在11月18日的傍晚，Mr. Aaron Richards和Ms. Amy Elizabeth Call来到图书馆一楼的英语角和同学们一起交流分享。

Aaron首先和同学们分享了有关音乐方面的有趣知识。接着，他提到在美国很有必要拥有一辆车，比较方便🐴。一位同学问Aaron在大学时是否拥有自己的一辆车🏜。Aaron回答没有，他的第一辆车是在大学毕业后父母给他买的。他后来自己也买了一辆车，但有很多问题，所以要经常送去维修。然后🙅🏿，Aaron让每一个同学都说一下他们是否会买车以及想买什么类型的车🥨，大部分同学都说在工作以后才会考虑买车的问题🚣🏼‍♂️。

Amy告诉我们美国人对世界各地的人都很友好。此外，她还分享了一些她在跳舞方面的心得体会。另外一个同学和我们分享了她在美国一边游玩一边工作的经历⏏️。她在美国做过游泳池的救生员和其他工作，获得了一定的资金来支持她体验生活。

每个星期三晚上的英语角不仅为同学们提供了一个练习英语口语的平台👨🏻‍🚒，也给老师和同学们提供了一个相互分享交流的机会🌥。

English Corner: Life in America

By Huang Junting

On the evening of November 18th , Mr. Aaron Richards and Ms. Amy Elizabeth Call came to the English corner to communicate with students.

Firstly, Aaron shared some interesting knowledge about music with students. Different genres of music, such as soft music, pop as well as country music were discussed. Aaron said he listened to both Chinese and English music. Then, Aaron mentioned it was necessary to own a car in America for it was very convenient. A student asked Aaron if he had a car when he was at college. Aaron said his parents bought a car for him after he graduated and he bought one for himself afterwards. However, it was constantly broken and needed to be sent for maintenance. After that, Aaron asked students to talk about their opinions on the kinds of cars they planned to buy. Most students thought they would only consider buying cars after they found jobs.

Amy told us that Americans were friendly to people from all over the world. Besides, she shared her dancing experiences with us. A student also described her three-month stay in America: she worked as a lifeguard in a swimming pool which enabled her to support herself financially.

The English Corner not only provided students with a platform to practice their oral English but also created an opportunity for both teachers and students to exchange ideas.
