Dear my hostfamily,

Hi. My name is Eri. I’d like to introduce about me. I’m a collage student of KGU. I study English to develop my English skills, but I’m not good at English now. I want to become speak English well. I like cooking and animals very much. I often cook for dinner, and I like Japanese food. But I like eating food than cooking. Animals are so cute. When I find it, I usually approach it. I have visited zoo many times. I think I want to go there again these days. If you have a zoo, please take me there. I want to visit there of foreign country. I also like to go shopping. I want to go various stores. Let’s go together! I’m looking forward to eating many kinds of food, too.
I was born in Yamaga, Kumamoto. I also grew up there. There have many natural, traditional, and beautiful places. In summer, many people go to the valley. We can swim and dive from a large rock. It is so exciting. We have a very big rock which sung about in the Japanese anthem. The traditional place is called Yachiyoza. It is a playhouse. We hold many Japanese cultural events; Kabuki, Rakugo, Nou, and so on. When it is held, many people gather Yachiyoza. I think it is linked to vitality of our town.
Next, I introduce my family. There are three people in my family, my mother and my sisters. My mother is 49 years old, and she has her own bar in Yamaga. She works there five times a week. She said that it is very hard, but I enjoy my work. My sister become seventeen years old on July and she is a high school student. I think she is very earnest girl because she has a daily routine of study everyday. I can’t do it! I’m proud of my family. I love them very much.
I’m living alone near my school from last year. At first, I went to school from my original house, but it was too far to commute Yamaga to KGU. It took about two hours to go to school. I sometimes want to go back my original home, but I can not go back because I’m busy with school and part time job. I belong to a club. My club is E.S.S. It has about 40 people in our club. We hold a recitation contest and speech contest on Jun and February. We also gather every Wednesdays. We often go out for dinner and karaoke. I like my club members because they are very kind and interesting. This summer, we will go to Okinawa four three days. I’m really looking forward it.
I have many interesting friends, too. They are so insatiable for interesting thing. I have many strange friends. So is my boyfriend. They dance and sing suddenly. They like to do funny things. They make me happy. I cannot help laughing at them. But when I’m in trouble, they always help me.
