3月22日，伴随着小雨，英语角在图书馆一楼如期举行。到场的老师有Mr. David Tony Whitlock、Mr.Daren Mullins和Dr. Troy M. Smith。

最先到场的是Troy。他先让同学们作自我介绍，鼓励大家发言，然后跟同学们分享了这些年他在中国的教学经验，并表示他很喜欢珠海的环境。从他的话中，同学们了解到英语也是Troy的第二语言。Troy说学英语最重要的是能够自然地进行口头和书面表达，语法则是次要的。

过了一会，Daren也参与进来。当他谈到曾经在韩国教学经历的时候，有同学问他韩国和中国给他带来的不同感受。Daren表示这些年中国发展很快，并且和韩国相比，中国更包容外国人.他也提到了一些外国人对中国的印象。

David来自英国。他与同学们讨论一些关于英国文化的知识并且告诉同学们一些有趣的俚语。但是他说他本人不太喜欢英国伦敦，因为伦敦的生活节奏对于他来说太快了。David是一位信佛者，他和同学们分享了一些佛文化并表示他将会去拜访学校附近的普陀寺。

伴随着笑声和雨声，本周英语角落幕了。在本次英语角中同学们也收获了一些异国文化知识和学习的好方法。

English Corner

By Jiali Chen

The English corner was held on the first floor in the library as usual on the evening of March 22nd, with the drizzle outside.Mr. David Tony Whitlock, Mr.Darren Mullins and Dr. Troy M. Smith attended the English Corner.

Troy arrived first.He asked students to introduce themselves and inspired them to speak. He also shared his years of teaching experience in China, stating that he liked the environment in ZhuHai.According to what he said,students realized that English was also Troy’s second language. The most significant aspect of learning English was the capability of expressing one’s ideas in both colloquial and written English effectively, in other words, grammar was secondary.

After a while,Darren came to library and joined the students.When it comes to his teaching experience in Korea,a student asked him about the differences between China and Korea. Darren explained that China has been developing fast these years and China is more inclusive than Korea.He mentioned some foreigners’ impression on China as well.

David comes from England.He was discussing the British culture and shared with students some interesting slangs. However,he said that he doesn’t like London very much because of the fast-paced life. What’s more,since David is a Buddhist, he shared with students the Buddhist culture and said that he would visit the Putuo temple，which is near to BNUZ.

With laughter and the rain outside,English Corner came to an end. Not only did students get some knowledge of foreign countries but also they obtained good learning methods during this English Corner.
