Yes, Im having a great time on my student exchange program in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot. So she actually learned how to make Chinese food! She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is really kind. She always talks to me in French to help me practice. You wouldnt believe how quickly,my French has improved because of that. Im very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesnt worry me like it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine（想象）, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, youre not supposed to put your bread on your plate. Youre supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now Im used to it. Another example is that youre not,supposed to eat anything with your hands except（除之外） bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is its impolite to say that youre full. If you dont want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious.” Also, youre not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but Im gradually getting used to it（渐渐习惯了）. I dont find French customs so strange anymore.,Ill write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope youre having a good school year.
