Please write a letter of introduction to your future American roommate or host family. Please describe yourself. What are your likes and dislikes, hobbies and interests? What activities and organizations do you hope to participate in while in US? What are your home and community like? What accomplishments of yours are you most proud of?

Should not exceed 1000 words

Dear host family,

My name is Farruh, I am 20 years old and I live in Urgench, Uzbekistan. My friends simply call me Fara or Akimich (referring to my family name Akimov). Currently, I am a student of International Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) in Tashkent. By now, I am going through my second year at the Banking and Finance faculty. I can say for sure that I am quite good at Math and Computer Technology, because we had special courses taught at MDIS. Before my graduation, I think of taking some time out of my academic program to have a different life experience. I am already aware that being an exchange student is very challenging, but I am ready for this journey.

As I write this letter, I remember how I was describing myself 10 years ago in my school time, but so far there were so many changes in my entire life that had an enormous influence in shaping my personality. These days, I live with my friends in Tashkent far away from my family, leading a complete independent life almost for three years. Independence gave me lots of experience in terms of my personal and intellectual development. Personally, living apart has become a positive challenge for me, because I taught to be manageable both with my time and my personal expenses. Probably, my friends would describe as an ambitious, communicative, funny and bubbly person. What my friends like is my communication skills, because there is always something that I can think of to keep up the conversation. Besides, I feel myself comfortable around people, which helps me to adapt easily to new atmosphere or make a friend with a complete stranger in a second.

Probably, when you ask my parents they would say that their son is the one who always wants to try new things. My strong passion towards travelling brought me to states on my summer vocation, where I had one of the best experiences of my life and now I have so many wonderful memories that there is no enough space in this letter to write them all. I was so surprised to see how kind and warm most of American people. Today, I can doubt that here in Central Asia or anywhere else, people would be so happy to help or support an outsider. It was an amazing trip to America that I often remember with the hopes and thoughts that someday I will bring my family there.

We are only two children in our family, me and my sister with whom I used to spend most of my free-time. For many years, we had lots of positive and memorable moments that bond us together. My sister tells me that I am very calm and interesting person. What she likes is my energy and humor that makes her laugh all the time. I can say that I try to keep myself in peace of mind, in spite of any problems or difficulties following me. Perhaps, that is the reason why my sister describes me as a calm brother, because normally I don't like showing my anger or feeling of nervousness.

I don't like when people lie to me by looking into my eyes or speak something bad back to me, because I am in nature open and straightforward person. I appreciate when people call me aside to talk to me privately if they don't like something about me. I value people who are honest, supportive and positive with whom I often try to make friends and easily can find a common language. When it comes to environment, I can say for sure that I am a fan of something "noisy", for this reason I am fully aware that I am tolerable with the noisy atmosphere, feeling myself more comfortable around people rather than being alone in a quite place. I am keen on sports, amateur of playing on piano and nature-lover. I am really proud to say that I was so successful at boxing, being awarded several times for having final rounds won. Couple of times, I was named and awarded as the best defender of "Spartak" football team. To be honest, I have never had piano classes, but I used to learn to play on it from my sister. Surely, I am for eco-green environment, because it has passed down on me after my father who loves nourishing our backyard.

I have come from a good and civilized community, where young people are taught to be polite with elders. Urgench is my hometown, the place where I grew up, went to school and spent most of my time living with my family. It is not a big city, having only one trading center and being well-known as a good place for agricultural work. However, what my city lacks is the "green" color, literally there are not that much of trees and beautiful landscapes as in our capital- Tashkent. Frankly, I don't know much about organizations in US, but I would love to participate in parties that go for "green protection".

I hope you could understand what kind of person I am after reading my letter to you. But, there is so much to say that I cannot write them all in this piece of paper. Hope to be an excellent student and a good guest in your home.

Thanks a lot.
Farruh

Sounds a little like a cliche..

Try to change the structure of this sentence.

I was so surprised to see how kind and warm most of the American people were .

It was an amazing trip to America that I often remember with the hopes and thoughts that someday I will bring my family there.

There are only two children in our family, me and my sister with whom I used to spend most of my free-time

For many years, we have been experiencing lots of positive and memorable moments that bond us together.

I don't like when people lie to me by looking into my eyes or slander me secretly , because I am in nature open and straightforward person.

I am keen on sports, an amateur piano-player and a nature-lover

but I used to learn to play on it from my sister
to learn playing...

However, what my city lacks is in the "green" color, literally there are not asmany trees and beautiful landscapes as in our capital- Tashkent

I hope you could understand what kind of person I am after reading this letter.

But, there is so much to say that I cannot write it all in this piece of paper.

Good job.
Hope this helps.
