Dear Host family Hi! My name is Bernardo, I am 14 years old and I live in Brazil with my mom. My parents are separated. I also have a sister that is a doctor and I have my Grandparents, that are retired and live close to us. I study in a private school and I like my school and my teachers. My favorite subject in school is math and P.E classes. I am thinking on doing biology in college. In my week I go to school in the morning, some days I have classes in the afternoon too, and the days I don't have class in the afternoon I play basketball 3 times per week (I play for my city's team) and I also go to the gym three times per week. In the weekends I like to hang out with my family, go to the cinema or going to the mall and hang out and play basketball with my friends. About me: I love make jokes and see comedy shows, I am very funny and I like to be with my friends, I get along very well with them. Sometimes me and my friends go to someone's house to eat, listen music or just talk with each others. About my favorite sports: I love to play basketball and I like volleyball too, so I hope to be able to play at my American high school because US is so strong in sports and I will learn a not. I already went to the US one time to Disney and Cancun. I decided to go to the High School in US because I think it's a big opportunity for life to live in a new country, know well a new culture, be part of it, make new friends in school and be part of a new family that I hope we get along very well and we can stay in contact after I return from exchange. I am very happy with this opportunity that my mom gave me to study and go to the exchange in US. Thank you so much for reading my text, I am very excited to meet you next year. See you soon. Hugs , Bernardo
