MFWI is better for students who study English!

I think MFWI classes are different them. There are three reasons.

First, classes at MFWI are small; I think between 6 and 14 students, but classes in MWU are large; at least about 20 students. Also, we talk with classmates a lot at MFWI because classes have many activities, so we can make new friends naturally and we can be active, but classes in MWU are almost just sitting and hearing what teacher says and taking notes, so we don't speak to friends who we already know or without the teacher when letting us to say something.

Next, we can chew gum and drink water during classes at MFWI because it is part of American culture, so teachers at MFWI don't care. But we can't eating and drinking during classes at MWU. Everybody knows this because it is part of Japanese culture. Teachers at MFWI sometimes give us some snacks or chocolates and a cup of juice, but teachers at MWU don't do that.

Finally, we can go somewhere as a class activity on MFWI because classes at MFWI are smaller than classes at MWU. I said this already, so we can go out of the classroom easily. For example, I went to an elementary school and a high school to meet my pen pals, and I also went to a bakery, park, museum, library in downtown and the restaurant, and more places last session. I think we can hardly go out of the classroom in MWU.

At MFWI, we can hear English every class because all teachers speak English, and we have to speak only English during classes, so we can study English even if only join in own classes. I think it is important for students who study English to use English as much as possible, so I think MFWI is better than MWU for them.
