Dear Laura,

Thank you for your letter. I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. The grandmother makes Chinese food for me. The teenage granddaughter is really kind, and she always helps me with my French. I'm very comfortable speaking French now.

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are very different from 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'm used to it. Another example is that you're not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is it is impolite to say that you're full. If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "That was delicious. " Also, you're not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange anymore.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Hope you're having a good school year.
