Essay 1-01b: Dear host family (revision)

Dear host family,
Hello, my name is Asuka Yoshioka. I will be twenty years old in July this year. I go to KGU in Kumamoto. I’m studying English everyday. I’m also studying Spanish a bit. I live in Kumamoto city near the university. My sister lives together with me. I have a part-time job. I work at Chinese noodle house. I like Chinese noodle best of all menu. I have saved money to stay with you. My hourly wage of part-time job is eighty hundred yen. It is high wage, but the job is very hard! So I will quite this month. I’m finding new part-time job.

I made a lot of friend in this university, so I want to make friends, too. The reason why I go to America is that I want to speak English fluently. I’m not good as at speaking English as I’ am at writing, so I want to speak English very well by listening to native English.

Another reason is that I want to be positive. If anything, I’m negative, so I want to be positive by getting to know foreign people who have a different culture. Please tell me about American culture, and I will tell you about Japanese culture. What I’m looking forward to the most in America is sightseeing. In America, there are many tourist attractions. I want to go to Disney land, Universal studio, and other places. I went USJ in Oosaka, Japan two times. First time, I went there with my family when I was a elementary school student. Second time, I went when I was a junior high school student by school trip.

Maybe there are many places I don’t know. Where is the most valuable for going? I’m excited because I have never been to a foreign country. However, I’m worried about my home-stay, so tell me everything that I don’t know or I’ll make mistakes. I’m looking forward to meet you this summer.

Sincerely yours (331)
