11月28日晚上6点👤，在图书馆举行的英语角迎来了第一场冬雨🤜🏿。纵然外面寒风阵阵🚣🏼‍♂️，同学们的热情却半点未减🥁，甚至连讨论的话题都洋溢着蓬勃的暖意——如何度过圣诞节。本次出席的外教有Mr. Gerard Brent， Mr. Christopher Dockstader和Mr. Dallas📄。

说到圣诞节，自然就少不了丰富的圣诞大餐。Mr. Dallas说在英国的时候🤹🏿，饭桌上总少不了火鸡、南瓜派等的传统食物⇒。当被问到火鸡究竟好不好吃时🧔🏼，他撇撇嘴说他不太喜欢。他认为火鸡和鸭子的肉都太硬，不如普通鸡肉美味。Mr. Dallas还告诉同学们，火鸡比其他的鸡都要大，在中国的吉之岛可以买到🍘。对于在中国度过的圣诞节，他说他最不愿意的就是让妻子下厨，因为那样她会忙得没时间搭理他。他觉得那样的圣诞节太浪费，所以更想和妻子一起到外面庆祝节日👩‍👩‍👧‍👧。Mr. Dallas还向同学们征求意见，问该送什么礼物给他的妻子比较好。有同学建议为她买些香水首饰之类的奢侈品，也有同学认为买几件漂亮的衣服更划算🧑🏿‍✈️。而到最后，大家一致赞同他们去看场电影。

另一边，Mr.Gerard Brent表示他还没有明确的计划🚴⛪️。前几天他刚好找到了一条圣诞领带，他高兴地说圣诞节的时候一定要戴着上课。

图书馆充满着欢乐的节日气氛🙇🏿，虽然圣诞未至⏏️，但在外教们的生动讲述下🤾🏽，同学们都好像已经提前度过这个美好的西方节日了♓️。

English Corner - Happy Christmas

By ZHOU Xingzi

The English corner this week was held on 28th of November at 6 p.m. in the library. The cold rain failed to douse the enthusiasm of students who had a very fantasy topic - How to Enjoy Christmas. The presented oversea teachers were Mr. Gerard Brent, Mr. Christopher Dockstader and Mr. Dallas.

As the most important part of Christmas, the traditional meal was always a popular topic. Mr. Dallas said when he was in Britain, the Christmas was always centered around the turkey, pumpkin pie and so on. Being asked the taste of the turkey, he said he prefered chicken rather than turkey or duck, which was too tough to eat. He also told the students that turkey was bigger than other chicken, and they could buy it in Jusco if they like. For Christmas in China, the most difficult for him was to prepare a big meal at home, as his wife would be too busy to accompany him. So he was considering enjoying their Christmas outside. Mr. Dallas also asked the students to help him to choose a gift for his wife. Someone advised him to buy some jewelry or perfume, while some thought buying beautiful clothes also could be a perfect idea. Finally, everyone agreed that the best way was to enjoy a romantic movie together.

On the other side, Mr. Gerard Brent said he had not got an exact plan for Christmas. But several days ago he found a Christmas tie, and he said he would definitely wear the tie that day.

Although there were still several days before Christmas, it seemed that every one had already had this wonderful western festival with the overseas teachers.
