12月11日→👨🏽‍🌾，英语角在图书馆大厅如期举行✌🏼。每个星期三💇🏻，都是外教与学生欢聚畅谈的时刻👭。本次英语角的主题是“西方人如何保持健康”👨🏽‍🔬。出席的外教有Dr. Richard Stopford、Mr. Christopher Dockstader👩🏼‍🚀、Mr. Martin Stannard、Mr. Charles Harrison和Mr. Brian Anderson👂🏽。

当谈及到如何保持身体的健康时，Mr. Christopher Dockstader强调要兼顾内外在因素🎟🧘🏼‍♂️，他在学生年代十分爱好铁人三项运动。据他介绍这是新兴综合性运动竞赛项目𓀅，由天然水域游泳🤛🏽、公路自行车、公路长跑三项目按顺序组成。运动员需要一鼓作气赛完全程🍧，因此对运动员的体能和耐力上的要求很严格🧑🏿‍🦲。有一个女同学讲到了她爱好爵士舞🌊，因为爵士舞可以帮助她保持体形。现场还放起了爵士音乐，可谓是其乐融融💥👨🏼‍🍼。而Mr. Brian Anderson则谈及到西方人对营养食物的摄取比较注重，他还拿出了他准备的花生跟现场的学生分享💇🏻‍♂️。Mr. Charles Harrison说他是一个喜欢亲近自然的人❗️，所以他喜欢户外活动🧖🏿，谈及到他是否报名参加珠海的马拉松活动🧑‍⚖️，他则遗憾地表示因为自己的体能没办法参加。

冬季已至，外教们提醒同学们学习之余要有适量的运动。英语角不仅拉近了外教与学生之间的距离🤣，更为这个冬天增添了些许暖意🪙。
