Thank for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time   1  my exchange in France .It’s even better than I thought it   2  . I was a bit 3   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 4  at home. And you 5  believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable 6   French now 7   I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is learning 8   at the dinner table.  9   you can imagine, things are really 10   the way they are at home. For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I 11   it .You’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands 12   bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) 13  thing is that it is very rude to say you’re full. If you don’t want 14   food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows, on the table. I find 15  difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to things, and don’t find them so strange any more. I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.
