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.

      The word“day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using“day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A  place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning (旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes of the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 0’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but it is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.

As your eyes move along the line of a book, they make fixations (注视).It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span(视福).With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.

The way in which you read always has something to do with what you are reading and why you are reading. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can use the right and necessary way. Here are four ways of reading. but not  all; they may help you read faster.

1.Skimming (浏览)is an important kind of reading. It  can be used when you wish to go over something that you have forgotten. You may skim to find a lost place of a sentence that you have read and can’t remember. You may skim to get an idea of a story.

2. Fast first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important .You may use this kind of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.

3. You need to do careful reading and rereading some times. This kind of reading is necessary for making a careful study of the main school subjects, working out math problems, studying rules for playing a game, or reading directions.

4. Fast reading is used when you read stories for pleasure. You may also do fast reading when going over the lessons you have already known well.
