I am very enthusiast for this opportunity and I hope to be part of your familiy and to become a much better student there. I live with my two parents: David and Cecilia and my sister Andrea, we all are a great family and we get along very well. I want to take this great opportunity to improve my level of English and also to learn about a new culture. I know that it will be a challenge for me and that I will have to adjust to a new lifestyle, but I am sure that I will be able to do so. Finally I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your family and I am aware that I will have to adapt to the family´s nules and habits, but I will do my best so that you can feel happy with me. I am a very reliable person, always open to learn more and easy-to- adapt to new situations, and I have good values and principles that my parents have taught me. I really want to thank you for reading this letter and for giving me the opportunity to live this experience with you. Sincerely -Alexa
