We have spent a lot of time and money to make the school look nice for you, so I have a suggestion to help you follow the “no food or drink” rule.

One of the great things about learning English at a school in London is that there are some great little coffee shops near the schools. A great example, if you study in Shepherd’s Bush is the Panini House.  You can get a coffee or soft drink for a great price, and if you want to have lunch or just a snack, they offer a great range of food to suit you. If you have ever been in my class, you will know that I like food, a lot, and I also know good food. All sandwiches or meals are served with a salad and a smile. The more you go to the Panini House, the friendlier everyone seems to get.

This is also a great opportunity to practise your English outside the classroom with the friendly staff. If you go with your fellow students, you could decide to only speak English with each other, even if you are from the same country.

Obviously, if you study in Holborn, there is no point in going to the Panini House during your break. When the weather gets a bit better, you could get a coffee from Pret or even McDonald’s, and sit in the small park around the corner from both centres in Holborn.
