十月十五日，图书馆在星期三的傍晚迎来了英语角。今天到场的老师有Ms. Dulene Cipriano、Mr. Jeremy Jenkin、Mr. Lucas Conrad、Ms. Linda J. Visner和Mr. Christopher Dockstader。

Ms. Dulene Cipriano告诉同学们，她在中国已将近8年，在北京住的时间最长。尽管北京的空气很糟糕，交通很拥挤，可北京仍给她一种家的感觉，让她不舍得离开。她还去过韩国，在她看来，韩国人很害羞，而中国人十分热情。她在北京语言大学的第一周就交到了朋友。同时，她也发表了对新闻阅读方式的看法。她认为，纸质的阅读能让人了解得到字里行间更深层次的东西，而网络阅读给予读者的，只是一个小标题，让读者知道这件事情发生了而已。

Mr. Jeremy Jenkin则与同学们探讨了音乐方面的问题。他很喜欢爵士乐，对中式音乐也十分有兴趣。他认为中式音乐能使人放松身心。其他的同学也表达了各自对摇滚乐、蓝调音乐的喜爱。

在Mr. Lucas Conrad看来，旅游并不是必不可少的。他很少去旅游，包括自己的那段大学时光。他告诉学生，Mr. Jeremy Jenkin很喜欢旅游，几乎环游全球了。在他的印象里，中国人并不喜欢旅游，因为相比之下他们更喜欢储蓄。

这是一个美好的夜晚，老师跟学生都在这段时间里感受到了交流的快乐。

English Corner: Various Hobbies

By Liang Jie

On October 15th, the English Corner was held at 6 p.m. in the Library. Ms. Dulene Cipriano, Mr. Jeremy Jenkin, Mr. Lucas Conrad, Ms. Linda J. Visner, and Mr. Christopher Dockstader attended the English Corner.

Ms. Dulene Cipriano told the students that she had lived in China for almost 8 years. She loves Beijing so much even though the city is crowded and the air pollution is terrible. From her experience, she realized Chinese people were more hospitable than Koreans. What’s more, in her view, print media, like books and magazines can give more information to readers than Internet where readers can easily glance at the titles instead of reading through.

Mr. Jeremy Jenkin discussed music with the students. He likes Jazz very much, and he also shows his interests in Chinese traditional music. In his opinion, Chinese traditional music could make him relax. Moreover, other students also expressed their interests in pop music as well as blues.

Mr. Lucas Conrad thought that traveling was unnecessary. He didn’t travel very much in his daily life or on vacations, even including his college life. He told the students that Mr. Jeremy Jenkin prefered traveling and had almost traveled all over the world. In addition, he thought that Chinese people preferd to save money in their accounts rather than spend money in traveling.

On this wonderful night, not only the students improved their oral English, but also the teachers enjoyed their conversations.
