Witam was wszystkich po raz kolejny, to znowu ja : ) W końcu udało mi się trochę poprawić mój list do host rodzinki. Chciałabym wiedzieć co wy o tym sądzicie? Co poprawić? Nie jest ciut za długi ?
Dear future host family,
My name is Anna and I am 19 years old. I live in Łódź, the centre of
Poland. I live on the outskirts of the city in a detached house. I live
with my parents. I have really good relationship with them. My mother,
Jolanta, works in a junior high school as a math teacher. I love her
very much, she is very reliable and trustworthy, she is my best friend.
My father, Grzegorz, is an engineer. He finished electrical engineering
studies. Me and my dad perfectly understand each other due the fact that
we have the same sense of humor, we love the same type of movies and
music. I also have a brother and his name is Piotr. He is 27 years old
and he works as a journalist in the capital city of Poland- Warsaw.
Apart from my parents and brother, my family includes three animals. I
have two sweet cats Zosia and Kajtek and one dog Shogun. Shogun is the
most lovely dog I have ever met. Its breed is Akita Inu. He always wags
his tail when he sees me.
I have a very active lifestyle. My daily schedule is very busy. Besides
going to school I attend extra-curricular classes. I have got English
and geography lessons few times a week. I also practice ballroom
dancing. I have been dancing for almost 5 years, I train three hours six
times a week. It is my life passion. Besides dance, I practice figure
skating, mostly during the winter. I love doing spirals, spins or jumps.
Figure skating is my additional way of spending my spare time. When I
was younger I used to attend professional skating club but now I skate
for myself, just for pleasure. My next big passion is horse riding. It
gives me a lot of positive energy and joy. I love horses and I could
spend all my time with them. I am also a big fan of winter sports, I
love snowboarding and skiing. Me and my whole family always go to the
mountains during winter breaks. When I have more free time, I like
taking pictures, listening to music and hanging out with my friends. I
am very sociable so I cannot imagine my life without other people.
What about my childcare experience? As I said I practice ballroom dance
and my classes involve teaching children how to dance. I take an hour of
these classes twice a week for three years. I have a group of twenty
kids for whom I am responsible. I show them new dance steps and organize
gymnastics and keep-fit classes. Seeing their progress and happiness
from dance gives me lots of pleasure and satisfaction. I feel a strong
connection with them. From September to the late June I teach them in
regular classes. During the summer holidays I always go with them to
dance camps where I am obliged to supervise children not only in the
dance studio but all the time. It is a great form of spending free time
and strengthening my bond with kids. Moreover, because I have been
skating for a long time, I often teach youths how to skate properly. I
regularly give skating lessons to a four-year-old Alicja. I love to see
her smile during skating, I am sure she loves it. I also help my
mother’s friends looking after their children. I often take care of my
ex-teacher's three-year-old son Marek. She is very busy so I gladly help
her. I love spending time with her son. She knows that she can always
rely on me and that Marek is always safe and happy with me. I often take
him for a walk, play with him in the sandpit, teach him how to ride a
small, cute bike. We also do some arts and craft, we love to draw
together and sing songs. My responsibilities consist of changing diapers
and potty training, spoon feeding, preparing bottles with milk and
meals, reading tales and putting to bed. I am very proud of my
relationship with Marek. He doesn't treat me as a nanny, he treats me as
a part of his family. He calls me auntie Ania. When he says that he
makes me touched and brings tears to my eyes. I shall mention that I
worked as a volunteer in a kindergarten. Me and my older supervisor were
taking care of fifteen kids. It was a great experience. I had to have
my eyes all over my head and watch the kids all the time. I organized
there games, parties, prepared some competitions and trips. I also
taught children some easy words in English. Furthermore, I helped my
friend with his younger siblings Julia, Hubert and Mateusz. I had to
supervise them during the outdoor activities such as biking, walking to
the park, playing in the playground or swimming in the swimming pool. I
also helped them with their homework.
Regarding to my driving license I took thirty compulsory driving hours
and then I took ten extra lessons to improve my skills. Actually I am
waiting for my driving license exam.
Coming to the household duties, I must sincerely admit that I never
wriggle out of helping my mom or dad. Sometimes, when my mother comes
late from the work I am responsible for preparing dinner. I love
cooking, it makes me happy. However, preparing dinner is not everything.
I usually dust, vacuum, make beds, do laundry, wash dishes, or take my
dog for a walk.
I would like to be an au-pair because of a new experience I may gain
from it. I have always wanted to visit United States, meet Americans and
live with them for some time. It could be a great experience, full of
joy and excitement. I could become more independent. What is more I
could also improve my childcare and teaching skills and of course my
english. It would fulfill my dreams. There is no better way of getting
to know United States and the people than to stay with them for some
time. I want to be an au-pair and I am highly convinced I am ready for
it. I do believe that my stay with your family will be valuable for all
of us. I will be doing my best to meet your expectations as an au-pair. I
hope we will become friends or even almost a family!
Why should I become your au pair? I am responsible, reliable and
affectionate. I have a big heart for children. I am a cheerful,
hard-working, helpful and sociable girl. I love new experiences and I
easily adapt to new environment.
I hope you could get to know me better from this letter. I am ready to
get in touch with you at any time if you need some more information.
Please do not hesitate and contact me!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Anna.
