FR015EM Y

Interests

Dance club, fashion, music, baking - SP

Letter to my Host Family

I live with my two parents, my older brother and my cat. I have a very good relationship with my family, who are a pillar in my life. We've always been very close and we support each other in important moments. I love sports, I've been doing it since I was a kid, and I've tried lots of different sports like handball, tennis, karate, swimming, basketball, hiking and cycling. Sport let me escape and relax, and I love the feeling of freedom it gives me. For the past 8 years, perhaps as a result of my mother's passion for dance, I've been taking Hip Hop classes. I do a show every year and it's really one of the best moments because all my friends and family are there and it's like a tradition every year. Sport isn't my only passion, I love listening to music, watching TV series and baking cookies. I also have an interest in fashion. This immersion for me is the perfect occasion to grow up personally, get out of my comfort zone, and improve my English. It would be a dream coming true, to be in an American high school watching the school teams play, participating in events like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the famous Prom. It would be unforgettable.

Letter to my Host Family

I’m very happy because for me spending five months in America is a dream come true! I have always wanted to live in the USA because I really love the lifestyle that the guys of my age have there, and I would like to know your culture. I love my family, during the week we are all busy in school, work, and sports, so we usually meet for dinner and talk about what we did during the day. During the weekend, we try to spend more time together at home or outside with our family friends. I attend a school focused on scientific subjects. I like all the subjects we study there but my favorites are science and physics because I like to understand how the world works. I have played basketball since I was 6 and I love it. I spend lot of time in the gym because we have five or six practices a week of 2-3 hours each. I love to cook, I’m not a very good chef but I can cook some Italian specialties like pasta, pizza, lasagna and much more. I love also skiing with my friends or with my father. I also like swimming and going to the beach.
