's Letter

Dear Host Family, I am very excited about the possibility of staying with your family and experiencing life in a new country. I wanted to introduce myself in a personal way so that you can get an idea of who I am and what I enjoy. I hope this letter gives you a sense of how I might fit into your family life and what I hope to share during my stay. I would describe myself as open, curious, and friendly. I love meeting new people and learning about their perspectives. I enjoy trying new activities, exploring new places, and stepping out of my comfort zone. Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I try to approach challenges with a positive attitude. Being open-minded has helped me adapt to new situations and make the most of every opportunity. Family is very important to me. I have a close relationship with my siblings, including my twin brother, and growing up with him has taught me a lot about cooperation, patience, and supporting the people you care about. We have shared many experiences together, both fun and challenging, and having a twin has helped me understand the importance of teamwork and empathy. I enjoy spending time with my family, whether it is playing games, cooking, baking, or just chatting. I try to bring the same respect and kindness into all my relationships. I enjoy spending time with others and participating in activities. I like playing games with family or friends, going shopping, or exploring new places. At the same time, I appreciate calm days at home, where I can bake, listen to music, or enjoy a quiet moment. Baking is a favorite hobby because it allows me to be creative and share something with others. Even small activities, like helping with chores or preparing meals, can bring people closer together and make everyday life more enjoyable. During my stay with your family, I hope we can do many different activities together. I am open to participating in family traditions, going on trips, learning about local customs, and trying new foods. I think it is exciting to experience a family’s daily life and learn how people organize routines, celebrate special occasions, and spend time together. I hope to be involved in these experiences and contribute positively to your home. Improving my English is also one of my goals. I am looking forward to practicing it every day, not only in school, but also in conversations with you and your family. I am eager to talk, ask questions, and share stories, and I hope this experience will help me improve my language skills and better understand the culture and habits of the people around me. Even though I don’t have pets at home, I love animals and would be happy to spend time with any pets you have. I think they bring joy, energy, and warmth to a household. I would enjoy helping take care of them or simply spending time with them. Animals are a special part of life and often help create a lively and happy home environment. I would describe myself as someone with a good sense of humor. I enjoy making people laugh, sharing jokes, and appreciating fun moments. Humor is a great way to connect with others and create a friendly atmosphere at home. At the same time, I respect personal space and understand the importance of balance in family life. I try to be thoughtful and supportive, while also being enthusiastic about participating in shared activities. In my free time, I enjoy activities that keep me active, creative, and engaged. Sports have always been important to me because they teach discipline, perseverance, and determination. Being active helps me stay focused and motivated. I also enjoy creative hobbies, such as fashion and makeup, which allow me to express myself. Music is another big part of my life, and I enjoy listening to different genres, discovering new artists, and sharing music with friends. I also like spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and going on small adventures. I enjoy both exciting and relaxed days, depending on the activities we do. I try to be responsible and helpful at home. I enjoy helping with daily routines, cooking, cleaning, or organizing things when needed. I believe that being part of a family means contributing to the household and supporting one another. I am always happy to help, whether it’s preparing meals, participating in activities, or just being there for conversation and company. I hope that during my stay, we can enjoy both active and calm days together. I am open to learning new things, sharing experiences, and participating fully in family life. Most importantly, I want to build a connection with your family, share laughs, and create meaningful memories. I hope we can enjoy small moments, like baking or playing games, as well as bigger experiences like trips or adventures. Thank you very much for considering me as a guest in your home. I am really looking forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and feeling part of your family. Sincerely, Inka
