Dear my host family, Hello, I’m Shingo from Japan. I want to have a lot of fun with my host family in America. I make a year of this program fulfilling. I will try a new experience. I would like to be good at making people feel better. I watch anime and play Smartphone Games with my friends at home on weekdays. I play catch with a friend on a holiday, and I go to watch a movie and perform it in the amusement park. Out of all my hobbies, I like tennis the most. In addition, I like to go shopping by myself by bike, such as traveling a little far from here. I like softball and so on soccer in P.E. class. In club activities, I enjoy practicing with my seniors and juniors. I kept in touch with my seniors and juniors even after they graduated and built a good relationship. I want to be a friendly person and improve my English skills. Also, I hope to know how grateful I am for my family after I become self-reliant as a member of the family. I want to work related to tennis. For example, I want to be a staff that runs the international convention. I would like to advance my English skills and communication skills, so I want to be useful. My family consists of my father, my mother, my two sisters, and myself. My father is always funny and builds strong family ties. He goes snowboarding every week. My mother asks my family. She likes mountain climbing and buying a badge when she climbs a mountain. My eldest sister studies hard to be a nurse. She sometimes plays games with me. My second sister is at my own pace. She sometimes has fights with me. Thank you for reading this far. Let's have a fun year! Sincerely, Shingo
