It ’s even better than I thought it would be. 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.And you wouldn ’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I ’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn ’t bother me It ’s not necessary to be nervousI can speak French well now.when I study in France as an exchange student 他们费尽心思让我感觉不到拘束。

troubleMy biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things arereally different from the way they are at home. Forexample, you ’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You are supposed to put it on the table ！I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I ’m used to it. You ’re not supposed to eatanything 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 very rude to say you ’re full. If you don ’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.”things I am in the habit of itAlso, it ’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not yourelbows, on the table.

go out of one’s way to do sth.意为“不怕麻烦地/ 费尽心思做某事”。

e.g.The driver went out of his way to offer me a lift.那位司机费尽心思地让我搭乘他的车。

Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to.虽然我还是出很多错，但它不像以前那样让我烦恼了。

（1）although 为连词，引导让步状语从句，意思是“虽然……但是……”。

though与although同义，但although 较正式，多用于句首。

它们不能和but 连用，但可以和yet, still, nevertheless 等副词连用。

e.g.Although / Though he is very old, yet he is quite strong. 他虽然年纪大了，身体却还很健壮。

（2）副词still意为“还；仍旧”，常位于系动词、助动词或情态动词之后，行为动词之前。

e.g.It was still raining. 雨还在下。

My finger still hurts. 我的手指还痛。

I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to things, and don’t find them so strange any more.我发现将一切都记住很难，但慢慢就对这些东西习惯了，也就不再觉得它们很怪异了。

it在此作形式宾语，动词不定式短语to remember everything是真正的宾语，形容词difficult是宾补。

it作形式宾语的基本句型为“主语+ 谓语+ it + 形容词/ 名词+ 动词不定式/ V-ing形式/ that从句”。

e.g.I feel it my duty to help you.我觉得帮助你是我的职责。
