Discussion

1.  I think this unspoken rules are interesting. And I also found that middle-seat passengers should get "anything they want".

2. I prefer the aisle seat because I often need to go to the bathroom. I can't sit for a long time.

3. When I fly, I follow Brown's rule that the person sitting by the window should control the window blind. I make sure to adjust the blinds myself when I'm in that seat.

4. If someone is sleeping, I turn down the volume of my head phone.

5. No, I haven't.But I recently saw a video of a very disgusting passenger.

Further Discussion

1. The last time I traveled by plane was on a business trip to Boston. I was able to visit the Boston Museum and Harvard University, but was only able to visit MIT, which I definitely want to go there next time.

2. This answer is also when I went to Boston. I passed the time by watching a movie called The Imitation Game.

3. I always bring earplugs, an eye mask, and a pillow on board. I try to sleep on the plane.

4. Yes, I can always sleep on planes. I have to be careful because sometimes I snore.

5. The worst is when I am sitting in the window seat and the person next to me is sleeping and I need to go to the bathroom. I feel so sorry.

今日の先生は、2度日本に来たことがあると言ってました。
東京と北海道に行ったことがあって、日本人はみんな思いやりがあると話してました。

Japanese are very considerate!!!

そんなふうに思ってもらえると、同じ日本人として嬉しいですね。私もそんなふうに思われるように海外の人と流暢に英語で話せるようになりたいです。
