3 . Travelling in Paris

The uniform sandstone of the Haussmann buildings, the variety of golden historic monuments, and the attractive Seine and its elegant bridges have arguably made Paris the most recognizable and romanticized cityscape in the world. But though the city wears its history with characteristic style, it is also increasingly looking to the future and outwards to the rest of the world.

Where to go

Those looking to explore the city’s rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Paris’s countless historical churches. For more contemporary tastes, there’s plenty of exploring to be done in the less jam-packed outer regions-from arts venues (场所) on the sloping streets of Belleville to the luxurious hotels and reinvented bars.

When to go

You can come to Paris any time but the atmosphere is quite different at different times of year. Winter is a time for festivals and feasting on games and oysters (牡蛎). Spring and early summer are the time to make the most of city parks and cafe terraces, with fireworks set off on June 21 and military parade held on July 14. In August the capital slows down and some people love it for the feeling of calm. The autumn renewable activities start with a burst of energy for the new cultural season and big exhibition openings.

What to buy

Choose from one of the tastiest cheese selections in the city at La Fermetteon Rue Montorgueil and vacuum-pack your selection to bring home.

8 . If you begin a new job, it is important for you to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do.     1    .

●First impressions can last forever.     2    . Before your first day, find out if your new job has a rule about what you can wear to work. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what you wear, always be neat and clean.

●    3    . Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

●Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor (主管) may do is to introduce you to co-workers.     4    . They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

●Never be the first one to leave. Observe what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间).     5    .

If you follow the suggestions above, you will make it through the first days at a new job.
