Dear host family, I would like to thank you for participating in this exchange program and express my gratitude and my excitement for the next year. By doing this exchange, I want to learn about your culture and your lifestyle, meet new people and create precious memories. I am a French girl living in a flat with my parents in the close suburb of Paris . I don't have any sisters and brothers but I would have liked to have some because I am a social, outgoing and fun person. I'm very talkative but I can be a little bit shy at first. My favorite activities are swimming, spending time with my friends, listening to music and watching movies. I also enjoy traveling, theater and detective novels and taking pictures. Last summer I went to the USA with my parents on the east coast. For me it is an incredible country and being able to live there would be a great chance. At school my favorite subjects are history, mathematics and languages. I speak French, English and a little bit of Spanish. Of course living one year in the USA would be the opportunity to become fluent in English and I really want to. I love animals especially dogs and horses but I don’t have any because I live in a flat. I would be very happy to share my culture with you. I can't wait to meet you and I would be delighted to be part of your family! Warm regards, Pauline
