Our class had an online meeting with students in another country. We talked about lunch.
I showed my bento and said, "We often eat rice at school." A student there showed a sandwich, fruit, and a small bag of chips.
Then we talked about manners. In my school, we say a short phrase before eating. In their school, some students start eating as soon as they sit down.
No one was wrong. We were just seeing different habits around the same daily action.

查看中文译文
我们班与另一个国家的学生开了一次线上交流会，话题是午餐。
我展示自己的便当，说：‘我们在学校经常吃米饭。’那边一名学生展示了三明治、水果和一小袋薯片。
接着我们聊到餐桌礼仪。在我的学校，我们吃饭前会说一句简短的话；在他们的学校，有些学生一坐下就开始吃。
谁也没有做错。我们只是看到，同样是每天吃午饭，各地会有不同习惯。
