With the deepening of reform and opening-up policies, especially after China's entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, interactions between China and the international community have increased significantly. Coupled with Beijing and Shanghai winning the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2010 World Expo, the demand for talents proficient in foreign languages and with overseas study experience has shown unprecedented prospects. Meanwhile, the enthusiasm of domestic students for studying abroad has also been on the rise. Among the countries preferred by students for their education and higher living standards, France has gained favor due to its advantages in research, education systems, costs, and cultural heritage.
Before embarking on their actual overseas student life, many students hope to supplement their basic French studies with specialized, practical language materials to grasp essential vocabulary and expressions needed for the process of contacting schools and starting their studies abroad. At the same time, they aim to be mentally prepared for the anticipated challenges and issues they might face during their time abroad.
Drawing from the author's own experiences of studying abroad and years of teaching French, as well as extensive research on new materials and surveys of foreign language learners, this book is meticulously crafted to meet this need. It aims to provide a gift for students about to embark on their study abroad journey, enabling them to gain a comprehensive understanding of life in France before leaving and to quickly apply the language knowledge they acquire to solve practical problems they encounter in their studies and daily life upon arrival in France.
