Dear Kim，
It's raining today!You might not think this is big news，but for us it is.It has been very hot and dry since the last time I wrote to you.In fact，it hasn't rained for about ten weeks.
I heard on the radio that it was the driest winter in my city ever since they started keeping records of rainfall （降雨量） in 1887.Everything is very dry.In the city，people have let their lawns （草地） die，and the ground is dry.In the countryside，the farmers can't grow any plants，and their animals are dying.The farmers have to buy grass for their animals to eat because they haven't been able to grow any jye.aimselves.The government is helping them by providing low-interest loans （低息貸款）.
In some towns it's now against the law to water gardens behind houses.People can only water their gardens by using a bucket，and only for about two hours a day.Droughts （干旱） like this happened in our country every five or ten years，but this is the worst one that anyone can remember.
So you can imagine①______happy people were when the rain came at last.Of course，a few hours of rain will not be enough to break the drought，but it's certainly helpful.The farmers need a lot more rain before they can say things are back to normal.It'll take a long time for the land to recover.
Everything looks and②______clean and fresh during the rain.I like the sound of the rain on the roof and windows because it makes me feel nice and comfortable inside my house.It also makes the birds happy and some are having a bath in the water left in front of our house.It's fun to watch them.There's lots of water running down the streets.
That's all the news from here.Please write to me soon.
Jane

2．Dear Laura，
Thanks for your message.Yes，I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here，but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot.So she actually learned how to make Chinese food!She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is really kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.You wouldn't believe how quickly 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
