Essay-1 Self introduction

Dear host family.
Let me introduce myself. My name is spelled C-H-I-E, I'm from Kumamoto Japan. I'm majoring in English, so I like English the best of all the subjects.

I had studied English in the United State for about a year and stayed with a host family in Texas. I cannot express how much I enjoyed the time with Powell's family. Every moment was just perfect. The purpose of my homestay was to see the American way of life, it was good chance to make friends.

Living and studying in foreign country were harder than expected. But I enjoyed making friends with not only American people but also people from various countries. My life in the United State was very fun but I sometimes had a hard time. It was when I couldn't tell my thought in English. From this experience I learned that the most important things were trying to communicate and being friendly.

I had many chance to meet new things. It was very exciting. I had never forget to be curious about knowing American culture and compared with Japanese culture. Learning in new language and culture was a main purpose of studying abroad. And challenging was the key to make a home stay wonderful. I believe that this great experience will influence to make my future life better.

By the way, I have decided study harder so that I'll be able to speak better when I see you some day. Once again, thank you very much for hosting me and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
I hope we have much to speak about.

We practiced interview for speaking final.
Our group wrere 4 member and talk about own speach each 4 topic's.
Then I couldn't my claim and good qutestion to other member, because i had no idea for them and couldn't put my ideas together come up with these topic.
So, I need practice more and have good my mined, i guess.....
But i think that just only talk about my mind or idea at final interview, it is not good skill.
If i can good question for others and extend our interview topic in this speaking final, it's better.
Then, I will try my best and don't give up!!!
