今夜，Mr. Jeremy Jenkin和同学们在图书馆一起展开了愉快的谈话。

最先开始的话题是食物🟣。Jeremy告诉大家🦣🫄🏽，他曾经在重庆生活过一段时间🤬，他对重庆的食物只有“辣”的印象了。在他看来➖，美国人和欧洲人对食物都特别挑剔🥊，但是他认为自己并没有那么严重。不过，他对中国人吃动物的内脏表示不能理解，他说♢，“鸡身上有那么多好吃的部位，为什么要去吃内脏和它们的脚呢？”

接着， Jeremy告诉我们，在美国有各种各样的食物，因为美国有来自不同国家的人🥬。在美国，如果你想去旅行🤜🏽，去吃各种食物💆🏻‍♀️，你只需要一把枪和一部车⛹🏿‍♀️。你的朋友会告诉你哪里有趣😤⚫️。

在美国，有一种文化叫“沙发客”，免费提供住宿。同学们表示这对家庭有些危险💩。但Jeremy认为🐄，坏人是存在🤷🏿👨🏽‍🎓，但只是很小的一部分🙇🏽。在美国，“沙发客”会造访一家人，并与主人聊天，告诉他自己的旅游经历🖕🏿。之后⛹️‍♀️👨‍🏫，他们便会询问主人自己是否能借住一晚，主人通常会说🧔🏿‍♂️，“当然了，我们是朋友了。”

Jeremy与同学们分享了自己的单车旅行和烧烤经历，这让这次的英语角活动的气氛十分热烈〽️。

English Corner: Food and “Couch Surfing”

By Angie

Tonight, Mr. Jeremy Jenkin and students had an enjoyable conversation.

The first topic was food. Jeremy told us that he had lived in Chongqing for a period of time. And the only word to describe Chongqing food was spicy. In his opinion, American and European were picky to food. He showed that he understood why Chinese people liked eating offal. He said, “There are so many perfect meats on the chicken, but why do you eat their feet or something inside?”

Then, Jeremy told us that there were many kinds of food in America, because people in America were many different countries . What’s more, if you wanted to travel in America, you only needed a gun and a car, and your friends would tell you some interesting places.

“Couch surfing” is a culture in America. Some students thought that was dangerous for the family. However, Jeremy thought that there were very few bad guys. “Couch surfing” would visit a family and shared his experience of travel around the world. After that, he would ask for accommodation. Usually, the host would say, “It’s ok, you''re my friend now.”

What’s more, Jeremy shared his experience of bicycling journey and barbecue. The atmosphere of the English Corner was perfect.
