Activity 1:
Most of my freetime I play handball in a club.
I have two times a week training and every weekend a match.
Handball is very important for me because my teammates are also my best friends.
My family support me and my father has sponsored the team with new jerseys.
Activity 2:
I spend a lot of time to meet with my friends.
We play soccer or video games.
Sometimes I go dancing with my friends. This is always very exciting because I love music.
Activity 3:
In the last half year I started also martial arts.
I train kickboxing on two days a week.
I like it very much because I become more disciplined and I can train my body.
Activity 4:
I also like playing ping pong.
In the school we have ping pong as a subject and I am very good in it.
I am very happy when I can play ping pong in my freetime because I have not a ping pong table.

Richard is a very open-minded, highly communicative and sociable person. He is easy-going and has a good sense of humor, which
makes it very easy for him to make friends at school and his host family. Richard has a considerate nature and mature attitude using
common sense. Adapting to his host family's habits should not be difficult for him. Although his English skills are not perfect, he does
not hesitate to use it in a conversation and is well able to communicate.
He is an active person with many interests. He especially enjoys doing sports, such as riding the bicycle, swimming and hiking. He
practises handball and martial arts several times a week.
Richard is highly motivated to attend a high school and experience the American way of life by living with a host family. He is also
eager to share his culture. I am sure that his participation in the exchange program will be a beneficial experience for him and his host
family as well. I consider him as a very good applicant.
