I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here but there wasn't {#blank#}1{#/blank#}reason to be. My host family is really nice. The grandmother always helps me practice {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(speak) French. You can't believe how quickly my French{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (improve) because of that. I'm very comfortable speaking French now. My {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(big) challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things here are very different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the way they are at home. For example, you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! At first I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(think) that was pretty strange, but now I'm used to it. I find that it's{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (polite) to say that you're full. If you don't want any{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(much)food, you should just say, "That was delicious." I also find it difficult to remember everything, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I'm gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange anymore. I'll write again soon and tell you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is happening my daily life. Hope you're having a good school year.

    It's Sunday today. The students of Class 3 are giving their classroom a good {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（clean）. Let's have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} look now. Miss Wang is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（they） teacher. She is working with them. The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（child） are very busy. Some are carrying water. Wang Hong is cleaning the windows; {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（other） are sweeping the floor.  Li Wei is putting up a map {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the wall. It is a map of China. Wu Peng is mending（修理） some broken chairs. The children are listening to the radio {#blank#}7{#/blank#}they are working.

    The classroom {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（look） nice and clean after the cleaning. The children are very happy. Listen, they are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（sing） songs. It's time for lunch. They want {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（go） home for lunch now.
