Dear Tom,
I've heard that you are puzzled in adpting here.I had been a exchange student in England.I deeply know the feelings you get now.I think that you can feel free now and not so anxious about the situation.There are some suggestions for you.Talk with your friends and you can relax.You can tell him your feelings and pour out your anxiety.He will give you his sugestions.And you can imitate more.This will help you be familiar with China and Chinese culture.Maybe you will find it is embarrassed to do so.But I think you should try and you will find it is not so difficult as we imagined before.
Looking forword for your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
