English Corner----My Favorite Place

By Xu Cuimei

English Corner was held in the library every Wednesday from 6.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. Although it was raining today, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the students to take part in the English Corner. Today’s topic was My Favourite Place. Tonight the overseas teachers who attended the English Corner included Mr. Leck Wall, Ms .Sarah Tillman, Mr. Sean McHugh, Mr. Michael Beauchot and Ms. Cecily Hurst.

Mr. Michael Beauchot said that everyone had a favourite place. His favourite place was Sanya, China. The reason why he loved this place was that he could enjoy the beauty of the nature and get rid of all the distractions. Moreover, he considered that Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong had a fast pace of life, which made them not suitable for people to live in. And he felt more comfortable living in a slow-pace city. Meanwhile, Mr. Leck Wall was sharing his lovely experience in Dali, Yunnan province with his girlfriend. He loved the blue sky, the vast ocean, the elephant and beautiful pebbles there. Then he recalled his experience in Mexico and shared the local traditional festival called Donkey Festival with the students. And Ms. Cecily Hurst, who is a new teacher in SFL, took her three little daughters to the English Corner. She recommended some beautiful places to the students and shared her daughter’s travel experience in Europe. When one of the students said that he wished to travel all over the world, she encouraged the students to go outside so that they could broaden their horizon.

With this topic, all the students would have chances to experience the beautiful places all over the world in a special way. It would be everyone’s dream to live in a place that they’re longing for.
