I am a middle school student, my name is Tom, and I come from 1 middle school. I want to take part in this activity because I want to improve my English and learn more about American history. I like doing sports and reading books. My favorite sport is basketball. I play it very well. I can sing and play the violin. I am also good at drawing. I think I can get along well with my host family. Maybe I want to live in a big family with pets. Because I like animals and I like chatting with others. If I can live in such a family, I will be very happy.
