Second part of my daughter's letter for her family host, if someone may could help us...

My favorite sport is swimming (not in a club, but independently). I swim in the

municipal pool two hours a week. I also practice running one half an hour per week. I

am passionate about singing. I was part of the choir of my college choir last year, we did performed a

concert in at a concert hall near my school. This year, we tried to found {or start} a band with two

friends by putting up posters in my high school. Lacking of candidates, we used to sing just with us all three (together) regularly. The Drawing (not in a club) is also one of my interests. I draw

whenever I have free time. I am subscribed to National Geographic magazine; I get

it every month. Finally, I like to do researches and to write (articles, various stories)

outside of school.

I love family activities. Among others, I like making cycle bike riding {or cycling, bicycle riding}, attending plays and

musicals, and I love to travel (I have been several times in to Italy*, once in to Sweden,

once in to London and once in to New York City).

I enrolled in an AFS program first to deepen my level in English and return back

bilingual. Indeed, after graduating, I aim to integrate a double dual law degree French/

English law, or French/American law. To reach my goals, I need an excellent English

level, so a summer stay abroad is ideal. Furthermore, I would immerse myself fully in

the life of a (an) Australian or a New Zealander.** Being in a host family and sharing

their daily life would be the best way to know a culture, and a country and thus expand my

general knowledge and my openness***. This would be an opportunity for me to get out

of the family environment for a long time and therefore to learn to adapt. I can

bring my French culture and share about our lifestyle and our habits. I hope to (be able to) help my

host family in their everyday life. Finally, I would like to create solid links {better="bonds"} with the family

and with the students of the high school that I will be attending.

*It sounds better to say "I've been to Italy several times"

**Or you could also say, "I would (completely) immerse myself in the culture and lead the life of a typical Australian or New Zealander.

***You could also say "broaden my understanding" here.
