11月26日傍晚7点，英语角活动在图书馆一楼如期开展，来自各个学院的同学都踊跃参与。参加本次活动的外籍教师有: Mr. Christopher Dockstader和Dr. Phillip Stevenson。

Mr. Christopher Dockstader和学生们谈论了一系列关于健康的话题。他提到造成疾病的一些因素，比如DNA、饮食习惯以及作息规律。他还告诉同学们发生在他身上的一次交通事故经历。他向大家简要分享了他在车祸发生后的感受、在医院安心休养时护士给予他的治疗。“当然，在医院调养确实安逸，但医药费也很昂贵。”他打趣道。Dr. Phillip Stevenson则和同学们分享了一些有趣的话题。他们探讨了如何装扮成古代中国的恐怖僵尸；想象着如何带宠物在浩瀚宇宙中，找到另一个星球居住；古罗马吸血僵尸惊情四百年的德古拉等十分有趣的话题。这些话题富有惊悚元素，但因着它们的神秘，却又十分吸引同学们的注意。

希望更多的同学参与到英语角中来，用英语交流，提高自己的英语口语水平，和外教老师们享受这愉快的时光。

English Corner：Free Talk

By Xu Xiuhua

On November 26th, the English Corner was held on the first floor of the Library at 7 p.m.. Students joined in it actively. Mr. Christopher Dockstader and Dr. Phillip Stevenson attended that activity.

Mr. Christopher Dockstader talked about how to keep fit and healthy. He mentioned the causes of diseases, such as, DNA, eating habits and living habits. He also shared his own experience on a traffic accident with the students and the treatments he had in the hospital. “All you needed to do in the hospital was relaxing. But the hospital charged me a lot,” he joked.

Dr. Phillip Stevenson and the students discussed on funny topics. They talked about how to dress up like a Chinese zombie, bringing a pet to live in another planet in space and Drecula, a famous romantic but bloody story of vampire. Those interesting topics attracted students a lot.

Students could not only practice their oral English, but meet many friends. Come to English corner, and it’s always a good experience.
