Essay 1-01a: Letter to My Host Family

Hello. My name is Yuka. I’m nineteen years old, studying Englsih in the university. I live in Kumamoto, Japan. I have a family of four people and a dog. My dog’s name is Moco. I like dogs very much.

 I’m very happy that I will be able to stay in your home. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

 My hobby is listening to music. I like the Beatles. In my free time, I often watch movies. I especially like “High School Musical “. I have watched it many times. I also like eating. My favorite foods are steak, hamburgers, omelets, cake, ice cream, and many other things. Please tell me about food shops which are famous there.

 When I was a high school student, I was a member of the Japanese archery club. It is called “Kyudo”. Kyudo is a very famous sport in Japan. If I go there, I want to teach about it. It looks very cool. I would like to tell about Japan more.

 I have never been overseas. This is my first time to go, so I am very nervous. In addition, I am not good at speaking English. I am worried about it. However, I am looking forward to learning about your culture. I think there are a lot of things which I don’t know. I want to understand your thinking, history, way of living, among others. Moreover, I will be able to hear English everyday. I think that my English skill will be improved. I am also looking forward to go sightseeing. I want to see streets and buildings. If I go there, I will take a lot of pictures. Please take me to the place which you recommend.

 I can’t wait to go there. I wish to spend a great time with you and I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Sincerely Yuka
