Dear host family
Hello. My name is Masumi Kanamitsu. I’m 20 years old now and going to be 21 years old on next October. I go to K.G.U and study English. I’m from Kikuka in Yamaga, and my univercity is in Kumamoto city. It takes about 1 hour to go to school by car, so I live at an apartment in Kumamoto city. I stay there about 3 years. I wasn’t used to cook when I lived with my family, but now I cook everyday. I like cooking, so I want to make supper with you sometimes. Tell me how to cook some American foods, and I can tell you how to cook Japanese foods. I hope you like it.
Then, let me introduce my family. I have 7 people in my family. I live with my grandma, grandpa, dad, mom, older sister, older brother, and me. It’s too many, isn’t it? We also have two dogs and some birds. They are so cute! I’ll show you some pictures of them. How many people are there in your family? Do you have any pets?
Do you like watching movies? I love watching movies! I like “How to loose a guy in ten days”, and “Blue crush”. Have you ever watched them? “Blue crush” is a surfing movie. I like going to the sea, so I like the movie. I wish that I could surf, but I haven’t tried yet. Have you ever tried surfing? I want to try it sometime. Tell me about your hobbies, too.
I want to improve my English ability, learn about your culture, and make a lot of friends. I hope we can have great time! I’m very looking forward to see you! (289/1107 words)
