Chappy

I’ll introduce my pet. I have a dog. The species is Chihuahua, and color is black and white. He will be twelve years old this year.

His name is Chappy. I named him. He was born when I was second grade in elementary school, and he was born in my grandparents’ house. Elle, his mother, was took care by my grandparents and she had Chappy. Sadly, after six years, she passed away by car accident. But Chappy is really cheerful and healthful, so we are happy. I really love Chappy expect when he bark. His barking sounds is very noisy. If he found another dogs, he barks as if he got crazy. But at ordinary times, he is so cute! Sometimes, we sleep together. I’ll sleep with Chappy tonight, too.

Essay 1-01a: Letter to My Host Family

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I'm a freshman at KGU and my major is English. I'm 19 years old. I like music. I like listening to music, playing the piano, and dancing. In particular, I like K-POP from when I was a junior high school student, so I can dance to some of the songs. I like drawing pictures, so I want to draw the beautiful view in your country. These days, I’m interested in cooking, so I want to learn American home cooking. If there is a chance, I want to attend a home party because I want to study American social intercourse.

And I have some questions. The first one; is there anything you want me to bring from Japan? I do not mind anything, including food. Conversely, is there something that I should bring there? I'm not sure what is needed because this time is the first time studying abroad as I wrote before.

Next, please tell me about your family. I want to know how is your family constitution, how old you are, how should I call you, or something. In this connection, we are five in my family, my father, my mother, my younger sister, my dog, and me. 

Do you have any pets? I like animals, so I'm glad if you have any pets. I would like to buy something as a present to each of you, so I want to know. And then, is there anywhere to recommend me to do near your house? Though I can search on the Internet, I want to hear the actual voice of the local people. I want to make a plan when I stay there based on it at that. Please send me an email with the answer to these questions. I'm really looking forward to go and see you.

Lastly, I may cause trouble for you in the Homestay, but I hope for your kindness. See you soon!!
