5月6日晚👮‍♂️，又到了每周一次的英语角时间，同学们热情积极地参与了英语角的交流✴️𓀀。参与本次英语角的外籍教师有Mr. Martin Stannard 和Mr. Miguel Munevar🤥。

Martin提到了国家之间文化的差异。他说他几年前来到中国教书👩🏿‍🚀，后来当假期他回到英国时🙉🤳🏻，他的朋友们都问他中国怎么样。但他无法告诉他们👊🏿👙，无法向他们解释中国到底是一个怎样的国家🧑🏻‍⚕️，因为中国和他所处的国家太不一样了。它体现在人们思考的方式不同🦶🏽，行为的表达不同，这些都是融入在中国的文化中的，是用语言无法向他人表达的。他同时也表明了他在中国生活了这么久后也学到了不少的中国文化🌿。

在图书馆的另一边⏳，Mr. Migvel Munevar 提到了一种用舞蹈去交朋友的方式。他说在他们国家交朋友时展现自己的才能会很重要，而他很喜欢舞蹈💿，所以他经常会用跳舞的形式结交一些志同道合的朋友🙆🏼‍♂️。但他提到中国人一般不会采用这种方式⛹🏻‍♀️，这就是国与国之间文化的差异。Mr. Migvel Munevar还建议同学们可以在课余时间多去参与一些宴会，这样不仅可以锻炼自己的才能🧔🏽‍♂️🏸，培养自己的性格♗，还能多认识一些有趣的朋友🧺。

英语角是一个可以让你感受到各个国家不同文化氛围的地方，在语言的沟通与交流中是思想的碰撞，在这里你能收获到知识和快乐，希望同学们可以多来参加英语角🥐。

English Corner: Cultural Differences

By Jiang Tong

May 7th was the English corner time. Mr. Martin Stannard and Mr. Miguel Munevar attended the activity.

Mr. Martin Stannard mentioned the cultural differences between the two nations. He said when he first came to China several years ago and then went back to Britain on vacation. Many of his friends asked him what China was like. But he couldn’t tell them exactly and couldn’t express what kind of country China was because China was so different from other countries. It is reflected in the way you think and the way you behave. These are all parts of the Chinese culture and they couldn’t be expressed only by words. Martin also said he learned much Chinese culture after he lived so long in China.

Mr. Miguel Munevar referred that people could make friends through dancing. He said it was important to show your talent when you wanted to make friends with others in his country. He loved dancing so he could make some like-minded friends happily. But he mentioned Chinese usually wouldn’t take this way and this was the cultural differences between the nations. Mr. Miguel Munevar also advised students to attend some parties in order to develop one’s ability and make more interesting friends.

The English corner is where you could feel different culture atmosphere and harvest knowledge and happiness.
