Anna is a 17-year-old exchange student (交换生) from Russia (俄罗斯). She is now studying art in a university (大学) in France. She's going to stay in France for a year and then she will go back to Russia. Anna comes to France because she thinks Paris is the best place for her to study art. She is now staying with the Black family. She helps Mrs Black do some housework every evening and goes to French classes every Wednesday and Friday afternoon.
Everything in Paris is new to her. She finds things are quite different from those in Moscow. There are many big shopping malls here, but it's really expensive. It's also expensive to have a meal in a restaurant or go to the cinema. Now Anna has got used to (习惯于) many things, but she cannot get used to the breakfast in France. "They eat so much in the morning," she often says. "How can you face all that food so carly in the day?"
