六、读写综合
A.回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
When I was ten years old, I became pen friends with David Lu, a boy living in Beijing. Over the years, I became more and more interested in Chinese culture. When there was a chance to study in Beijing as an exchange student, I took it quickly.
In my first 24 hours in Beijing, I felt both excited and nervous. I didn’t see one foreigner. But on my first day of school, I saw many foreign faces. The students came from all around the world.
None of us had studied Chinese before, but our language skills improved quickly. By the end of the first month, we were very happy that we could all make simple sentences in Chinese and some of these sentences were quite funny. We often sent our language teacher Sophie into wild laughter.
In October, David finally had time to show me around the city. Both of us were very excited to see each other. David took me to some of his favorite restaurants. Chinese table manners were very different from those in the West. Eating Chinese food was like an adventure, and it became my favorite thing about living in Beijing.
My six-month stay in China was really unforgettable. It has made me look forward to visiting China again to look for more adventures.
