4月20号，外教和同学们在凉爽的春风中来到图书馆参加了英语角。今天到场的三位外教分别是Mr. Robert K Mateja，Dr. Troy Maurice Smith以及Mr. Byron Sherman。

来自南非能说一口流利中文的Byron和我们分享了他选择当一名素食者的理由和好处。Byron成为一名素食者是出于对动物的热爱，他坚信，如果一个人吃的东西不健康，那么他看上去就不健康。Byron还表示，成为了一名素食者后，整个人都感觉轻盈了，他相信这是他身材不走样的秘诀。

而来自华盛顿的Troy虽然在博士期间的专业是英美法系，但是他没有选择当一名律师，因为他不想把自己的生命浪费在和别人的辩论中。而选择当一名老师可以影响更多人，在他眼中教育是一件非常严肃的事情。来自费城的Robert则表示要在近期进行健身，这样可以有一个更健康的身体和身形。如果他是一个超级英雄，他会选择做钢铁侠而不是超人，因为钢铁侠是靠自己的力量成为英雄的，他认为那才是真正的英雄。

一个小时在同学们和外教们愉快的交谈中过去了，大家都分享了自己在生活中面临的选择，期待下次愉快的再会。

English Corner：Different Choices

By Jiang Haoran

On the evening of April 20th , Mr. Robert K Mateja，Dr. Troy Maurice Smith，Mr. Byron Sherman and many students joined the English Corner in the cool spring breeze.

Byron, a teacher from South Africa, who could speak Chinese fluently, shared his reasons of becoming a vegetarian. He said that the main reason why he chose to become a vegetarian was that he loved animals very much. He believed that “if you eat rubbish, you will look like rubbish.” Byron also mentioned his becoming a vegetarian accounted for the fact that he was staying in good shape.

Troy didn’t choose to be a lawyer even though his major was English and American Law. He didn’t want to waste his life in arguing with other people. And he decided to be a teacher who would have a wider influence on more people. Robert told us that were he a super hero, he would like to be Iron Man rather than Superman. In his opinion, a real hero should use his own power to be a hero, just like Iron Man.

An hour passed quickly, and almost all students who shared their choices in life were looking forward to the next English Corner.
