人家常說:「在家靠父母,出外靠朋友。」

那萬一,沒父母也沒朋友在身邊的時侯? 還是乖乖靠自己吧!

自從收到代辦顧問傳來的寄宿家庭資料後,我就一直在考慮要不要寫信過去巴結(打個招呼)之類的。

經過各類人士的建議後,四天前,我把信寄出去啦!!

以下是我寄過去的信(沒給老師修改過,肯定文法有蠻多得改的)


 
 
Hi, My name is Chen Yi-Ching, and my English name is Anneshelly.
I am from Taiwan.
I will be your homestay student about 20 weeks for English classes.
I am very happy to have the chance to stay with you.
 
First, let me introduce myself and a little bit about my family.
I am easy-going but a bit shy.
I have many interests especially (特別是) reading, exercising(運動) and watching movie.
My favorite exercising is swimming.
I am not a fussy (挑食的) girl, but I am losing weight(減重) now.
 
In my family, there are my parents, my brother, my dog and my hamster.
My dad is an engineer (工程師)  and my mom is a housewife (家庭主婦), my brother is only one year older than me so  he is a high school student now.
 
Do you have anything want to mention (提醒) me first about the rules of home?
I want to be prepared (事先準備) before I go to your house.
By the way, I know I said I'll stay from 8th July, but because my family and I will go to Tasmania for a week, could I put some of my luggage(行李) in the house first when I arrive Brisbane?
 
Thank you for your patience to read this letter, please excuse that my English level is not very good.
 
Best wishes,
Anneshelly
 
PS. I have affixed (標定) some photos of me in this mail.

Hello Anneshelly.  It is lovely to hear from you and we are looking forward to you coming to stay with us.  We have some good friends who we have known for a long time that live on the Gold Coast and are also from Taiwan.

I will let you know a little bit about us.  In our family is Troy and myself (Tanya) and Jake the dog.  We have four children who are grown up, two sons (Christopher and Adam)  aged 31 and 28 and two daughters (Emily and Jordie) aged 26 and 22.  Our youngest daughter Jordie went to All Saints Anglican School and so we have hosted many students through the school. 

 

Our dog Jake is a black and tan dachshund and he loves people – he is very friendly and will be very excited that you are coming to stay.

 

Troy is a policeman and I work in a big Bank as a business analyst. We live in Broadbeach which is close to the beach and Pacific Fair (Pacific Fair is a major shopping centre) and Surfers Paradise.  We have a swimming pool so I am glad that you like to swim.

 

I understand that you are shy and you must feel a bit anxious coming to stay away from your family in a different country.  Please know that we are very friendly and will be very welcoming to you and will do everything we can to make sure that you settle in and feel at home.  Your English is very good and we can practice this with you when you are here.  We have set up your own bedroom for you which has its own bathroom and a desk for studying. 

 

We do not have many house rules and we can talk about this when you arrive. For starters we just ask that you:

  • always make sure that if you go out with your friends that you are home before it is dark and you let us know where you are and who you are with;
  • speak with us if there is anything at all worrying you;
  • let me know if there is any foods you don’t like or foods that you prefer; and
  • if you don’t understand anything please ask questions and tell us that you don’t understand.

 

You are very welcome to leave our luggage with us when you go to Tasmania.  Just let me know when you will be coming and we can organise this.

 

My phone number is xxxx xxxxxx and Troy’s is xxxx xxxxxx.

 

Please say hello to your parents for me and we look forward to meeting you soon.

 

Regards,

 

Tanya


收到回信真是太令人開心啦!

我媽一開始還很擔心寄宿家庭會不會因為我寄信然後不爽。(這邏輯詭異的連陳小黑都不會懂)

然後寄宿家庭竟然有泳池,那就不用擔心還要跟學校問可不可以放學留校游了。

Tanya 還說我是有自己的房間,並且裡面有單獨的浴室 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈(爽死)

接下來就等入住後看空閒時間介紹房間啦~
