's Letter
Dear Host Family,
Hello, my name is Hinaka.
This will be my first time visiting mainland America, and I am very excited to go there.
I would like to enjoy events and cooking with the host family. My favorite food is fried chicken. I don’t like vegetables, but I like eating. I also like watching movies. I want to watch movies, and I would like to watch movies together with the host family. Please tell me your favorite movies.
I would like to introduce Japanese dishes that I often cook with my mother, especially Japanese-style fried chicken(karaage) and miso soup. I also like watching sports. I learned about Sumo wrestling from my father, and I often watch baseball and volleyball games on TV. I hope to talk about American and Japanese sports.
I have a serious and positive personality, and I’m not afraid of challenges. I became used to life, I laugh a lot and talk a lot.
On weekday afternoons, I usually go for a walk. On weekends, I watch movies, go shopping, and enjoy karaoke with my friends. My hobbies are listening to music and dancing, especially imitating K-POP dances. I’m a member of the badminton club. What I like most about school is the school events, especially Sports Day.
I want to learn about American life and experience real daily life. I want to enjoy seasonal events, such as Thanksgiving Day, Halloween costumes, and Christmas decorations. I also really want to visit a big American supermarket. I admire American high schools because of their free atmosphere, long corridors, and elective classes. I often watch American movies and TV dramas.
My dream is to become a cabin attendant. I want to communicate with people from all over the world. Through studying abroad, I hope to improve my communication skills and be able to talk with anyone.
Now, I would like to introduce my family.
My father is a kind person. He teaches me skiing and studying. His hobby is riding motorcycles.
My mother is a nice person. She teaches me how to cook, and her hobby is playing with dogs.
My older brother has played baseball for 18 years. I often walk my dog with my brother. His hobby is riding motorcycles.
I will try my best to communicate.
Thank you very much for reading my letter. I’m really looking forward to seeing you soon.
Kind regards,
Hinaka
