Ex. 5. Read the text and mark the statements as T (true), F (false), D (doesn’t say). Since school is the place where you spend a good part of your day, it’s a good idea to have a few rules regarding your classroom etiquette in mind. To begin with, it’s always nice to greet your teacher and the other students when you walk into the classroom. If you go to class after the lesson has already started, it’s polite to apologize to your teacher. During the lesson, you need to respect your classmates, as well as your teacher. That means you should pay attention to others when they’re speaking in the whole class, and you should talk to them if you’d like to share something. You’ll need to be straight and honest about the classroom environment. See all this doesn’t mean that the classroom needs to be completely quiet and boring. Your teacher will be more than willing to have an open discussion in class. Also, if you have any ideas and creative ideas to share with the rest of the class, you’ll be more than welcome to have your thoughts and ideas examined in class. After all, teachers are out of ideas too! Remember: teachers were once students themselves, and they too know how you feel about their material or their class. Your classmates need to do something different from their usual routine, and above all they know that learning should be fun! 1. You should never talk during the entire class. 2. If you are late, you need to bring a note from your parents. 3. You should never talk in the classroom. 4. It’s OK to tell a joke in the classroom. 5. You should speak to your teacher if you make any suggestions related to school matters to your teacher.
