5月18日晚，又迎来了一周一次的英语角。今天到场的外教有两位，分别是Mr. Robert Mateja和来自圣玛利亚大学的Dr. Harvey Millar。

Robert谈到自己有计划去澳大利亚，询问了同学们对澳大利亚的的看法并讨论了澳大利亚的气候和环境。之后他提到了自己去过韩国的经历，同学们问他是否会说韩语，Robert说在韩国时身边的人都说英语，因此他不需要在日常生活中说韩语。

另一边的Harvey首先介绍了自己。他来自加拿大，是一名数学老师。由于参加了圣玛丽大学的中加合作项目才来到了中国，在我们学校主要教授一些关于经济学的课程，并想通过我校的一些课程来挑选学生进入圣玛丽大学学习。他问同学们提起加拿大时会想到什么，有一些同学想到了枫叶，还有一些同学想到了寒冷的气候。最后，Harvey和同学们聊起了自己在加拿大经历的一些趣事。

通过这次英语角，同学们了解到了在不同国家学习的乐趣，同时也对澳大利亚和加拿大两个国家有了更多的认识。

By Nie Xiqian

On 18th May, Dr. Harvey Millar, from the Saint Mary’s University, and Mr. Robert Mateja attended the English Corner.

Firstly, Mr. Robert talked about the plan to go to Australia with students. When a student talked about the weather in Australia, Mr. Robert said the temperature was so great. Meanwhile, he also asked if the students had any travel plan to go to Australia. Then he told the students his studying experience in Korea. Some students wondered if he could speak Korean. Mr. Robert explained the people around him all spoke English, so he did not need to speak Korean.

At the same time, Harvey introduced himself to students. He was a mathematics teacher from Canada. He came to teach financial courses and wanted to pick out some good students to study in Saint Mary’s University. Harvey asked students what they would think of when talking about Canada, and some students said the maple leaf while others said the cold weather. Finally, he referred some interesting experiences in Canada.

In English Corner, students got more information about studying in other countries and learned more details about Australia and Canada.
