Dear Laura,

Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange program in France. I was a bit nervous before I     1     (arrive) here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice.

They go out of their way     2     (make) me feel at home. The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter about my age     3     is really kind She always talks to me in French to help me practice. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has     4     (improve)! I’m very comfortable speaking French now.     5     I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t worry me as it used to.

My biggest challenge is leaning how to     6     (behavior) at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are     7     (real) different from be way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You are supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with     8     fork. Another thing is that it is very     9     (polite) to say you are full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find     10     difficult to remember everything, but I’m slowly getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.

Dear Laura, I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you are having a good school year.

Yours,

Lin Yue

Dear Mom and Dad,

I haven’t seen you for a long time since I came to China as an exchange student. I really miss you now. This is the     1     time you haven’t been with me on my birthday. Thanks for your birthday gift from England. I like     2     very much.

Because of COVID-19（新冠肺炎）, I can’t go home, but you don’t need to worry about me. I am safe here. Yesterday I     3     a birthday party with Li Hua’s family. Li Hua’s mom made     4     big chocolate birthday cake for me, and she made much Chinese food that I loved best. We couldn’t go out,     5     we enjoyed ourselves at home.

Li Hua and I have been busy with our studies since this Monday. We have been having online classes     6     several days. Sometimes, when I felt a little upset, Li Hua always told some     7     to make me happy or taught me how to make Chinese dishes.

Now people here are     8     a peaceful life. On one hand, they stay away from others, and on the other hand, they try to help those in trouble, including us foreigners.     9     kind Chinese people are! This is a country full of love.

Dear Mom and Dad, please take     10     care of yourselves.

I love you.

Yours,

Peter

Gretel likes English people. She thinks they are kind and often ready to help others. But English people don’t speak English the way she heard in Vienna. Sometimes she can’t understand them at all. Gretel has got used to (习惯) many things already, but she can’t get used to breakfast in England. She often says, “Fruit juice, porridge, eggs, tea, toast and butter!
