Dear future host family, I am Tamo. In this letter I want you to know me a little bit better. But first, I would like to thank you for being willing to participate in the exchange program and for making my dream come true. I am a very sporty person. I spend lots of my free time doing sports. Since I was a small child I have been doing track and field. I am doing this four times a week plus sometimes competitions on the weekends. On Mondays I take part in the volleyball extracurricular activity and otherwise I love playing with my friends soccer or basketball or something like that. When I have time I meet up with friends or I do something with my family. We talk with each other or play board games. Sometimes I throw the football with my father. It is very important to sit at the dinner table with my family every day to catch up. In spring or summer breaks I am often in a camp. In spring I am at a track and field camp and in summer I am on a camp for gifted students. There I enjoy being with other teenagers with the same interests and I have found lots of new friends there and I enjoy taking part in very interesting courses. In winter I love going skiing or snowboarding. In the winter breaks I am also on a camp for skiing and snowboarding. Skiing or snowboarding with friends is lots of fun. During the holidays I love to travel with my family. I have been to many different places and countries. I love to be in the nature and take photos of it. I like to hike in the mountains. At school I am interested in science, PE, geography, math, economy and computer science. My most favorite subjects besides PE are physics and chemistry. In school I love taking part in science and sports competitions. In the last to years I took part in the make@thon where I worked on projects to produce sustainable energy and secondly I worked on a project to avoid floods, with that my team and I won this competition. Once a week I visit my grandparents to help them with all kinds of technical questions and carry heavy things. At home sometimes I mow the lawn or do the dishes or vacuum. When I am at home I also like reading or just hanging out in my room chatting with friends and I enjoy having my cat around to cuddle, or practicing some sporty things like juggling or handstand. But I also often do something with my family. We play board games, play in our garden, go hiking or just eat together. With my brother I play Lego, play on our Nintendo or I help him with his homework. Family ist really important to me. I can talk to them when I have problems, I can trust them and they try always to help me when I have struggle with something. They support me in everything I do. That gives me strength and self-confidence. I hope this helps you to get a picture of me. I am excited to get to know YOU. Sincerely Tamo
