Dear Laura，
Thanks for your message．Yes，I'm having a great time on my student exchange（交流）programme in France．I was a bit （1） before I arrived here，but there was no need to be．My host family is really nice．
They try to make me （2） at home．The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot．So she actually learned how to （3） Chinese food！She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is really（4） ．She always talks to me in French to help me practise．You wouldn't （5） how quickly my French has improved．（6） I still make lots of mistakes，it doesn't worry me as it used to．
My biggest （7） is learning how to act at the dinner table．As you can imagine，things are very different from the way they are at home．For example，you shouldn't put your elbows（胳膊肘）on the table．（8） ，I thought that was pretty strange，but now I'm used to（习惯于）it．Another example is that you shouldn't eat anything with your （9） except bread，not even fruit．You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork．Another thing is that it's impolite to say you're full．If you don't want any more （10） ，you should just say，"That was delicious．"I have to say that I find it difficult to （11） everything，but I'm gradually（逐渐地）getting used to it．I don't find French customs so （12） any more．
I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France． |Hope you're having a good school year．
Yours，
Lin Yue
