Essay 1: Self-Introduction

Dear host family

Hello. How do you do? My name is Kanami O. I’ll be staying with you for 6 weeks in this summer. I’m so happy and I’m looking forward to meeting you!
Now, let me introduce myself. I am a Japanese student at KGU. I study mainly English, French, intercultural communication and literature. I’m really interested in foreign countries so I would like to go abroad. In the future, I wish to work in foreign country so I have to improve of abilities, speaking, listening, writing…in English. Can you talk with me and tell me about yourself? I want to know about you and your country.
Do you have any hobbies? I have many hobbies, playing sports (particularly tennis!), listening music, watching movies, reading books (comics, too), traveling, driving and so on. I always think that I want to try various things.
Next, I’ll introduce about my family and hometown. There are five people in my family, parents and two younger brothers. In addition, I have two pets, a dog and a cat. They are so cute, I’ll bring their pictures. I love animals. How about you? Do you have any pets?
My hometown is Kumamoto. There are many places to visit, Kumamoto castle, Aso caldera and other places. I would like to know about your hometown, too.
I have never been to a foreign country to go abroad so your country is the first place for me. Have you ever traveled abroad? If you have been abroad, I’d like to hear your stories. I’m really looking forward to meeting you.

Sincerely, Kanami.
