Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage: Dear Ms. Answers, I’ve been offered a job promotion that would require me to relocate abroad to Paris from Chicago. The salary for my new position would be much higher than what I’m getting now, and I’ve always wanted to work in the French branch of our company, but I’m worried that living in Paris could be more expensive than where I live now. If this is the case, perhaps the increase in salary won’t make a big difference. Can you tell me anything about the cost of living in Paris Thank you, Raphael Daniels Dear Mr. Daniels, Congratulations on receiving such a wonderful employment opportunity. Living and working in a foreign country is not something that many people get to do. Although it can be a very rewarding experience, it can also be very expensive if your finances are not managed properly. In the same way that you will need to adjust to a different language, customs, and culture, you will also need to develop new daily routines and spending habits. This aspect of living abroad can be difficult for some people who may be tempted to live their daily lives as if they are on vacation: eating in fancy restaurants, buying expensive souvenirs, and going sightseeing. It is natural to live like you are on vacation when moving to a foreign environment, but it is important not to get carried away. Establishing a weekly and monthly budget for yourself is the best way to take control of your new financial situation. It may be helpful to keep track of your spending habits for the first weeks after your arrival and establish a budget based on that. As long as you manage your finances as you would if you were at home, living in Paris should not be any more expensive than living where you are now. In my research, the only two things I found that were significantly more expensive in Paris than in Chicago were taxi fares and high-speed trains. Fortunately, Paris has an excellent, rather inexpensive subway system. To view a list of common French items and their equivalent prices in American dollars, visit www. costofliving.com/paris.
