Mr. Leck Wall首先介绍了他的家庭背景及牛仔在西方社会发展中扮演的重要角色，接着他从运输🪤、任务及工具等方面讲述了牛仔生活的发展情况。在运输方面，他提到了小卡车、拖拉机🥹、马和四轮车🙆🏻，又分别介绍了它们各自的特点及现在的发展情况，他说随着交通工具的改变牛仔文化也发生了相应变化👳🏻；在任务方面，他告诉大家由于现在科技发达很多事情都不需要人们亲自动手▶️，但像把小牛推去贴签、打疫苗或助产之类的工作还是要由人来完成；在工具方面，他介绍了镊子、铲子之类的传统工具及其用途🙈，以及现在在农场活动中广泛使用的智能手机和电脑，他表示这些科技的运用简化了过程也节省了时间；最后🙉，他提到中国作为牛仔劳动成果输出的重要市场🚦，其消费特点会深刻地影响着牛仔文化，比如在注射疫苗时要考虑里面的成分在中国是否会被禁止。

Mr. Leck Wall在现场做了很多演示，生动地向同学们展示了牛仔活动的场景，讲座在同学们欢乐的笑声和响亮的掌声中结束🙅。在讲座最后的提问环节中，有同学问他是更倾向传统的还是现代风格的牛仔文化，他回答道它们各有特点但他更喜欢现代的💁‍♂️。

A Lecture: Cowboy Culture

By Shen Xiaoqian

At 7 p.m. on March 15th, Mr. Leck Wall, one of the overseas teachers from School of Foreign Languages, gave a lecture entitled ‘Cowboy Culture’ in Lize Building Room C107.

First of all, Mr. Leck Wall introduced his cowboy background and pointed out the role cowboys played. Then, he listed some aspects of cowboy culture which varied from his childhood to now, including the transportation, tasks and tools. He said that these aspects had changed a lot, so did the cowboy culture. For example, because of the application of technology, the production process became simplified and accelerated; what''s more, people can easily monitor the farm condition with high-tech products. Finally, he illustrated that China, as an important market of cowboy products, also influenced the cowboy culture.

During the lecture, Mr. Leck Wall simulated some real-life situations of cowboys. His performance was so excellent that students could understand easily. At last, a student asked his preference about cowboy style, he said that both traditional and modern cowboy culture had their own features but he preferred the latter.
