Introduction for my host family

Dear host parents in New Zealand.

My name is Mayu. Thank you very much for your kindness to accept me in your family. It has been my dream to go abroad since I was a child so it’s my first time to visit New Zealand. I can’t wait for this summer.

I’m a sophomore at KGU and I study English. I have long brown hair and I’m a shy and serious person. My hobby is listening to music and I especially listen to Japanese pop music so I’d like to learn about New Zealand music. I also like eating but I can’t eat spicy food. I’m working part-time in McDonald's so I want to go to McDonald's in New Zealand and eat the special menu.

I live with my parents in Kumamoto and I don’t have any brothers or sisters. If I have free time, I often go out with my friends and go shopping. In the future, I’d like to travel abroad and use English in my work.

My English speaking skills are limited but I will try my best to learn to speak English. Please help me. I was surprised to know that there are more sheep than people in New Zealand. I rarely have contact with animals in Japan so I want to see many animals. I’d like to go to the sky tower in Auckland too. I’d like to learn everything about your country. Thank you again for accepting me into your home. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Bye,

Mayu
