I'm enjoying myself on my exchange programme in France, and you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has _1_(improved)! I'm very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of _2_(mistakes), it doesn't make me worried as it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave _3_(politely)at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not _4_(similar)to those at home. For example, you shouldn't put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! You shouldn't eat anything with your hands _5_(except)bread, not even fruit! You have to use a _6_(knife)to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that if you say you're full, the host may get _7_(angry). If you don't want any more food, you should just say “It was _8_(delicious)”. And my favourite Western food is cheeseburger. Also, it's rude to put it on the table. I find it difficult to _9_(remember)everything, but I'm gradually getting used to these things and don't find them so strange any more.
If you are _10_(invited)to dinner by Western friends, just do as the Westerners do.
