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 to learn more about the customs here after I had some embarrassing experiences at a party last month. I’d like to share some tips with you.
1. How did Nancy feel at the beginning of her stay in France
A little lonely.
How does she feel now
What caused the changes
She feels much better now.
She is starting to make some friends and they helped her learn more about
the customs.
① arrived 10 minutes early;
② didn’t bring a gift;
③ didn’t dress for the occasion.
2. What were the three mistakes
that Nancy made at the party
Fourth, it’s best not to ask personal questions unless you know the person quite well.Many French 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.
3. What should you not ask about when talking to someone in France
You should not ask about someone’s age, family, whether they are married, or how much money they make when talking to someone in France.
Last but not least, make sure you use French whenever you can. Lots of people speak English here, but you can develop closer 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!
4. Why does Nancy ask Diana to speak in French whenever possible
Because using French helps develop closer relationships with people in France, and it is very important in their culture. Even a simple “merci” can go a long way.
5. What can you learn from Nancy's experiences
We can learn from our own mistakes and get to know other cultures better.
It's important to be open-minded and
willing to learn.
We should respect and follow local customs and traditions.
保持开放的心态、乐于学习，这一点十分重要。
我们应当尊重并遵守当地的风俗与传统。
我们可以从自身的错误中吸取教训，从而更好地了解其他文化。
Read the email and fill in the details.
