am used to    a bit nervous    improved    so strange    learning

Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange programme in France. I was    before I arrived here. But my host family is really nice. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has  ! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is   how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I   it. 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. Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m getting used to things and don’t find them   any more. I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.
Wang Kun

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Lanzhou, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is very        .
The purpose of these overhead bridges is to enable passengers to cross road         . Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient     less convenient because people have toclimb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to old people. When passengers are         a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving     the same time.
The government of Lanzhou has          lots of money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers         be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by running across the road. Old people, however, may find                  a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still         safer than walking across the road with all the dangerous of moving traffic.
Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Passengers, both old and young, should make a        to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
