Dear Host Family

Dear host family,

 My name is geooooge. I’m a freshman of the KGU. I major in English. I’m 21 years old. In fact, I went to another university. I was a student of the engineering department but I felt that I was unsuitable for the department. At first, I wanted to study Japanese, so I studied to enter the Japanese department. I took the exam to enter the department and passed it, but I wanted to enter KGU because of the curriculum I saw when I researched about universities. I was interested in some classes, such as sociology, introduction to the history of Western World, and theory of American culture. Now, I enjoy my university life.

 KGU is in Kumamoto and I live in Shimasaki, Kumamoto city. There is a bus stop, a train station, a hospital, a mountain and Kumamoto Castle nearby my house. It is convenient and a good place. I like my hometown. What sights are nearby your house?

 I live with my family, my mother, my father, my sister, and me. I’m a teacher at a cram school as a part time job, so I’m interested in educating children. Do you have any children? How many people are there in your family?

 I like to play sports and, I specially like to do Judo. I have done Judo for 3 years in high school. The practice was hard, and my house was far from high school but it seemed to be a good thing for me. I’m not good at playing sports. I didn’t like to play them, but I got confidence in those 3 years. Do you like to play sports? If so, what sports do you like?

 Also, I like to read comics and books. I buy the weekly Jump every week. Comics make me excited. By the way, my favorite authors are Ryu Murakami, Ryotaro Shiba, and Tsuyoshi Mori. Ryu Murakami wrote novels and essays, and he made films. Ryotaro Shiba is a novelist, but he wrote travels too. Tsuyoshi Mori is a mathematician but he wrote essays. These days, I read “The Chrysanthemum and the Sword” which was written by Ruth Benedict, an American cultural anthropologist. It was written to understand Japanese after World War II. Do you like to read? What’s the best book you’ve ever read?

 I’m looking forward to visiting you! See you!
