10月12日晚上的英语角准时在图书馆一楼进行💆🏿，尽管今天下着毛毛细雨，但仍然没有浇灭同学们来英语角的热情。今天到场的外教有Mr.Byron Shermen,Mr. Christopher Dockstader,Mr. Michael Fisher,Mr. Brett Gearing,Mr. David Riddiford,Mr. Darren Mullins以及Mr. Matthew Conduct.

Chris是一个辩论老师，他向我们解释了美国高中辩论和我校的辩论的不同。他说我们学校辩论赛经常更换主题。但是美国高中的学生一整年只围绕一个主题展开辩论👨‍🔧，这能使他们在某个主题方面变得更专业。

有同学问到Brett中国课堂和美国课堂有什么不同🧇✬， Brett认为中国的课堂有时候太过死板了，很多时候都是老师在说学生在下面玩手机🦸🏼，他认为这样不好🗯，所以他很希望活跃一下课堂气氛，提高学生的参与度🎛。

在一片欢声笑语中英语角结束了🤾🏽‍♂️🏌️‍♂️，但学习还没结束。

English Corner: Study and Debate

ByQin Yue and Chen Jiali

On the evening of Octorber 12th, the English Corner was held on the first floor in the library. Mr.Byron Shermen,Mr. Christopher Dockstader,Mr. Michael Fisher,Mr. Brett Gearing,Mr. David Riddiford,Mr. Darren Mullins and Mr. Matthew Conduct attended the English Corner.

Chris was a teacher who gave lectures on debating and he explained the different debating styles between American high schools and the BNUZ. He said the debating motions in BNUZ ware always changed while only one motion was debated in American high schools the whole year so that they could be more professional in that topic.

On the other side, Brett talked about the differences between Chinese and American classes. Brett thought the classes in China were a little bit boring because instead of caring about their academic performance in class, many students just played their cellphones. So he wanted to make some changes about it. Brett also hoped the students could be more active in class.

The English Corner ended in laughter, but study would not end.
