5月11日，在这个凉爽的夏夜，Mr. Martin Stannard以及一位来自德国的留学生Boss在图书馆给同学带来了有趣的话题。他们都向同学们表达了自己对家乡的想法，以及来到中国后的感受。

交谈中， Martin 告诉我们，在他还年轻的时候就离开了家乡，来到中国。在他看来，家乡就是一个他出生的地方。现在这个世界，人口的流动性是十分强的。相比起家乡这个概念，他更在乎接下来的人生旅程。

这是德国留学生Boss在我们学校生活的第一年。他是一个喜欢旅游的人，并且享受独自一人的旅途，但同时他也很想念他的家乡。他表示自己很喜欢广东的早茶，并且去过了很多珠海的周边城市。同学们向他推荐了潮州和广州，邀请他去他们的家乡品尝美食。Boss告诉我们，他希望能够学习中文，中文是一门很美的语言。在场的同学们便和他用中文开起了玩笑，图书馆笑声一片。

在这次交谈中，大家和外教以及留学生交流了自己对于家乡不同的想法，十分多样也十分有趣。期待下一次的英语角！

English Corner: Hometown and Foreign Land

By Angie

On the cool night of May 11th, Mr. Martin Stannard and Boss, a German student brought us interesting topics. Both of them shared their views on hometown to us.

Mr. Martin told us that he left his hometown when he was young. In his view, hometown was just a place where he was born. Nowadays, there were highly mobile populations, and he cared more about the journey in the future.

It was the first year that Boss came to our school. On the contrary, he missed his hometown. Many students recommended cities around Zhuhai and invited him to their hometowns. Boss told us that he wanted to learn Chinese when he was staying in China and he thought Chinese was a beautiful language.

Students also expressed various interesting opinions about the hometown. They were looking forward to the English Corner next week.
