go out of one’s uickly my
French has improved because of that.
I’m very comfortable speaking French
now. Although I still make lots of
mistakes, it doesn’t worry me as it used
to.
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 that it is impolite
to say 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’ll write again soon and tell you more
about my life in France. hope you’re
having a good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue
