I am an American man living in France, but I spend a lot of
time in the USA visiting family and friends. These are the
questions Americans ask me most often: Are the French
rude? Is it true that they hate Americans? The answer is a
simple No. In my opinion, the French are among the
__________ and __________ people in Europe. Maybe its
because I speak French with a funny American accent and
they see that I have made the effort to learn the language.
When people ask me if I prefer living in France or the USA, I
simply tell the truth. I dont prefer. I consider myself very
lucky to be able to experience both cultures. I really love the
differences.

The Eiffel Tower is probably the most famous and distinctive

building in Paris, but before I saw it for the first time, when I was
about 23, I had thought of it as an impressive piece of grey metal.
Obviously it had been a contemporary design back in the nineteenth
century when it was built, but even then, most Parisians had hated
it. And it did nothing for me. So when I first went to Paris I didnt
rush to visit it. Then one day the friend I was with insisted that we
went to see it. We got out of the Metro and turned a corner and
there it was. It was huge! What surprised me was that it had a
colour, a kind of dull
brown. Then there was the beauty of the iron work. It was so
delicate. Look up and up and up and finally you see the top. It has no
function, but perhaps thats part of the attraction. I love it!
