51. The English Corner

英语角

The English corner organized by the English Club is one of the school activities I like to attend most. The English corner is usually held in the school garden at 4:00 every Tuesday afternoon when it is fine and warm; if it is cold and wet, we'll have it in the Teaching Building Hall.

英语俱乐部组织的英语角是我最喜欢参加的校园活动之一，通常是周二的下午4点举行，天气晴朗暖和时，在学校花园内；天气寒冷潮湿时，就在教学楼的大厅里。

The last English corner impressed me most. Five American students, who are studying at Beijing University of Languages, were invited to take part in our activity last Tuesday. Jenny, one of them, gave us a talk on education in the USA and David made a speech on the American way of life.

上次的英语角给我的印象最深，五位在北京语言大学学习的美国学生上周二来参加我们的活动。其中，珍妮谈了有关美国的教育，大卫谈的是美国的生活方式。

Both of their talks were so full of wit and humor, that everyone present kept laughing and clapping. After that, there was free talk. Two hours passed in our talking and laughing, then it was time for us to say good-bye to our American friends. We saw them off at the school gate and hoped that they would come for our English corner again if they had time.

他们俩的讲演充满智慧和幽默，在场的人们不停地爆发出笑声和掌声。讲演之后是自由交谈。两个小时在我们的谈话和笑声中过去，我们该跟美国朋友告别了，我们一直送到校门口，希望他们有时间就来参加我们的英语角。

The English corner gives us a chance to talk with each other in English, talk with foreigners whose native language is English, and talk with English professors and experts. What a wonderful experience! I like it very much.

英语角给我们提供了讲英语的机会，与母语是英语的外国朋友、英语教授和专家交流的机会。多么好的经历啊！我非常喜欢英语角。
