选项
答案     A: It is the first time for our company to attend a trade fair in Paris. So we have to do a lot of preparations before we set off. Do you think so?
    B: I am of exactly the same idea. Firstly, I think we must arrange an appropriate schedule. For example, we should arrive a day earlier to give us time to adjust and acclimatise.
    A: I agree entirely. As we know, travel fatigue, climatic changes, jet lag, foreign food, etc. will all have great effect on us.
    B: Yes. And then we should book air tickets and reserve accommodations in advance.
    A: Yes. I think we should contact the travel agent because it can offer variety of choices and discount.
    B: That’s just what I was thinking. Then, we must remind every participant that cultural differences can cause a lot of misunderstandings and even break a deal. So they should learn more about French culture.
    A: Can you put things into the perspective?
    B: For instance, shaking hands with everyone present, inviting your customers to lunch rather than dinner, avoiding talking business over the main course, etc. are all basic business customs that our participants should bear in mind.
    A: I go along with you about that. I think we can invite French people to give every participant lecture to help them familiarise with French culture.
    B: Ok, that’s agreed. I’ll present our ideas to the board of directors. Nice talking with you.
