,
Weil mir grad extrem langweilig ist (und euch sicher auch ;P), da sich in den frühen Monaten des Jahres einfach noch nichts austauschjahr-bezüglich (wow, was'n wort) tut, langweile ich euch jetzt mit meinem Student Letter. Also dem Brief an die Gastfamilie ... naja könnte ja für Hopees ganz interessant sein.
| Dear Host Family, I am Alexandra and first of all I want to thank you for giving me the chance to become an exchange student in the "country of the boundless possibilities" and to take part in your daily life. Now I want to tell you something about me and my life. I come from Germany and I live with my mom, my stepfather, my older sister and my two cats. I also have two step-siblings but they have their own apartments. I'm 15 years old. On a typical school day I get up at 5:30 a.m. and breakfast with my family. The school starts at 7:30 a.m. I need only 5 minutes by bike to school. This is very practical. I have got between six and eight lessons per day. One lesson takes 45 minutes. We have always three lessons and then a break of 20 minutes. My favorite subjects are English, Spanish and geography. Of course there are also subjects I dislike for example physics and chemistry but I like going to school because I meet all my friends there and lessons are very interesting in the subjects I like. With my French class I spent a week in France where I took part in an exchange program. We spent one week with another family. We saw a lot of things and I really enjoyed it there even though we had a bad weather. The school ends about 3:30 p.m. for me. When I arrive at home my mom and my stepfather are still working. My mother works as an archivist and my stepfather works as a motor mechanic. So I'm alone or I invite my best friends for an hour. Then we start to cook and to talk rubbish or we watch TV and laugh a lot. Anyway we always have fun. When my friends are gone I do my homework and learn for school until my parents come home. Then we have dinner together and talk about the day. Afterwards I sometimes watch TV or go to bed and read. Our school doesn't offer many activities but every Tuesday I go to a "musical club" which takes place in a School for Creative and Performing Arts. I love the musical club. We dance, sing and act and in the end of the year we have a great performance with an audience of several hundred people. This is so exhausting and exciting but I just love it to be on stage. Occasionally I also ride horses. I love horses but I have too little time and we do not have a horse farm around. On weekend I meet my friends and then we go shopping, sing karaoke, have a DVD evening or just a girls' night. I think I need people around me but sometimes it's all haywire and then I need time for myself just to relax and calm down. Then I enjoy reading a book, listening to music or just watching TV. My friends often describe me as sociable and warmhearted. They say my best qualities are my helpfulness, my intuition and my kindness. Certainly I also have failings. Sometimes I'm a little bit too communicative (for example in the lessons) and my parents say I'm a bit messy. I don't know exactly what I want to become, but I think about studying media design. But first I want to see as much as possible of the world. I don't know exactly when I discovered my enthusiasm for America but I think it was around four years ago when I realized that all the TV series, all the great actors and actress and all the cool technology come from America. Then I heard about the "American Way of Life" and the "school spirit" and I was avid. This impressed me and I knew that I wanted to go to the U.S.A. So now you know a little bit about me and why I want to visit your country. I hope now it's easier for you to make a decision. And again a huge "Thanks" for thinking about to take an exchange student. Sincerely yours, Alexandra bla bla bla ! Ich weiß auch nicht, warum ich damals so'n langweiligen Mist geschrieben habe. Als ob meine Gastfamilie das deutsche Schulsystem jetzt so brennend interessieren würde -.- Ich hab eigentlich viel zu unpersönlich geschrieben ,finde ich heute.Naja sh*t happens , was solls . Mit diesem unheimlich poetischen Satz verabschiede ich mich heute ;) |
