Paris is a city unlike any other. It is overflowing with culture, history, and beauty. And while people travel to Paris to see the Louvre, climb the Eiffel Tower, or see Notre-Dame, the real magic is found in the streets. Here, the ins and outs of daily life play out – chic women on bikes pedal their children to school, artists post up in cafés with a notebook, and both young and old line up morning and evening for a fresh baguette from the neighborhood boulangerie. It is likely everything you imagined, and then a bit more –because while Paris is a city with a strong cultural identity, it also houses people from all over the world who add their own culture and customs into the mix. This is why a visit to Paris’ top sights is simply not enough – to truly get a sense of the city, take to the streets where the essence and enchantment of Paris is most felt.       As you explore the streets of Paris, you’ll find yourself walking the hills of Montmartre in search of that perfect crepe spot or meandering through Belleville, a Chinese neighborhood interspersed with hip, young Parisians and elaborate murals. Across the Seine, you might find yourself enjoying an all-tooearly verre du vin at a café in Saint-Germain-des-Prés or exploring the winding streets of the Latin Quarter. It doesn’t take much to find yourself fully immersed in this special city.

Diplomatic Concierge: Diplomat experiences contemporary luxury at its best in London’s most exclusive postcode at The Biltmore Mayfair
      BACK IN OCTOBER 2019, The Biltmore Mayfair quietly opened its doors as Europe’s first LXR Hotels & Resorts property – Hilton’s top-tier collection of luxury hotels. The handsome 307- -room hotel is located on one side of Grosvenor Square –next door to the former Indonesian Embassy and US Embassy before it moved south of the river. Previously the site of the Millennium Hotel, and after a £60 million redevelopment, the property has been refreshed beyond recognition.      Polished and sophisticated, The Biltmore combines high end contemporary accommodation, with stunning views across Grosvenor Square gardens. In prestigious Mayfair, the hotel unites twentieth century grandeur with modern architectural details. Perfect for visiting government ministers or VIPs are the 57 beautifully designed suites, in which guests can enjoy personalized embroidered pillowcases and monogrammed bathrobes. Even the hotel’s youngest residents will feel perfectly pampered in the signature suites with their own bathrobes and coloured toothbrushes. The 460 square foot King Grand Deluxe Grosvenor Square View room is luxurious, but practical: a vast super king bed, a comfortable seating area to watch the huge television, a desk to catch up on work and lovely views of leafy Grosvenor Square. Theopulent bathroom is an absolute treat: marble shower and separate bath, along with a cult Japanese toilet. This is a high-end business-friendly place, with irons and ironing boards in the rooms, so guests can be suitably attired for their next day of meetings.      The Biltmore Mayfair is also home to restaurant concepts from world-renowned Michelin-starred restaurateur Jason Atherton. Cafe Biltmore is a relaxed restaurant with a pretty, al fresco space found at the heart of the hotel, surrounded by colorful artwork, sweeping greenery and glittering fairy lights, making it the perfect spot to drink and dine under the stars. A fine dining restaurant and new 1920s bar from Atherton is in the pipeline and will be opening shortly. People will be secretly delighted to have another reason to return to the property. Atherton also oversees food and beverage for the hotel’s extensive event spaces, including the impressive 500-square-meter ballroom, ideal for large-scale national day events, or receptions, with capacity for up to 700 guests. For more intimate functions, the Waterloo and Manhattan Suites can hold up to 80 and 100 guests respectively, while the Kendal Suite lends itself perfectly to up to 40 guests. Staff are warm, enthusiastic and untiringly polite. They are ready to welcome diplomatic guests, and indeed have had a few through the door already. Five minutes away is Hyde Park and Piccadilly, and Westminster just a short cab ride away, while the major London icons are nearby too: the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery and the Strand are close enough to walk to. But ultimately, The Biltmore is a luxurious sanctuary from where guests can be based, while they work, and experience the best of London.

Teaching Idioms Is Teaching Fluency
Colorful language and powerful imagery make idioms a lot of fun for ESL learners. When you throw cats and dogs in a scene where they are falling from the sky, it’s hard to know exactly what a phrase might mean. It’s almost like a code-breaking game, where students must learn that when certain words come together in a phrase, they can mean something very different.
It’s important to not only teach the meaning of idioms, but to also teach how to use them correctly and effectively. When a nonnative speaker uses an idiom correctly, he or she will sound very fluent. But, on the other hand, if they bumble the phrase, they will sound the exact opposite.
Learning idioms is appropriate for intermediate to advanced students. If you teach an idiom lesson to beginners or lowintermediate learners, you may well be putting them in the bumbling category mentioned above. Teach idioms wisely and sparingly to ensure your students’ success.

World Water Day

The first World Water Day was celebrated in 1993. It was first proposed at the United Nations (UN) conference on environment and development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and has been celebrated annually   22 March since then. Every year the UN releases its World Water Development Report on or around this date. Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.
