what to write in a letter to japanese host family

You've applied for an substitution and at present you have to write a alphabetic character to your host family. What do you say? How do you start? How formal should you lot be? Today with the guidance of yours truly, you should be able to feel confident in writing your own host family letter of the alphabet. (If you besides need to write a letter of the alphabet to your host family in their linguistic communication (if y'all're going to a country that doesn't speak your native tongue) I'll mention that at the stop as well)

Since I'thou going on exchange, I've written my host family alphabetic character already and I'one thousand going to tell you lot what I included to give you an insight as to what you should write.

Starting the letter: Overall your letter of the alphabet should be fairly informal but however polite – after all, these are the people who are going to accept you into their abode for x amount of time, you'd better make a good first impression.

Outset off the letter by writing 'Dear Host Family', this is how I had to start my letter as it'due south what my programme told me to practise. Begin by stating your name, your historic period, where you lot're from, and giving them a short idea of what y'all're like as a person. E.g. bubbly, charismatic etc.

Things to include: Hither are a few suggestions as to what you could include in your alphabetic character, these are also all of the things that I put into my letter of the alphabet to my host family (each bullet indicate represents a new paragraph):

• Write well-nigh your family unit – say who'south in your family and what they do, for example their task(s). You tin can add their ages as well just information technology's not necessary. You can say who yous get along with the best (generally with regards to siblings) and of course you can likewise include any pets that y'all accept.
• Tell them about your schooling – include what subjects y'all take or take taken, the grades that y'all have (or your predicted grades if you don't have any GCSEs yet), also as the discipline that you enjoy the most. Please remember not to add which subject yous dislike, yous want to create a positive impression and then talking almost your dislikes will hinder you from doing and then.
• Mention your hobbies – what y'all like about them, why you similar them, and how long you've been interested in them.
• Talk most what yous hope to do after your commutation – what are your hopes for your schooling? What is your dream career that you're going to work towards? And mention how the commutation is going to benefit yous equally a person.
• Say why you want to go on exchange to your host country – mention why that item country interests you and how you became interested in information technology.
• Make sure that you thank your potential host family! Once more, they're the ones who will care for you, make food for you (which is especially important ♪(´ε｀ )), and volition open upward their dwelling house to you. The least you could do at this bespeak is thank them.

Aaand that's that! That'south everything that I included in my letter and it ended up existence 2 pages long! The length of your host family letter depends on your exchange programme, they volition tell you how long it needs to be and if not, merely ask them. Better safe than lamentable! But personally, my alphabetic character had to be two pages long.

If you have to write to your host family unit in their language likewise (if you're going to a foreign country) then simply mention a few of these points; mention the ones that seem the most important to y'all. Once again, the length of this letter of the alphabet will be given to yous by your plan but I just had to write a page (handwritten).

That'south all that I have to say for this post! Luckily it'due south shorter than my other posts but hopefully it's yet helpful. My side by side post will be on the interview stage of the application process and so go on an center out for information technology (*´꒳`*).

As e'er, thank you for reading and good luck on your exchange!

じゃあね〜^^
