Attending a party in a foreign country
What gifts to bring: guests will often bring something to drink for the host or for others at the party. Depending on the invitation, guests may also bring snacks or sweets, or even some dishes to eat.
How to dress: some parties have a specific dress code, such as formal or fancy dress, where people wear costumes based on a specific theme. If it is not a formal party, smart but casual clothes are probably best.
Safe conversation topics: It is best to be friendly and respectful during conversations, so the topics should reflect that. One can talk about food and drink, travel, hobbies, work (not too much), and cultural differences (in a respectful way). It is best not to talk about politics, religion, money, or personal relationships. It is best to see how others speak as a guide and to ask lots of respectful questions to encourage others to talk to you.
Scan the text and answer the following questions.
What is the subject of the text
Re: how’s life in France
What is the text type of the reading material
Who writes the email Is it a reply Who does she reply to
Email.
Nancy.
It is a reply. She replies to Diana.
A topic sentence gives the main idea of a paragraph. It usually appears at the start of a paragraph, but it can also appear later on. Identifying the topic sentences can help you quickly understand a text.
段落中心句是对段落主旨的概括，体现该断的中心思想。
判断段落中心句的方法：
看位置。通常在段首或断尾，少数在段中。起承上启下作用。
看句间关系。即段落中的其他句子是否对某一句起到支持、解释、证明或举例说明作用。

possible
5. What can you learn from Nancy’s experiences
Nancy tells Diana to speak in French whenever possible to develop closer relationships with French people.
