Now we need to mail to Herr Fuchs and his students at Hebel some introductory letters. Everyone from Enloe who is hosting an exchange student should type a letter, in clear and standard English, to their exchange student. The letter should express the following sentiments and ideas.
- Excitement at the prospect of hosting the student in Raleigh.
- A little bit about yourself: activities, hobbies, amount of homework, personality, etc.
- Something about the accommodation: their own room?
- foods and meals you typically eat or have at home
- Siblings in the house.
- Pets in the house.
- The neighborhood you live in
- How you get around the area; to school, etc.
- Ideas on what to do in Raleigh
- Questions for them?
- How they should respond to your letter: email? phone? airmail? facebook?
- Include your full address and telepone number in your letter.
- Include a recent snapshot of yourself, and maybe even pictures of your home and neighborhood.
- A holiday Greeting - in German AND English!
Please give me these letters and photos, stuffed in an unsealed envelope, by next Thursday, December 11, 2008.
Enloe students going to Germany will also prepare a Steckbrief to send along with these letters.
Download one version of the Steckbrief by clicking one of the following links below. I have three versions: MS Word, Openoffice (*.odt), Rich Text Format (*.rtf). Open the file in your WP of choice, type in your answers to the questions, print it out, and paste a recent, color snapshot of yourself on the front page. On the second page there is some extra empty space; include a second picture there if you like.
