What do you hope to do after you graduate from High School? What kind of person do you want to be? What is your ideal Coco?

How is everything going ? It is my great honor to write this letter for you to make a self-
introduction.
My name is Coco. I am 14 years old . l come from China and now I am studying at grade eight
in Shanghai .This trip will be my first time leave home for study and live in a homestay family .I am looking forward to the life we will stay with each other and i am sure that we will have a good time.I heard that another girl come from China will also stay in your family with me and your family has Chinese background . I think it is very good, cause i am little bit shy , so that would make me feel like at home.
I would like to tell you something about me . I am not a very slim girl , as i like eating
food ,especial dessert . For me , cakes and chocolate are like medicine ,since they can let forget nervous , troublesome problems , unhappy things and so on, but i do not eat any spicy food. Other food is okay. What’s more , i also like eating seafood , as my hometown Zhejiang is close to sea . I like doing sports as well .For example , swimming , tennis , badminton, table tennis and so on. Actually, because of my heavy homework .I seldom have enough time to do some sports ,so l wish that i can have more time to relax myself with doing sports in Australia .
I think i am looking forward to study well in Australia to learn more things i can not study from China and i also hope that we will have a good time stay with each other.
Best wishes for you. Yours sincerely
Coco
