Our School/College Canteen

Our school/college canteen is perhaps the busiest place in the school/college. It is the

a place where almost every student is expected to pay at least one or two visits a day, and that not just to have a taste of some delicacies, but also to brush himself or herself up with the latest information, real or based on some rumor. Thus there is a free and frank discussion of the fashion of various boys and girls and the teaching habits of different teachers. Sometimes, the discussion can center on some political or economic matter also. Particularly, the senior students may discuss some new world development or new government policy on some matter.

This does not mean, however, that our school/college canteen is only a place of discussion. The primary aim of the canteen is to cater food to the teachers as well as the students. To fulfill this aim, our school/college canteen is well-equipped. There are separate cabins for teachers, boys, and girls. The teachers sit separately in their cabins, but the boys and girls often mix up and sit together in their cabins. The canteen contractor who sits in a corner of the canteen is a conscientious, jolly middle-aged man. He not only keeps the furniture neat and clean but also supplies clean and fresh food in attractive crockery. Still, he does not charge rates higher than the market rates.
