Dear Laura,
Thanks for your email. Yes, I am having a great time on my exchange programme in France. It's even 1 than I thought. I was a little nervous before I arrived here, 2 there was no reason to be worried. My host 3 is really nice. They try their best to make me feel at home. And you wouldn't believe how 4 my French has improved! Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn't bother (使……烦恼) me as before. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to 5 at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really different6 those at home. For example, you should not eat 7 with your hands except bread, not even fruit. 8 thing is that it is very rude to say you are full. If you don't want any more food, you should just say "9". Also, it's rude to put your hands in your lap. I find 10 difficult to remember everything, but I am getting used to them.
Hope you are having a good school year. Please write to me soon.
Yours,
Wang Kun
