Before coming to France, I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But, when I arrived in Paris, I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.

    On the boulevard of Champs-elysees, there are many fashion shops of famous brands, such as Chanel, Dior, Pierre Cardin. In daily life, however, most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite, I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.

    Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities, what people wear are usually casual dresses, such as T-shirts and jeans.

    French people act as the fashion leaders, but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier, the city I live in, is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants(移民) from Algeria, Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential(有影響的) in this city. Therefore, you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.

1. France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world because             .

A. French people never wear fashionable clothes

    A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

    Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

    Alex Goldberg,the program’s founder,said“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.

    “We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For examplewe’ve secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)) with world?famous firms such as Honda.

    “At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.”Kieran Hepburn,14is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (論壇)

    The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop,it was amazing,”he said“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”

    The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (問(wèn)題) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.

    Kieran said“ It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”

    The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
