CARTES

French people over the age of eighteen are normally required to carry a « carte d'identité » that provides proof of identity in France and can also be used instead of a passport for travel to some countries. Foreign nationals residing in France for more than three months must have a « carte de séjour ». All car owners must have a « carte grise », which provides proof of ownership and must be shown along with one's driving licence if one is stopped by the police.

GRANDE ÉCOLE

The grandes écoles are relatively small and highly respected higher education establishments. Admission is usually only possible after two years of intensive preparatory studies and a competitive entrance examination. Most have close links with industry. The grandes écoles include l'École des hautes études commerciales or HEC (management and business), l'École polytechnique or l'X (engineering) and l'École normale supérieure (teacher training).

¹ = authority, decision maker [decision-maker], authority figure, mover and shaker, senior official.

Ex. The author argues the need to reconsider the role and image of the information professional, as trainer and mover and shaker, whilst stressing the need for continuous professional development.

Ex. The delay could have been avoided, if senior officials were empowered to requisition aircraft from any operator.
