travel spotlight: paris
for your next vocation, why not consider visiting paris? paris is the capital of france, and is one of the liveliest cities in europe. it doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. for example, it has some fantastic sights, including the eiffel tower and notre dame cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world.
traveling around paris by taxi can cost a lot of money, but it’s usually quite convenient to take the underground train to most places. in general, though, france is quite an expensive place. one thing that is not expensive in france, however, is the wine！
most people in france have learned english. but many people don’t like to speak english, especially in paris. so unless you speak french yourself, it’s best to travel with someone who can translate things for you.
read the article the second time and blacken all the expressions. you may copy them after class.
