Essay 1-01a: Dear Host Family

Hello! My name is Kana. I’m nineteen years old and I am studying English in KGU. There are four people in my family. I have a younger sister and she is sixteen years old. She is good at playing tennis, so we sometimes play tennis together on Sunday. How many people are there in your family?

I live in Kumamoto and there are many beautiful places and natural scenes. Kumamoto is famous for Kumamoto castle and my favorite place is Mt. Aso. I sometimes go there with my family on the weekend. I obtained a driver’s license last summer, so I took my family there last month. Where is the famous place in your country? Also, please tell me the climate in your country.


Next, my hobby is ballet and I have taken lessons in ballet for four years. It is a lot of fun for me to dance. Do you like sports? I also like watching soccer games and baseball games.


My special ability is calligraphy. I like it very much, so I want to teach it to you and I want to tell you about Japanese traditions. In contrast, I’m not good at cooking but I can bake cakes and cookies. My favorite food is cheese cake. What is your favorite food?


Finally, I teach English to junior high school students in a cram school. Teaching English is difficult but it is fun. My character is shy and I have never been abroad. So, I am a little worried about it, but I’m looking forward to seeing you.
