    Dear Ms. Watanabe,

    Thank you for being my "host" in Japan. I' m really looking forward to staying with you! Now let me tell you something about myself.

    My name is Claire Murphy and I' m twenty-two years old. I come from Adelaide, Australia. I'm studying nursing (护理) in a university in Sydney now It's hard work but I have lots of fun.

    On the weekend, I like to go to concerts or go swimming with my friends. I also enjoy playing the piano. I' m learning it from my sister' s friend, and I have lessons every Tuesday and Friday.

    I have two sisters Tina and Wendy and a brother Bob. Tina is the oldest one, and she is working in a hospital. Wendy is younger than me, but she is taller. She is still at high school. We all grew up in Adelaide. Wendy and Tina still live there with my parents, but Bob and I are studying in Sydney now. We get on well but all sisters fight sometimes!

    I am very excited about visiting Japan next month and meeting you because I love to travel and experience new things. I think it's going to be great!

    Thank you again. Best wishes to you!

                                                              Best regards,

                                                              Claire
