One evening I visited the English corner of our university. It lies heside our university library where trees and flowers grow and there is a spacious ground. Every evening,large numbers of people go there to improve their English, but I had never been there before.
When I arrived there, many people had already been there. I looked around and found that most of them were college students. Some of them were talking in English in twos and threes. From time to time they laughed joyfully. To my great surprise, I even fimnd three foreigners talking and smiling with stone students who were listening with great interest. Just then,a tall student came towards me and asked: "Shall we have a talk in English?" My heart beat very fast at that moment for this was the first time for me to visit the English corner. Anyway, I managed to say "Yes". Soon we were talking freely about our studies, our lives, our hobbies as well as our problems of learning English. Time went fast, and it was already 10 o‘clock before I realized it.
I had a good time there and was glad to learn a lot at the corner. I understood the proverb better: "Practice makes perfect."
2)A Description of an English Corner
I am really delighted to write this report to you about the English Corner I have just attended. Generally speaking, this activity is both helpful and interesting. I do think that holding regular English corner is such a wise way for all students who can definitely benefit from it.
As for the time and place for this activity, I believe we can make it happen twice a week. Students can meet every Wednesday and Sunday evening in the Student Center Activity Room One. By making them come twice, they can achieve more than before.
With regard to the activities, my suggestion is that we invite at least one foreign teacher to come every time we meet so that students’ interests and motivation will be kept. Moreover, if at least two teachers of English from China can participate in this activity every time, the English corner can be really a good place for students to improve their oral English.
