A cafeteria in Korean high school
As for a cafeteria, (This phrase would work if you were in the middle of an explanation of Korean high schools, but doesn't make sense on it's own here) Korean students usually don’t bring their lunch. Depending on
the high school, some schools have their own cafeteria on the first floor, whereas other
s don’t
(this works, but "whereas others may not" is even more correct/sounds nicer). In this case where they don’t have a cafeteria, students have their meal in their classroom
s. What meal they will have that day is already decided by a *dietitian. Every month, students get a monthly meal
table menu** where it says what meal will be provided every single day and how much the bill will be. The cost of a meal is not included in tuition. Meals are made on the first floor and sent to each classroom in a form of food
truck cart by a lift. And around 4 or 5 students take turn distributing the food to the classmates. When students are done with their meal, they put their plate back to the food
truck cart and this food truck is sent back to where it comes from. Until middle school, students eat only lunch at school
, but in high school, school also offers both of lunch and dinner
, because some students remain in school to study more at night. Other than this, school
s also have has also a vending machine
s*** and
a small convenient store where students have some snacks at recess.
*In English, how do you call this person who’s in charge of student’s meals and figures out nutritional value? dietitian or nutritionist ? Thanks for helping me out in advance !
Technically a dietician is a registered title that only people who have graduated from the highest level of training may use. A nutritionist doesn't have the same requirements in the title, so anyone could call themselves a nutritionist. However, day to day you'll find that these titles are just used interchangeably.
**I tried to guess what this word would be. Could be a ticket also?
***I assume there is more than one vending machine.
