A year ago I 61.____ (leave) the UK for the sunnier climate of Toulouse, France. Having just returned to England, I wanted to reflect on some of 62. best things about life in France. 63. I loved most of all was the French style of dining. While UK 64. (family) often rush down a quick meal in the evening, the French know how to make an event of a meal, often 65. (make) their way
leisurely (悠闲地)through three courses! Another great thing I found in France was that tickets for places such as cinemas and museums were much 66. (cheap) than in
the UK. Public transport was also very cheap. I was able to have unlimited access 67.
buses, trains and trams for only 10 € or £8 a month in Toulouse. A bargain!
Last but not least, the relaxing lifestyle there was undoubtedly 68. (wonder). Shorter working hours thanks to longer lunch breaks means that while people in the UK are rushing out 69. (buy) a quick meal at lunchtime, theFrench are sitting in cafes. The sunshine makes people eat outside more 70. (frequent),
often with neighbours, and stay out later at bars and restaurants.
