Dear Laura,

Thanks for your message.

I’m having a great time on my exchange program in France. It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit afraid before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be.

My host family are really nice. They try their best way to make me feel at home. And you can’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to.

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. Things are quite different from the way they are at home. For example, I shouldn’t put my bread on my plate. I should put it on the table! I shouldn’t eat anything with my hands except bread, not even fruit! I have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is very rude to say I am full. If I don’t want any more food, I should just say, “It was delicious.” 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. I hope you will enjoy your stay in England.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Linda

【解析】

这是Linda写给Laura的一封信，信中介绍了她在法国过得很开心，寄宿家人对她很好，她在餐桌礼仪方面取得了很多的进展。她的法语也提高了很快。

1.题干“琳达现在在哪里？” 根据文中“I’m having a great time on my exchange program in France.” 我在法国的交流项目玩得很开心。可知，Linda现在在法国。故答案为In France.

2.题干“琳达来之前感觉如何？”根据文中“ It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit afraid before I arrived here” 比我想象的还要好。我到这里之前有点害怕。可知“她有点害怕”。故答案为She felt a little afraid.

3.题干“琳达说法语还犯很多错误吗？”根据文中“Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to.” 虽然我仍然犯了很多错误，但它不像以前那样困扰我。可知，这里是肯定回答。Yes, she does.是的，她是。故答案为Yes, she does.

4.题干“为什么琳达认为她最大的挑战是学会如何在餐桌上表现？”根据文中“Things are quite different from the way they are at home.” 事情和他们在家里的样子大不相同。故答案为Because things are quite different from the way they are at home.

5.题干“琳达在法国能用手吃什么？”根据文中“ I shouldn’t eat anything with my hands except bread, not even fruit! I have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.” 我不应该用手吃任何东西，除了面包，甚至水果！我得把它切碎，用叉子吃。可知，只能用手吃面包。故答案为Bread.
