The English Corner this week was held on 9th of October at 6 p.m. in the Library. Nothing can affect the enthusiasm of the students to take part in the English Corner and many of them arrived before six o’clock. Today’s topic wasThe Choice of College Students. The overseas teachers who attended the English Corner included Mr. Christopher Dockstader, Mr. Sean McHugh, Ms. Dulene Cipriano, Mr. Andrew Chun, Mr. Tim Musgrave and Mr. Dave Jaye.

When it came to the topic of the choice of college students, Ms. Dulene Cipriano said when she taught in Beijing, she found that most of her students would like to be an exchange student so as to learn something different from China in a new environment. Besides, she also asked the students whether they wanted to be an exchange student or not. Some of them said yes because it could help them to broaden their knowledge. And other students who said no might concern more of their financial status.

At the same time, Mr. Sean McHugh shared his choice of major with the students. He also mentioned that both personal interests and whether it is a favorable major for finding a job are important.

After having a conversation with the overseas teachers, most of the students learned a lot. What’s more, the teachers and the students got closer through the English Corner.
