Dear Host Family, Thank you so much for being willing to participate in the exchange program and accepting me to live with your family. I am a 16 year old Brazilian boy and I want to have the experience of living and studying abroad. I want to learn about American life and culture. I love playing and watching soccer. I am very dedicated, hard-working, and creative. I love traveling and going to the beach, I like to go out with my friends, to go to the cinema, to play videogames, to go to the gym and watching series. I want to study and live in the United States because I am sure it will be a unique experience. I want to experience the country, meet people, make friends, and enjoy this opportunity. And I especially want to know how is the american highschool. In Brazil, I study in the morning and go to school from Monday to Friday. On Mondays I play soccer and then I study for the tests. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have English classes in the afternoon and exams at school in the morning. I go to the gym 3 times a week and on Fridays I play soccer with my friends. I live with my mother, father and sister. Usually, on weekends, I spend Fridays with my friends and Saturdays with my family. I like spending time with my sister and watching UFC with my dad. I am very excited to become part of your family and share with you a little bit of Brazil! Warm regards, Lucas
