Dear Mr and Mrs. Macintosh,

Greetings from Germany! My name is Gudrun and I’m coming to New Zealand soon to be your homestay guest. I’m writing to tell you about myself and to ask some questions. I’m getting really excited about the trip.

First, then, some information about me. I’m 19 years old and I’m a medical student in Berlin. My father and mother are both doctors. I have an older brother who is studying business in Geneva. I like reading and cooking, and I also play the piano.

There are some things I’d like to ask you. if you don’t mind. Do you have any pets? I’ve always wanted to stay with a family with a dog or cat? Another question I’d like to ask is whether or not you can cook vegetarian food. Finally, do you by chance have a piano? I really should keep practising, if possible.

I’m arriving in Christchurch on SIA 337at 15.35 on the 12th January. I hope you will be able to meet me.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon and I’m getting really excited about the trip.

Yours sincerely,

Gudrun
