Carta pra Host Family


Devido a falta de tempo e de professor pra me ajudar, acabei tendo que pesquisar e me basear nas cartas de outras meninas. Alguns trechos peguei de uma chamada Thalita... não lembro da onde ela é, então se ela entrar aqui vai ver que to assumindo que copiei mesmo! Mas foram só uns trechinhos rsrs... espero que ela não fique brava. =)

Então vamo lá:

Hello host family!

My name is Mônica, I'm 26 years old and I would like to be an Au Pair for the next year. I'm majoring in Business Administration and I work with my father in his company that is responsible for xxxxxx. I live in a small town called Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, which is in the State of Espírito Santo. It is a very quiet town. My mother died when I was fifteen and my father remarried sortly after. I have a younger brother. He is twenty-three and he is alread married. I live with my father, my stepmother and her son, who is twelve. My brother also work in the company of my father and my stepmother is a housewife. We see each other almost every weekend. My family is very impotant to me and they always suport me and everything  that I am is because of them.

I can say that I'm really focused, responsible and also a very happy, easygoing, caring girl and I fit easily in new situations. By the way, I think that new situations in our lives are essential so there is personal development. I don't drink and I don't smoke, and I am not a party girl. I like a lot to be in a familiar ambient and to do familiar programs too. I've always wanted to be organized and independent. Since I was a child I learned to be brave and face my fears. I think it's very important when we have dreams. We have to chase them and make them come true.

About my daily routine, during my week I study English twice a week, go to college and help my stepmother, and with household chores. In my free time I like to do many activities like going to the beach, traveling, swimming, hiking, camping with my family and friends or just staying at home reading or watching a good movie. My friends always come to my house and they often bring their children too. We prepare lasagna or barbecue and we talk about life and make plans for us to meet once again. I am Catholic, so on Sundays I sometimes go to church. Sometimes on the weekend I take care of my nephew who is five years old and comes to my house to spend his time with us.

Well, I have chosen the Au Pair program because it will give me the opportunity for me to improve my English and get to know about another culture and these are very important for my personal and professional life. And, of course, I like a lot working with children and I have a good time with them. I've always had opportunit to take care of them because I am oldest daughter and oldest cousin, so I also take care of my brothers, nephew and cousins. I've had experience with children from 6 months to 15 years old. The activities I like to do with them is playing in the park, riding a bicycle, painting, doing crafts, reading for them, playing some sports and activities that develop they logical and physical skills.

During the program, I intend to learn a lot about your culture and I can teach mine. I believe I can teach your kids something and I will also learn from them. I expect to be their big sister and soon be considered as a family member. I am sure it will be a great experience in my life.   

I look forward to hearing from you.
With care and love,

Mônica.

  1. Que graciiiiinha que tu tá fazendo todas as coisinhas pra ser uma au pair
    Mônica, venho hoje com uma noticia boa pra ti! Sabes a agência Expert Au Pair? Te contar..
    eles fazem tudo online por não terem loja física aqui no brasil... é bem tranquilo e muitas meninas ja foram com eles :D e pq eu to te contando isso? PQ ELES NÃO EXIGEM CNH =D
    E outra: a inscrição é GRATIS, tu pode fazer o app online e e ficar online 3 dias depois e ir falando com as familias :DD fiz um post mostrando como preencher o app deles, e aiiii, eu acho que tu nao perde nada sabe Mô, pq além de ser de graça (vc só paga depois do match) se tudo der certo, tu nem vai precisar da cnh :D
    Agora faalando da tua cartinha: eu adorei, achei sucinta, mas vi uns errinhos, posso falar? hihi
    nessa parte vc quis dizer que é quem vc é hoje por conta da sua familia ne? "and everything I am nowadays was because they taught me." o certo seria: "And everything I know was because they taugh me, everything that I am, is because of them"
    "I like a lot being in a familiar ambient " - "I like a lot to be in a familiar ambient"
    "and activities that develop the logical and physical skills." - that develop THEY

    Eu adorei tua cartinha, tirando esses errinhos básicos, e acho que tu pode falar mais detalhadamente sobre sua experiência com as kids, eles gostam disso e vão querer saber que tipos de atividades tu pretende fazer com eles =D

    E é isso Mônica, tu sabe que qualquer coisa, eu to aqui, sempre torcendo por ti! Beijocaaaaa
