Relaxing Drinking Time in Class

Many cups, coffee and hot chocolate
Three weeks have passed since I arrived at MFWI. I have taken many classes. In these classes, there are a lot of differences between America and Japan. I was especially surprised that almost all teachers say “You can drink coffee or hot chocolate or tea in this class.

When I first heard about this, I thought teacher made a mistake. He wanted to say don’t drink, because teachers in Japan forbid drinking in class even if it is just water. But when I catch a cold, we are permitted to drink water to take a medicine in class. Only then. That is why I supposed he made a mistake, but it was true. We can drink coffee or hot chocolate or tea in class. I’m very happy, because I like coffee and hot chocolate. A week ago, Ron gave me a cup of hot chocolate and some chocolates in his class. It was very sweet, but I had very nice time in the class. And my reading teacher is Jill. She also said “You can bring water or coffee or anything.” I was surprised a bit, but at that time, I supposed this is American style. It’s usual in America.

I think that it’s a great idea, because drinking can rid of person of stress. When I study hard, I feel the stress. I want Japanese class to adopt this system. I want to drink every time!!!
