As the bell rings, the classroom is instantly transformed
from a place of subdued silence to one of excited chatter. Break time has
arrived and everyone is eager to leave their seats and head towards the
tuckshop. Even the usually composed math teacher, Mr. Lee, can't help but
fidget in his seat.
As the students make their way towards the tuckshop, they encounter
slow-moving teachers who impede their progress. However, the allure of
delicious food is too strong to resist. The tuckshop sells a variety of
items, but the mee with its flavorful gravy is a particular favorite.
The tuckshop quickly becomes crowded with hungry students jostling to buy
their favorite food. Sitting down at a large table with a plate of mee and a
glass of fruit juice is a moment of pure bliss. As the students eat, they
chat and laugh, creating a lively din.
However, as the break time comes to an end, the tuckshop empties out and the
students begin to make their way back to class. Unlike the rush to the
tuckshop, the return to class is slow and steady, like worker ants moving in
a line.
The stark contrast between the behavior of the boys and the girls is also
evident during break time. The boys rush to buy their food, while the girls
take their time, helping one another in the process.
Overall, break time is a cherished moment in the school day. It offers a
chance for students to enjoy their favorite foods, catch up with friends,
and recharge for the rest of the day. |
