Udkast til Parent letter

Dear host familiy,

Than Thank You for considering our son, Toke as an exchange student for the School year 2016/2017

Toke is raised in a small town in Denmark with around 5000 inhabitants and has always been in a comfortable environment in the same town and spending all years at the same school - we are a stable family of five; farther Normann, mother Anette, younger brother Christopher and the family dog Oskar.

Toke is ; he is a bright and pleasent young teenager that is quite quiet and calm on a daily basis. He calm and quiet; he is in many ways taking care of himself on a daily basis and needs only general parental guidance. He is taking care of his school in a proper manner and is doing his homework as expected.

He gets along with his 4 year younger brother very well and helps in the family when its needed; not always at free will though  Toke has always been a strong character and has never been scared or unsecure about leaving home and staying over at other locations or with other people for a longer period of time.

Toke is good to make friends and helping others, one of the special things we always notice is that even if the grades in school are fine, one of the thing that his teachers always mention when we are present at school-home interviews, is that beside he is a good student, the most noticeable part is the way that he interacts with most other students and are taking care of the weaker students in the class, and he is pushing the work in groups for a fitting result. So hes his social skills and awareness are very high.

In his freetime he has interest in esports e-sports on the computer, where he spends parts of his life gaming online and chatting with fellow gamers around the world (both adult adults and other kids - as far away as New Zeeland). 

...

Toke has a strong passion (and is not afraid) for new experiences in generel, and the wish for going to the states are his own and he is very determined in that way; part of the interest came from former exchange-students holding speeches on his school about the live of an exchange student.

Best Regards,

Normann, Anette & Christopher
