Language plays an important role when you do business in France. The French are proud of their language, so anyone who does not speak it may not be respected by his French workmates or business partners. Also, learning French is important because it is a great way to show your French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language.

The first thing 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.

Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname. 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 what they look like. Your business clothing is a reflection (反映) of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. The French advise women to dress in a simple but elegant way. Wearing make-up is practiced widely by businesswomen.

The French are interested in food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually include a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours. This is a time for relationship building Do not begin eating until the host says "bon appetite". Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

Emergency services in the city of Karlsruhe got a call on Thursday from a man afraid that the tiny animal wouldn't stop following him around. The Guardian reported. Police arrived at the scene, where the squirrel finally stopped running after him by lying down and going to sleep.

It turned out that the squirrel actually needed help, the police said. ""It often happens that squirrels which have lost their mothers look for a replacement (代營) and then focus (集中) their efforts on one person, "the police spokeswoman Christina Krenz told The Guardian.

Although the government in the German case said the squirrel did need help, wildlife experts warn that before intervening (介入) in the case where you suspect a squirrel is orphaned (孤兒的),you should do your best to make sure the animal truly requires help. The Wildlife Centre of Virginia, which gets hundreds of calls every year about supposedly orphaned squirrels, published this handy guide to help decide whether such an animal really needs help and what to do if so.

Dear Zhang Hua,

How are you doing these days? Recently I have read a lot about the epidemic (疫情) in China on the Internet. Now it seems so serious in Sydney that all students here are asked to stay at home, just as you were months ago. I’m worried about my studies. Is it a good idea to take online courses? What are advantages and disadvantages of online courses? Could you tell me your experience about online courses during your stay-at-home period and offer some advice on how to carry out studies at home?

I hope to hear from you soon. Take care!

Yours,

Bella
