作为外院特色活动之一，每周三晚上6点至8点在图书馆一楼大厅举行的英语角总是充满着欢声笑语。为了增强英语角的趣味性和实用性，自本学期起每场英语角都会有特定的主题。恰逢国庆长假回来，10月10日这场英语角的话题很自然地便定为了“回忆一场难忘旅途。”

说起旅途，同学们纷纷问Mr. Chris Dockstader在假期有没有外出旅游，Mr. Dockstader语调夸张地说假期人太多，频频出现的交通事故让他宁愿呆在学校，引起阵阵笑声👈。随后，同学们也分享了自己的旅途见闻🧙🏼‍♀️。一位女生提到她最难忘的旅程是在乡村给小学生上课，孩子们灿烂的笑容她至今记忆犹新。她也表示有机会的话还想去支教。大多数人对于旅途的定义，往往不是去了哪里，而是在旅途中所见所闻引发的所感👨🏿‍🏭。Mr. Gerard Brent就他的法国之旅，为同学们讲述了一个浪漫都市里的趣闻。他提到法语和英语的差异，并举例说明很多以英语为母语的人在法国坚持本国发音从而引发的小尴尬。他还提到在法国看到的手榴弹、枪等二战遗留物🫴🏽👩🏽‍🎓，这激起了同学们浓厚的兴趣，每个人都听得津津有味🤾🏽‍♂️。

当晚参加英语角的外教还有Dr. Phillip Stevenson, Ms. Linda Visner, Mr. Andrew Chun , Mr. Martin Stannard, Mr. Brian Harrison, Mr. Sean McHugh。欢快的交谈声充满了图书馆的每个角落🤦🏻，不管是老师还是同学都度过了一个美好的晚上。

English Corner - the Most Unforgettable Travel

By ZHOU Xingzi

As a featured activity of SFL, English Corner is held in the library from 6:00pm to 8:00pm every Wednesday and is always the most popular event among students. In order to make it more interesting and practical, there will be a different topic every week since this semester. The topic for the English Corner on October 10th is “the Most Unforgettable Travel”.

Being asked whether he had travelled during the National Holiday, Mr. Chris Dockstader said he preferred to stay on campus rather than being stuck in the traffic for hours. And then, the students also shared their unforgettable travel experience. A girl mentioned that she had been to a village to teach the children there whose smiling faces were still lingering in her mind. She said it was a very wonderful experience and she would like to volunteer teaching in the future if she had a chance to. For most students, they considered the most important thing in traveling not being the places where they have been to, but the experience they have from it. Mr. Gerard Brent shared his trip in the romantic city of France with the students. He talked about the language differences between English and French, and told the students some interesting but embarrassing stories caused by the language gap between English native speakers and French people. The students are also excited about Mr. Brent’s experience of seeing some military weapons which are left from World War II, such as grenades and guns.

The other overseas teachers attending this English Corner were: Mr. Phillip Stevenson, Ms. Linda Visner, Mr. Andrew Chun, Mr. Martin Stannard, Mr. Brian Harrison, and Mr. Sean McHugh. Both the teachers and the students had a great experience in the English Corner.
