Unit6 Crossing Cultures Section B
Hi Diana,
It's so great to hear from you. Life in Paris is pretty good! I was a little lonely at first, but I'm starting to make some friends. They helped me learn more about the customs here after I had some (1) ____________(embarrass) experiences at a party last month. I'd like to share some tips with you.
First, you shouldn't arrive early to a party. It's normal to be on time or a few minutes late, but (2) ___________(arrive) early can cause problems. Once, I arrived 10 minutes early to a party. Usually that's the polite thing to do, right But my friend looked so (3) ____________(surprise) to see me! He was still getting everything ready.
Second, it's important (4) ____________(bring) a gift when you visit someone. When I attended my friend's party, I didn't bring anything. It wasn't his birthday, but everyone else (5) ______________(bring) gifts like chocolates or flowers (6) __________(thank) him for the party. I was so (7) _____________(embarrass)!
Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party it was (8) ______________(surprise) to see how (9) ______________(nice) everyone was dressed. It was summer, so I was just wearing a simple blouse and shorts. But everyone else was dressed so well that I (10) _____________(feel) silly.
(11) ___________(four), it's best not to ask (12) ____________(person)questions unless you know the person well. Many (13) ______________(France) people are quite private. They don't like it when others ask them about their age, their family, whether they are married, or how much money they make. Food and culture, however, are safe conversation topics.
Last but not (14) ___________(little), make sure you use French whenever you can. Lots of people speak English here, but you can develop (15) ___________(close)relationships with them if you use French. It's very important in their culture. I found that even a simple “merci” goes a long way! You’ll see what I mean as soon as you get here!
Au revoir!
