Dear Host Family,

I am very pleased that you are reading my letter right now. I will try to tell as much as possible about myself, so you can get to know me as much as possible. I am sorry for my clumsy English, but Im sure I will improve my English after ayear in USA.

I am a sixteen years old girl from the exotic Norway in Europe. I will be seventeen years old when I come to USA.

My spare time is like Some much to do, but so little time I play the bassin a band. We practice every Monday.

I've been member of a theatre group since I was around 13 years old. Therefore I have played in 3 different theatre productions. I thinkdrama is great, because you learn so much about yourself.

My friends would describe me a very social person. I am not shy at all and I think its fun to meet new people .I am very active as well, and I have tried a lot of activities and sports during my life. Like Gymnastics, Table tennis, Freestyle/disco jazz dance, Jazz-ballet, horseback riding and tennis. Of these things dancing is my favorite. I have been taking part in a lot oflocal dancing stage shows during the last years.

I live in Norway. I think the nature here is great.

During my time thereI got to see a lot of typical American stuff. Like fast food restaurants, spectacular highways andbeautiful beaches, but I think USA is much more than that. Iwonder how its like being a High School student in USA. Is it like on TV, or totally different?

Here where I live it is a cold climate, but usually hot in the summertime. We have forest and small lakes not far away, but its often too cold to bath there. If I want to go to a real beach I would have to drive [for a long time].

I think it would be cool to spend a year in USA. Im sure I will get the opportunity to do a lot of typical American stuff.

I hope you found my letter interesting, and I hope to hear from you soon. :-)

Sincerely yours,
Hilde
