Dear Host Family, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Darlin, and I’m very excited to have the opportunity to spend the upcoming year with you in the United States. A little about me: I come from Germany, and I enjoy doing things like drawing, photograph, go out with friends or just being creative on my own. In my free time, I love cooking and baking. I also like to go out and play with my dog. I have a strong interest in animals because I have a few pets of my own. I decided to do an exchange year because I’m really eager to learn about different cultures and improve my English. I’m looking forward to experiencing life in the US and seeing how it’s different from my home country. I believe this year will be full of new experiences and learning opportunities, and I’m grateful to have the chance to live with you during this time. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all and getting to know each other better. I’m sure we’ll have a great time together! Warm regards, Darlin
