第二周星期三傍晚，图书馆迎来了本学期第一次英语角活动🗡🔥。图书馆一楼大厅，外教Mr. Darren Mullins和Mr. Mike Fisher周围围满了前来交流的学生。

Mr. Mike Fisher正与同学们讨论着环境适应的话题🚴🏽‍♀️。他说💄，去一个新的城市，人们往往很难适应当地的生活，比如饮食和习俗👩🏿‍🚀。同学们纷纷表示同意，并补充说道偏北部地区的人会很难适应靠近赤道地区的生活。来自加拿大的Mr. Mike Fisher却表示，虽然加拿大很冷，但他很喜欢与加拿大天气有着极大差异的珠海，还表示他很期待下周潮湿天气的到来，引来周围笑声一片。

另一边的Mr. Darren Mullins则与同学们聊到了旅游。他说他去过中国很多地方，每去一个地方都会用相机记录下来。他还告诉同学们他比较喜欢去一些小城市旅游👬🏼，因为小城市会保留很多本土的东西，更能让他感受到异域的风情🥎，而大城市因趋于国际化，满大街的必胜客肯德基使它们丢失了原本的风土特色👳🏼💁‍♂️。与Mr. Darren Mullins的对话让同学们对旅行有了新的认识。

这次的英语角使同学们收获颇丰，大家在英语角结束后不舍地离开📲，并热切地期待下一次英语角的到来。

English Corner: Random Talk on Places

by Chen Shunxin

The first English corner in this term was held in the library lobby. Mr. Mike Fisher and Mr. Darren Mullins were surrounded by students early at 6 p.m.

Mr. Mike Fisher talked about adaptation to different environments with the students. He said that people always struggled to get accustomed to the local life of different cities, such as food and customs. One of the students added that it’s difficult for people from the north to be habituated to the lifestyle near the equator. Mr. Mike Fisher, who is from Canada, said that he preferred the weather in Zhuhai even it was quite different from that in Canada.

On the other hand, Mr. Darren Mullins was discussing travelling with the students. He said that he had traveled to many places in China with a camera recording different scenery. He claimed that he preferred to go to some small cities, which retained a lot of local characteristics and it’s easy to feel the difference. He explained that most of the big cities had been surrounded by Pizza Huts and KFCs, having lost their originality. After the conversation, students got a deeper understanding on travelling.

Students had learned a lot from the English Corner this evening, and everyone was looking forward to the same time next week.
