三. 日记
Today we learned the oral English expression of table manners. In my opinion, Decent table manners are of great importance. When I learned German, this topic left a deep impression on me as well. Because we had breakfast with our teacher together in the classroom, at the same time we learned lots of table manners. For instance, don't talk with your mouth full. Don't smack your lips when you eat. And don't lick your fingers. Use a napkin. Although these are the most basic manners, I was impressed by this class.
