Dear host family,

My name is Olivia, and I am currently 16 years old. Next year, I will turn 17. I am eagerly looking forward to live with you soon and get to know your way of life.

In my home, I live with my parents and my older brother. Additionally, my grandparents also reside with us. During my free time, I am very active in sports and enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I also love cooking and baking, taking pictures, and listening to music. I have been involved in athletics since I was four years old, and I am interested
in starting to play soccer as well.

I am currently in the 10th grade, and my favorite subjects are sports, English, and music.

Participating in a student exchange is a unique opportunity for me to experience new things such as culture, ways of life, and much more. I would like to improve my English skills so that I can speak English confidently in the future and communicate effectively everywhere in the world.

I decided to participate in a year abroad because my mother did it, and it has always been clear to me that I would like to go abroad, especially to America.

I am very open to new experiences and enjoy learning new things. I am also very friendly and helpful. I adapt quickly to new environments and enjoy meeting new people. I am particularly interested in attending an American school to experience how it differs from
my current school.

Thank you so much for being willing to host me and provide me with this valuable experience. I look forward to meeting you in person soon and hope that we will have a great time together.

Sincerely,

Olivia
