Given the question "What did the woman have to do at mealtimes?" and the answer "Sit silently.", write a conversation that might have happened.
A:
M: So how were your schooldays when you were a child, Joan?W: Well, from seven to twelve I went to a school in Belgium.M: In Belgium? How come?W: It was my father's idea. One of his friends was sending his daughter, and my father wanted to impress his friend so he decided to send me, too.M: Just to impress a friend? It's hard to believe. So what was it like?W: We had to get up early and go to church before class. And at mealtimes we just had to sit silently with our hands folded in our laps. And I wasn't allowed to speak English at all. I had to learn French but nobody taught me. I just had to sit in the lessons and try to understand.M: It's awful for a child of seven!W: And they were terribly strict about manners! I suppose that was one good thing. I had the most beautiful manners when I left.
