Mrs. White is the director of the Center for International Visitors. She arranges for me to spend a few days with an American family before I start my classes at university. It will be a good experience for me. I really appreciate her kindness. She asks me to give her some information about my family and my interests. Here it is. 


       My name is Lu Ming. I'm a girl of twenty and I have an elder sister. My sister is a teacher of English at a foreign language school. She helps me a lot with my English. My parents are doctors at a medical college. They specialize in traditional Chinese medicine. They have some foreign friends who are interested in Chinese medicine. Sometimes my parents ask my sister and me to help them explain things to their foreign friends. This provides me with an opportunity to practice my spoken English.

       Swimming and painting are two of my special interests. In school my best subjects were English, science and mathematics. I study at university now. My major is engineering. And I hope to further my study in the United States in this field. I plan to do my best.

       I hope this self-introduction will be useful. I'm looking forward to meeting the American family.
