Dear host family;
My name is Gaia Quinto, I'm sixteen and I live in Italy. My name in English means “Gaiety” and it represents me a lot. I'm eager to learn, to have good time, to be with people and look on the bright side of life. I'm an optimist by nature and full of vitality. I love doing new experiences and activities, visiting new places and learning new things (I'm extremely curious!). Everybody says about me I'm highly sympathetic, I always try to be kind and friendly and I'm persevering to achieve my aims.
In my family we are four (as you can see in the pictures) and we enjoy spending time together. My mother is a great cook, my father always says I'm like Lisa Simpson but more outgoing and nicer (my sweet dad!) and my brother loves the video-games.
Some news about me: my favourite books are “Pride and Prejudice”,“Twilight saga”and “Divina Commedia” of Dante Alighieri, an Italian author. My favourite films are “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Grease” and “Shrek”. My favourite foods are pizza, lasagne and beef.
I've been practicing competitive swimming for ten years but I couldn't continue due to many reasons, unfortunately. However I like keeping fit with my best friend Martina: she is really amusing and kind to me.
The idea of leaving Italy to go abroad was born last summer, coming back from England. I did three-week educational holiday and I thought I'd try that experience again, but for a longer period, obviously. I'd like to live as a real American girl and I believe the year in the US will make me stronger.
I'd like to spend time chatting with you (I'm a real chatterer). I'm positive next year will be the best and the most important of my entire life. It will give me the chance to grow up, to be more confident about my future life and to know other sides of my character. Studying in a regular school and speaking with English mother tongue people is the only way to really improve my English.
I thank you in advance for the extraordinary opportunity you may give me. I promise I'll do my best to be the best host daughter I can be.
With love, Gaia
E poi c'è quella dei miei genitori:
Dear perspective host family,
our name are Vittorio and Antonella, we are Gaia's parents and we are happy to introduce our daughter to you. Gaia is a very outgoing girl, she enjoy having fun, trying new activities and chatting with people. She likes to read books and watch Tv in English. Nowadays she's reading in English the first book of “Twilight saga”, which is very popular among teenagers.
She is sympathetic and everyone says she is smart and sweet. We enjoy spending time with her because she makes every situation more pleasant with her cheerfulness. At the same time we appreciate her moderation, balance and decision-making confidence. She is a truly gifted girl and is supported by a sense of moral righteousness and hard work ethic.
She has a strong scholarly attitude but she also enjoys normal girl activities. Nevertheless she is sometimes too modest and we hope this experience will prove Gaia her potential. Gaia shows strong motivation to leave to the US and she deploys all her energies to prepare for this great adventure; so we made up our mind to support her decision and permit her to apply for the student exchange program.
As you can imagine, we are at the same time both excited and worried about the new experience which she is going to live in the US, and we'll miss her but we are positive she'll manage to achieve her goals. This experience will enrich, not only her, but also you, who are so kind and generous to give her hospitality.
We are sure that wherever you live in the US she'll be able to adapt herself to a new environment and to share your everyday life. We thank you in advance to consider the opportunity to host her fairly as a new daughter.
Best regards, Vittorio and Antonella
