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
