Hello!! Nice to meet you!!

Dear Host family,

Hello. My name is Machiko. I am a student of KGU. I am English major. I am 19 years old. I live in Ozu town, Kumamoto. Ozu is a very beautiful town. Ozu has a panoramic view of Aso. I live in the country but my home near the airport and a station. So it is near Kumamoto city. It is good spot.

I love movie, sports, reading and music. I was a member of the volleyball club when I was a junior high school student. I like to play volleyball and I like watching sports. I like soccer in particular. What sports do you like? I often go to the cinema on weekends. I saw a movie recently. That movie’s name is ONEPIECE. Do you know ONEPIECE? ONEPIECE is a Japanese comic book. I saw this movie, I was moved to tears. I love Japanese comic books. I want to present a few Japanese comic books. Always, I buy the pamphlet after seeing the movie. I have many pamphlets in my home. If you like movies, I want to talk about movies.

I am interested in history and culture. So I want to learn New Zealand history and culture!!

My specialty is calligraphy. I took up calligraphy when I was 7 years old. Last year, I obtained an assistant instructor’s license.

I have six people in my family; my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, younger brother and me. My brother is a high school student. How many people in your family? My home is a farm family involved in another business. Sometimes my brother and I help farming. It is very hard but very interesting.

I have dream of becoming interpreter or an archeologist. It was for that purpose that I have to study more. I heard New Zealand has a shortage of water. What should I pay attention to during my stay in your home? I want to learn many things. Please tell me about various things.

Sincerely yours,
Machiko
