Essay ver.2

Hello. My name is Chihiro N. First of all, thank you for your kindness to accept me in your family. I’m so glad. Now, let me introduce myself.

I’m 19 years old and I will be 20 on next my birthday. I am a KGU student and study English everyday. I live in Kumamoto prefecture in Japan.
I like peaches, chocolate, hamburgers and pork, but I don’t like eggplant, melon, celery and fish. I love sports, especially I love badminton and volleyball. I often play them; what’s more, I often watch their games on TV. I have many hobbies, for example, listening to music, cooking, reading books, playing with my dogs, and so on. I like cooking, so I’d like you to teach me how to cook traditional dishes. When I have free time, I listen to music. I like listening to J-pop music. My favorite J-pop singer is Arashi who is a famous and popular singer in Japan. They make me so happy! Also, I like foreign pop music, for example, MADONNA, Backstreet Boys Delta Goodrem and Celine Dion. I also like to go to movies. Another thing I enjoy is playing with my dogs. If you have dogs, I’d like to play with your dogs.
I have a big family. It consists of eight people, my mother, my sister, my aunt, my two cousins, my grandma and my grandpa. In addition, I have two dogs. I love my family because they always kind to me and I’m proud of them.

Then, I describe myself. I have some characteristics, for example, I’m very shy and sentimental, but always vigorous. I’ll tell you what I look like. I’m a teenage and I have dark brown eyes. I also have some dimples, but I have few moles on my face. I have straight brown hair and I always wear earrings. I’m average height and weight. Can you picture me?

I have some questions. Do you like Japan? I want to many Japanese things, for example, Japanese games, dishes, culture and so on. Moreover, I wish I can teach you the Japanese language.
This is my first homestay; naturally I have never been to New Zealand. Have you ever been to Japan before? What impression of Japan do you have?
This is my first time, so I am anxious, but I’m looking forward to meet you and your family very much. Thank you and see you soon. (398 words)
