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 2._ (embarrass) experiences at a party last month. I’d like 3. _ (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 4. _ (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 surprised to see me! He was still getting everything ready. Second, it’s important 5. _ (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 brought gifts like chocolates or flowers to thank him for the party. I was so embarrassed! Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party it was surprising to see how 6. _ (nice) everyone was dressed. It was summer, so I was just wearing a simple blouse and shorts. But everyone else was dressed so well 7._ I felt silly. Fourth, it’s best not to ask personal questions 8._ 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 9._ (marry), or how much money they make. Food and culture, however, are safe conversation topics. 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 10. _ long way! You’ll see what I mean as soon as you get here! Au revoir! Nancy B Hi Yaming, One more week to go! I’m so excited 1._ (see) you. I’ll meet the Zhaos as soon 2._ I land in Shanghai. I’ll be staying with their family for two weeks, and I’m a little nervous!

In America, we usually bring the host something small, like food. Is that a good idea? Also, what are the right table 7._ (manner)? What are some good conversation topics in China? Is there anything else I should know? I’m worried about doing something silly. It could give people the false 8._ (impress) that I’m a rude person.

In America, you are supposed to shake hands when you meet for the first time. If you are invited to a party, you had better bring a small gift, such as a flower. You should eat with a knife and fork. In France, people often kiss on their cheeks. You aren't supposed to put bread on the plate and your elbows shouldn't be on the table. In China, we can shake hands with others. But it is very impolite to stick your chopsticks into the rice. And never hit an empty bowl or point at anyone with chopsticks. So before you go to another country, learn about and respect their customs. ①开头用非限制性定语从句引出主题: 不同的国家有不同的习俗。 ②“be supposed to, such as, stick...into..., point at”这些短语的运用丰富了文章内容,也突出了“习俗多样性”的主题,让读者直观理解文化差异。 ③when 引导的时间状语从句以及if引导的条件状语从句,用不同的语言结构说明在美国应注意的行为规范,丰富了文章的层次。 [话题写作训练] 假设你是张鹏,你的美国朋友Peter下个月将作为交换生来中国学习,请用英文写信,向他介绍中西方文化差异,并提出相关建议。内容包括: 1. 中西方饮食方面的差异; 1. 中西方语言和学生仪表方面的差异; 1. 提出相关建议。 要求:1.词数80—100(文章开头和署名已给出,不计入总词数); 1. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息,否则不予评分。 思路点拨 1. 时态: 主要使用一般现在时; 1. 人称: 主要使用第一人称; 1. 框架结构: [写作练习] Dear Peter, I am glad to know that you are coming to China as an exchange student next month._ _ Yours sincerely, Zhang Peng 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
