Dear My Host Family

Hello, my name is Yoshimasa T. I am very happy to stay your home. Please let me introduce myself. I’m nineteen years old. My birthday is October 27th. I was born in Kumamoto prefecture. I will have been lived in Kumamoto for twenty years next year. I am a student of Kumamoto Gakuen University. I usually go to school by bicycle. If it is rainy day, I go to school by car. My favorite food is chicken. When I go to restaurant, I always order chicken. I also like sweets. For instance, I like chocolate cake, steamed bun and so forth. 　I like to eat very much. Then, I will introduce about my family. I have no brothers and sisters.　I have a small family. We are a family of three; my father, my mother and I. My father is forty seven years old and my mother is forty three years old. I and my father particularly get along well. So my father and I do and talk as if we are a friend or brother. My father is substitute of my brother.
I have a lot of hobbies. Especially, I like to play basketball. When I was a junior high school student, I began to play basketball. As I don’t have so quick reflexes, I cannot play well at first. But I took part in all the practices everyday and my skills were gradually increased. So, now to play basketball is my hobby. I play basketball every Mondays with my friends. We borrow a gym and play some games. It makes me happy. I often watch sports on TV like soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball. I also like to listen to music so much. I often listen to music while I go to school; I want to relax and so on. My favorite artist is B’z. The vocal’s voice is so high and cool. I have all the CDs that they released. I would like to go to their concert with my friends. I spend much money for them. I like Michel Jackson too. My favorite songs are Beat it, Black or White, Bad and Thriller.
I was very sad when he died last year. He left a lot of legends. I think his name remains in the future.
I work swimming instructor as a part time job. I chose this job, because I like children very much. Children’s smiling faces make me happy. I found it is difficult to teach something other people. I learned many things while I’m working.
I have studied English for seven years. In fact, I didn’t like to study English in my junior high days. But, When I was fifteen years old, I thought English is very interesting. It was so close to my life. One day, I want to know the word “Aquarius” means. After I knew that means, I was attracted the interest of English. So I decided to go to University. I would like to master great English skills. I want to meet you early. I’m looking forward to meeting you! (509words)
