   1   . So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.
   2   The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.
The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common.
Use first names only after being invited to.    3   The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.
Dress well. The French draw information about people based on their appearance. Your business clothing is a sign of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make-up is practised widely by business women. K$s*5u
The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.   4
Do not begin eating until the host says, “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep hands above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.    5   This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.
F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.
G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.

Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

1. Take pictures

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

2. Eat alone in public

You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

3. Join a class, sports team, or club

Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips:

* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).

* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had 51 with the public, not even with drunks.

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _31_ had such a big influence _32_ a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, _33_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _34_ to express my own opinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _35_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about _36_ itself. There are so many things around us that _37_ our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _38_ it or not . What we can do is just to make _39_ suit the world. I think we should learn to accept _40_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to _41_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by（流逝）and leave you _42_ regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _43_ such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, _44_ it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own _45_ towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.
