本期节目话题背景

最近，有同学问了这样一道题“Describe an occasion when you used a map (e.g. a paper map, an electronic map) that was useful”。既然说到这个话题，那我可得好好跟大家聊聊我那次在法国使用地图的经历。20年前我第一次去法国的时候，我还是一个小路痴。多亏了我在路边自取的城市地图，有效地帮我规避了走错路的风险！而且还不止如此，有了地图，我还发现了周边不少的宝藏小店。想知道这趟旅行，地图都带我去向了哪里嘛。那就和我一起往下听听吧~

如果你以为地图的用处只是探店的话，那可就大错特错了！有了地图，我便可以搭乘公共交通，去探索属于法国的浪漫。真的是太赞了！
