Mr. Brian Harrison先是与学生们讨论了美国的流行音乐。学生们都分享了自己喜欢的歌手和乐队。接着，有学生问到Mr. Brian Harrison为什么会选择在中国当老师。Mr. Brian Harrison回答道，他受到在武汉当外教的哥哥的影响，觉得当老师时间自由，还可以增长见识🏃🏻‍♀️。他很喜欢中国，并觉得珠海的生活环境很适合自己🤾🏼‍♂️，于是就选择在这里当老师🧙🏼‍♀️。曾经在韩国当老师的他表示在珠海工作比在韩国开心得多🎣，也认识了许多朋友👻。

另一边，Ms. Dulene Cipriano与学生们热烈地讨论大学生就业的问题👼🚶🏻‍♀️。Ms. Dulene Cipriano觉得当代的大学生即使通过高考考到很好的大学，但缺乏实际技能是不行的🦁。大学生应该通过课余时间，参加社会活动或者阅读不同的书能提高自己。学生们听了都纷纷表示赞同🦶🏽。

虽然图书馆外寒风凛冽，但馆内因学生们与老师的讨论声和欢笑声而倍感温暖。

English Corner: Warm Tonight

By HUANG Jiahua

On December 18th, the English Corner was held in the Library on schedule. The overseas teachers who attended the English Corner were Ms. Dulene Cipriano, Mr. Martin Stannard and Mr. Brian Harrison.

At first, Mr. Brian Harrison discussed American pop music with the students. All the students shared the singers and the bands that they like. Then, a student asked Mr. Brian Harrison why he chose to be a teacher in China. Mr. Brian Harrison replied that he was influenced by his brother who is a foreign teacher in Wuhan. He thought that he would have more free time and open his eyes. He likes China, and thinks the environment in Zhuhai is very suitable for leaving. Mr. Brian Harrison was a teacher in South Korea and he said working in Zhuhai was happier than in South Korea. He made many friends in Zhuhai.

At the same time, Ms. Dulene Cipriano and the students discussed the employment of college students. Ms. Dulene Cipriano thought that even some students who did well in the National Entrance Examination to enter a good university may lack practical skills. And she suggested that college students should spend their spare time on social activities or reading different kinds of books to improve their skills. The students couldn’t agree more with it.

Although it was very cold outside, the heated discussion between the students and teachers which was filled with joy and laughter warmed the library.
