Dear host family.
Hello. How do you do? My name is Kanami O. I'll be staying with you for 6 weeks in the summer. I was happy when I hear that I will be able to stay with you.
Now, let me introduce myself. I'm a student at KGU. I study mainly English, French and intercultural communication. I'm from Japan and my hometown is surrounded with the rice fields.
Next, I'll tell you about my family. There are five people, my parents and two yonger brothers.My parents run a convenience store, Seven-Eleven. Are there Seven-Elevens in your town? They're busy because the store is opened 24 hours.
I like my hometown and my family so I'll take some pictures of them. How many people are in your family? I want to meet you and make friends with you.
My hobby is playing tennis, watching movies and reading books. How about you? What do you do when you have free time? Please tell me something to enjoy.
Where are you in New Zealand, by the way?I have never been to the foreign country so the place where I'll visit for the first time is New Zealand. Have you ever traveled abroad? If you have been abroad,I'd like to hear your story.
Are there famous foods and spots in your town? My favorite foods are cheese, strawberry and ice cream. How about you? I want to know more you and your town so I hope that you will tell me about yourself. What's more, I want to be a good English speaker so wouldn't you like to talk a lot with me?
Sincerely, I'm looking forward to meeting you.
From Kanami.
