Wow! You now know so much about France! Your friend Jordan, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family is going on a tour of French-speaking countries, including France and other European countries. He has asked you to help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to France. Write Jordan a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare French culture and American culture, especially in terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to French culture? How is it different? Use a lot of details to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun! You can use the CultureGram link to get ideas and information. (5 points per paragraph)
