Identifying the topic sentences can help you quickly understand a text. Hi Diana, 1It'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. Paragraph 1 提示 得到......消息 2First, you shouldn't arrive early to a party. It's normal to be on time or a few minutes late, but arriving 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. Paragraph 2 3Second, it's important to 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! Paragraph 3 4Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party it was surprising to see how nicely 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 felt silly. Paragraph 4 穿衣服，打扮 场合 Paragraph 5 5Fourth, 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. 个人的问题 除非 Paragraph 6 6Last 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! Au revoir!
