Dear Nancy,

　　Thanks for your message．Yes, I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France．It's even better than I thought it would be．I was 　　1　　 nervous before I arrived here, but there was 　　2　　 reason to be．My host family is really nice．They 　　3　　 to make me feel at home．And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved! I'm very comfortable speaking French now．My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table．As you 　　4　　 imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home．For example, you shouldn't put your bread on your plate．You 　　5　　 it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, 　　6　　 now I'm used to it．You shouldn't eat anything with your hands 　　7　　 bread, not even fruit!(You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)Another thing is that it is very 　　8　　 to say you're full．If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "It was delicious．" Also, it's not polite to put your hands in your lap．You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows, on the table．I have to say, I find 　　9　　 difficult to remember everything, but 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．Hope 　　10　　 a good school year．

Wang Kun

　　My father was 　　3　　 in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China．When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then 　　4　　 in the fields till sunset．And then he did his homework 　　5　　 midnight．Life was hard, because they had no 　　6　　 !

　　At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America．It was the land of gold, the land where 　　7　　 people can become rich．

　　“ 　　8　　 don't I go to America? ” he thought to himself, full of hope．

　　So, my father came to America．“ I had thought it was easy to 　　9　　 money in America, ” he told me．“But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true．They did not like to hire(雇傭)me because I spoke 　　10　　 English．Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, 　　11　　 dishes and sweeping the floor．Life was 　　12　　 for the first few years．I worked from 10a．m to 11p．m．I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible．I couldn't 　　13　　 the schooling(學(xué)費)．
