On the evening of September 24, students came to the English Corner as usual. The delighted atmosphere made the English Corner become the concentration in the Library. The foreign teachers present were Mr. Martin Stannard, Dr. Phillip Stevenson, Mr. Christopher Dockstader, Mr. Charlie Reis, Ms. Dulene Cipiriano, Mr. Lucas Conrad and Mr. Jeremy Jenkin.

The topic this time was My Happy Summer Vacation.

After having a fantastic time in summer vacation, everyone just could not help to share their stories with each other. Dr. Phillip Stevenson’s stories were the climax of the English Corner. He told the students that he spent his summer vacation in England, visiting his families and eating traditional English food. When he said he really liked blood pudding, most of the students were so surprised. Someone even said he could not believe that British, which is said to be the hometown of gentlemen, could eat things like that. However, still some students considered it as a common food. And Dr. Phillip Stevenson said mystically,“ That’s the secret to maintain my skin.” That was so hilarious!

Mr. Charlie Reis told the students that he traveled to Vietnam and Guangxi Province this summer vacation. He really enjoyed the days there. He also said his favorite cities in China were Chengdu and Kunming. Although he liked the spicy food in Chengdu and the weather in Kunming, he also expressed his love to BNUZ.

Summer vacation is also a good time to build up the emotion between students and teachers. Therefore, Ms. Dulene Cipiriano traveled to Beijing to attend her former students’ graduation ceremony.

Everyone seemed to have a good time in summer vacation. Let’s share our happiness with others and keep up the wonderful memories. Let’s have a new start in a new semester and catch up with our dream!
