近两天天气有些转凉，同学们像往常的周三一样来到了图书馆。今天参与英语角的外籍教师有🧖🏿：Ms. Linda J. Visner，Ms. Dulene Cipiriano🤵♀️，Mr. Charlie Reis，Dr. Mathew Conduct🌷。到场的还有一位外国友人Mr. Long👨🏼🎓。
Dulene向同学们提出了一个问题：中国的家庭主妇会专门去学英语吗？大多数同学的回答都是否定的，Dulene 也这样认为🦚。但有一个同学提到他的奶奶会主动向他学习一些基础的英语单词和对话👨🏻🦲🐙。接着，Dulene问大家怎么样才能让更多大城市的优秀教师去较为偏僻的乡村地区教书，这个问题难住了大家，同学们以前并没有深入思考过这个问题🫡。最后🤦🏼，话题转向了科技对人类的影响👎🏽。Dulene提到，她小时候看的电视只有三个台，孩子们的选择很少，所以会专注于一件事🍄。现在的电视有几百个频道🔷，大家只是坐着不停地换台，科技或许在某种程度上阻碍了我们智力的发展。一位同学说，这是种改变🧙♀️，科技的进步是必然的，我们要去适应🫅🏻。另一位同学说🌱，科技的影响是由我们怎么去运用决定的😨。
Mr. Long则和同学们讨论了“视觉感知”。首先，他解释了“视觉感知”的定义🧔🏻♀️🕞，即对人的第一印象。当你第一次见一个人，通过你所看到的，用直觉去感知那个人的性格📤。接着他让同学们轮流说出对其中某两个同学还有对他自己的视觉感知，回答的结果各种各样，十分有趣👩🏼💻。
这一周的英语角随着夜色的降临拉上了序幕✨。不同的文化和不同的见解大大拓宽了同学们的眼界🫕。
English Corner: Chatting
By Luo Haoyue
Today, Ms.Linda J.Visner, Ms.Dulene Cipiriano, Mr. Charlie Reis, Dr. Mathew Conduct and Mr. Long attended the English Corner.
Dulene asked if the housewives in China learned English. Most of the students said no, but one student said his grandmother always asked him some basic English words. Then, Dulene raised a question: how to encourage more excellent teachers in big cities to teach in the countryside? However, students couldn’t think up a good idea because they haven’t thought about this problem beore. At last, the topic turned to technology. Dulene said when she was a child, there were only 3 channels on television. So the kids had to focus on one thing. But now we have hundreds of channels, we sit on sofa and just push the button to change the channel in 30 seconds. She thought to some extent technology had a bad influence on our intelligence. But a student disagreed with her. He said this was a kind of tendency, and people needed to adapt to the developing technology.
Mr. Long talked about “perception” with students. Perception is what you feel about the person who you meet the first time according to what you see. Mr. Long asked students to say their perceptions of two of the students and him. The various answers were really interesting.
With the laughter, the English Corner came to an end. Students learned a lot from different cultures and different ideas.
