Hi! My name is F. I am a third-year high school student and I am really happy to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My family is made up of five people: me, my parents, my twin brother, and my older sister. I have a very close and loving relationship with my family, especially with my twin brother, with whom I share a special bond. We have always been very close and we share many common interests. Growing up together has been a wonderful experience because we understand each other very well and always support one another. My sister is older than us and she is someone I admire a lot, because she is responsible and determined. My parents are very supportive and have always encouraged me to follow my passions and to work hard to achieve my goals. My week is quite busy: I go to school in the morning and then I have soccer practice in the afternoon, which takes up most of my time. Soccer is a very important part of my life because it has taught me discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. I really enjoy being part of a team and working together to achieve a common goal. When I get home, I usually study, have dinner with my family, and then continue studying before going to bed. Even though my days are full, I try to stay organized and make the most of my time. On the weekends, I almost always have a soccer match, which I look forward to every week. After the match, I often spend time with my friends. We like going out for a walk, watching movies, or simply talking and laughing together. Friendship is very important to me, and I value the time I spend with the people I care about. I really enjoy listening to music and going to concerts whenever I have the chance. Music helps me relax and express my emotions. I also love cooking and trying out new recipes; it’s a way for me to express my creativity and unwind after a long day. Sometimes I cook for my family, and it makes me happy to see them enjoy the food I prepare. I am a calm, friendly, and outgoing person. I enjoy being with others, meeting new people, and sharing experiences. I consider myself open-minded and respectful, and I always try to see things from different perspectives. I am curious and motivated, and I like challenging myself in new situations. I believe that stepping out of my comfort zone helps me grow as a person. I am very excited about the possibility of living this experience because I think it will allow me to become more independent and confident. I can’t wait to learn a new language and discover a culture different from my own. I am especially interested in learning about your traditions, daily life, and typical food. I would also love to share aspects of my culture with you, such as Italian traditions, recipes, and holidays. I am truly happy to have the chance to live this experience and spend time with you. Thank you very much for the opportunity and for your hospitality. I hope to learn a lot from this experience, improve my English, meet new people, make new friends, and be a good guest by contributing positively to your family life. I will do my best to be respectful, helpful, and open to every new experience. I can’t wait to meet you and start this new adventure together! Best wishes! F.
