On October 28th, Mr.Aaron Richards and Mr. Dennis Baker came to the English corner and talked with students. Interesting and fresh topics aroused students’ interests as usual.

Aaron brought a topic about the smart phones and encouraged students to compare i- phone with android. He divided students into two groups based on the kind of smart phones they used. Students were encouraged to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both android and i-phone. He joined the group of android, for he thought it was cheaper and many apps could be downloaded for free. Besides, a student thought android smart phones were hard to break, making them have a long service life. On the other hand, students from the i-phone group held the opinion that IOS system was much faster and i-phones had a long service life as well. However, they also noted that the IOS system often needed to be updated, which was not very convenient.

Dennis’ topic today was religion and belief. A student said that in China, a lot of people worshiped for the blessing of God. But Dennis thought what people believed in was not religion itself, but a belief. Religion is only a kind of spiritual ballast. People should believe in themselves, because only they can save themselves.

For some students who are interested in English, the English corner on Wednesday is indeed an exciting and happy time. Many students have got the chance to practice their oral English and thus have improved a lot.
