picks up litter she sees in the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Litter: <\/strong>any trash thrown on the ground<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay answers yes, she tries her best to pick up litter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She shares a story about her childhood, when she used to pick up trash with her dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey shares that she also does her best to clean up any trash she sees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many, there is a bit of hesitance in a post-Covid world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re less likely to want to touch things that other people touched, especially trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Japan in the news<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey asked this question because she was inspired by an article about Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video of this story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-1453\/\">went viral<\/a> and a lot of people are talking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the viral video, you can see Japanese fans at the World Cup cleaning up the stadium after the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese fans also cleaned up in 2018 after World Cup games as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japanese culture, keeping public spaces clean is taught at an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great conversation starter because you can compare how this is in your culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taking care of public spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you compare this in Japanese culture to the U.S., it seems Americans could improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay shares that there are subways in New York that need a clean-up to make the train experience better for commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan is also known for its clean and comfortable public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a collective, they care for each other by being mindful of their public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They make sure to respect these spaces and keep them clean for others to be able to enjoy and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vocabulary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-level vocabulary is used in the article about Japanese World Cup fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It states that they picked up bottles, ticket stubs, garbage, and other stadium detritus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Detritus: <\/strong>waste, trash, or debris of any kind<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an less common word but will definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/boost-your-business-english\/\">elevate your English vocabulary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also shares that fans from other countries followed suit and also cleaned up after games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>To follow suit:<\/strong> to follow the example of something or someone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not everyone agrees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been an argument regarding what these Japanese fans did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some say that it isn\u2019t required to clean up after games since there are people hired to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple opinions about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is respectful to be mindful of the amount of trash you leave behind regardless of whether someone is paid to clean up after you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In restaurants, some diners stack up their plates, glasses, and used napkins neatly after they eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps make clean up easier for the bussers and servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not wrong to let people do their job since you paid for the service, but it doesn\u2019t hurt anyone to be kind and helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join the

with others<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need phrases and vocabulary to discuss this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We share two English phrases to talk about keeping public spaces clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

you want to discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will definitely get a response whether the person knows what you\u2019re talking about or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they know about it, they\u2019ll add to the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if they haven&#8217;t heard about it, they\u2019ll ask about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
