Paris in the springtime was, is and always will be, something rather special. Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days? This attractive city has something to offer everyone and with prices at just £129 it's great value too.
Your break begins with executive coach (长途公共汽车) transfer (中转)from regional(各地的)pick-up points and travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry(渡船), arriving at your hotel in the evening. The Ibis is an excellent quality hotel with private facilities in all rooms: satellite TV, radio, telephone and alarm clock. It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame.
The following day, the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see the Eiffel Tower, Champs Ely sees, L’Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, in fact almost every famous landmark you have ever heard of. You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the home of Louis XIV. The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the remainder of the day at your leisure. In the evening there is a “Paris By Night” tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights.
Day three takes you to Montmartre, perhaps the most picturesque(独特的) quarter of Paris and home of the Sacre Coeur and the Moulin Rouge. In the afternoon you are free to explore this beautiful city as you wish. In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best night-club in the city, the splendid Paradis Latin.

Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate
Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst.
Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.
Talk things out.
Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and, instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs.
Don't expect to be best friends.
Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don't. Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend, don't worry.
Ask before you take.
This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. ◇Clean up after yourself.
This should do without saying. Don't be lazy. Or, at least, don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I've come across in college are messy. But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
A. So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
B. This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.
C. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
D. You don't have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.
E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.
F. Sometime you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.
G. Remember, you're trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.
Home on the Way
People need homes: children1their parents' place as home2call school "home" on weekdays; named couples work together to build new homes; and travelers... have no place to call “home",3for a few nights. So how about people who have to travel for4periods of time? Don't they have the right to a home? Of course they do.
Some regular travelers take their own 5: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home 6they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and7become very familiar with service and attendants; others may 8put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.9 ,driving a camping car during one's travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home only10!
And how about maintaining relationships while in 11?Some keep 12 with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they' re still13and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel 14 at home. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, 15closer than siblings(兄弟姐妹).
Nowadays,16people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a 17of belonging? Whenever we18our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting 19.Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and20, we can make the place we stay “home”.
