Hi, I must wrote this essay, its my first essay in this range. So I'll be glad if somebody could help me. Iï'm going to the USA to the High school.

Dear host family,

My name is David. I was born and raised in beautiful country of Czech Republic; which is located in Middle Europe. I live in a big apartment, within walking distance of Prague centre. Prague is the capital of Czech Republic. I'm visiting a High school ï Gymnasium Nad ïtolou. A gymnasium is a type of school providing secondary education, comparable to English grammar schools or sixth form colleges and U.S. college preparatory high schools. The gymnasium prepares students to enter a university for advanced academic study. I want to go to the University.

My favorite subjects are: English ï because I like English and I've got awesome teacher. It's sometimes annoying (grammar), but mostly we learning new things. I also like psychical education, because we're playing sports. I learning French, it's difficult but in spite of I like it too. History is nice subject, but only specific parts of it. I like middle ages, and 20th century. I think that are my favorite subjects.

Like I already wrote, I learning English, French, and this year I started Latin. I am learning French in school and in the Institut Franïais du Prague for 6 years and if it will be possible I want to continue in this. Latin I started this year in our school. And finally English, I've got 8 years. I started in elementary school: it was easy. But year after year it has been harder and harder. I want to learn English, because its gate to the world (foreign countries), if you can speak English, you can easier get job. Maybe I want to live in the USA. And it is everywhere e.g.: cinemas mostly play movies in original version with Czech subtitles, on the internet, in the adverts etc.

I live with my family in Prague 7, its one of district which is next to the center of the city. It's a quiet district. It is near the park Stromovka. Our flat is in 5th floor in building with 6 floors. We live in the big apartment, in spite of it I have to share my room with my younger sister. We' we got enormous room, but I rather have got smaller room only for me. This is impossible to make only my room.

My sister's name is Kristin, she is 3 years younger than me. She is 14. She is studying at the French gymnasium. Her free time is spent learning all the time something to school. She is shy and it's difficult to get close to her. She likes to ride a horse, dancing zumba, and computer. Occasionally she provokes me, and I her. But sometimes I just want get rid of her. But she stills my small sister.

My mother Monika works as head of trade licenses for our district. She is very busy by working. She is very strong and good person. She works, cleans (our flat) or hanging out with her friends. She is responsible and the head of our family. She likes traveling and eating special and delicious meal. My father and my mother are really interested in exotic countries: India, Thailand, Egypt etc. Last holiday they spent in Dominican Republic. I wasn't there because I had lot school stuff. My father Peter is indescribable. He treats completely different in certain situations. In our cottage, he hard works all the time. He is owner of small shop near the center. He is funny, talkative and he makes the pranks all the time. He plays volleyball, and some weekends he plays tournament with his team-mates. He also likes traveling, cycling and walking in park.

After school I played floorball. I played in team Sparta, it is Czech most known teams of all sports (hockey, foot, floorball, basketball ...). But last year I stopped because my league was joined together with superior league. And that began much harder. I enjoy reading interesting books, watching movies, series: The Big bang theory, Dexter, Himym, Sons of Anarchy, The Walking dead and Game of Thrones. I am watching them with Czech subtitles. I like fantasy books, but I can read everything if it has interesting plot. Now I am waiting for translation of 4th book of Eragon which was written byChristhoper Paoliny. I like playing games, but my mom bothers that. I like counter strike and Battlefield 3. I surf on internet I have also profile on Facebook, but I have it mostly for school and also for funny videos. Sometimes we are going to play basketball, football. This winter we'll plan to play ice-hockey on frozen lake. When I'm bored I go out with my friends and talking.

On the weekend I am rollerblading, I am going on trip with bicycle across Vlatava, its river in Prague. I am going with my father and sister on walk to the park. But mostly weekends I, sister and parents spend free time on our cottage. Our cottage is in beautiful landscape. My father works here all the time I must assist him, sometimes I have too many test, so I have to learn. We're going to cycling or playing tennis or floorball. There is also playground. We can swim in our swimming pool.

Each winter our family is going to the Italy. I love skiing and snowboarding, they are really awesome activities. In summer we're going to the Croatia to the island called Korčula. I like swimming in pure sea. Also diving is interesting, I even caught few starfishes.

I am talking with my friends about music, I listen to the music all the time. I like Hip-hop, r&b, dubstep, grime(in my mp3 player, not on stereo). My favorite artists are Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Skrillex, Eminem, Lmfao ï they'll have show in CZE in February, Example ï he'll has show here too. Also Rusco, Lil Wayne, Cypress Hill, Linkin park- that is my favorite band since my childhood and many others. I can listen everything what is seems good to me.

I think I am honest, talkative and friendly person, I can easily find new friends. I am interest in sport and I like to learn new sports, I like learning new things. I'll try to do my best !

I believe in USA, I'll do many new things, I'll meet new friends, I'll discover the American culture. And I will be pleased, if somewhere is one awesome family, which will give me sweet home for next 10 months.

I am looking forward to meet you.

Thank you for reply.

I can help you with a few things:

I want to go to the University. You are trying to say: I hope to attend a University in the future.

English - because I like English and I've got an awesome teacher.

It's sometimes annoying (grammar), but mostly we learn new things. Can you be more specific?

I learning French, it's difficult but in spite of I like it too. You could say: I like learning French, although it is difficult.

And finally English, I've got 8 years. I have studied English for 8 years.

I want tobecome fluent in English, because it is a gate to the world (foreign countries). If you can speak English, you can easily get a job.

Continue to work on your grammar, I can understand what you mean, but it could use more editing. Good luck in school!

It is better to avoid using contract in academic writing which I see a lot in your essay.
I'm visiting a High school --> I am visiting a high school
I've got awesome teacher.--> I have got awesome teacher.
It's sometimes annoying --> It is sometimes annoying
