BACK TO SCHOOL There goes the alarm again. I guess I should get up, but I am dreading this day. I always hate going back to school after a holidays break. I am not sure why I am anxious to see my friends, I don’t have any overdue school assignments, but I still get that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Has something changed? Do all my friends still feel the same way? What clothes should I wear today? Everyone will wear something new. I am sure of that. My biggest conflict is in my head. Part of me says, “Be your own person!” Another part of me just wants to fit into the crowd. My mom says that high school is like this, but college will be the opposite. She says I’ll meet many people with different interests, and find groups that I want to be with. I am looking forward to that freedom, but I have one more year of high school and this is my reality right now. As much as my friends and I like to think we are above all the peer pressures and social “rules” of our school, we all know we are very much controlled by it. We wear our hair the same way, wear the same brand clothes, and even have to use the same perfume. We basically clone ourselves because we don’t want to be different. Yet, deep down we would like to shout, 2 “Look at me! This is who I am!” Sigh, there goes the alarm again. What should I wear today? I think I will call Clara and see what she is wearing. 31.

TABLE MANNERS IN JAPAN In Japan, it is not uncommon in private households and in certain restaurants to share several dishes of food at the table rather than serving each person with his/her individual dish. In such a case, you are supposed to move some food from the shared plates onto your own plate by yourself, using the opposite end of your chopsticks (if you have used them already) or with special chopsticks that may be provided for that purpose. Some Table Rules • Blowing your nose in public, and especially at the table, is considered a bad manner. • It is considered good manner to empty your dishes to the last grain of rice. 8 • Talking about toilet related and similarly disappetizing topics during or before a meal is not appreciated by most people. • Unlike in some other parts of East Asia, it is considered bad manner to burp. • After finishing eating, try to place all your dishes in the same way as they were at the start of the meal. This includes replacing the lid of dishes which came with a lid and replacing your chopsticks on the chopsticks holder or into their paper slip, if applicable. Drinking Rules • When drinking alcoholic beverages, it is a Japanese custom to serve each other, rather than pouring the beverage into one’s own glass. You are supposed to periodically check your friend’s cup and serve them more once their cups are getting empty. Likewise, if someone wants to serve you more alcohol, you should quickly empty your glass and hold it towards that person. • Do not start drinking until everybody at the table is served and the glasses are raised for a drinking salute. 31. If you share several dishes of food at the table in a restaurant in Japan, what will you do? A. You should ask someone else to move some food from the shared plates onto your plate, using the opposite end of your chopsticks. B.
