TEACHERS’ SHEET

Dialogue:

TEACHER: So, Amanda, is school in Japan very different from school in England?

AMANDA: Oh yes. One big difference is that in England the students move between the classrooms, not the teachers.

TEACHER: Oh. That’s interesting. So who cleans the classrooms?

AMANDA: Well, we have people who get paid just to keep the school clean.

TEACHER: Really? That’s good for the students.

AMANDA: Yes, but it means they don’t care about throwing litter on the floor.

TEACHER: That’s not so good! Also, I heard that they don’t have clubs at English High Schools.

AMANDA: Actually, yes, that’s another difference. We don’t really have many clubs, although I did work on the school magazine when I was at school.

TEACHER: Oh right. I was a member of the music club.
