My First Time at the English Corner
It was a beautiful Sunday. Our teacher told us that there would be an English Corner near the gate of the People＇s Park. I started off soon after breakfast.
It was already 9:20 when I got there. To my joy, the English Corner had just been on for a few minutes. Oh, what a big crowd! There were professors, teachers, cadres, engineers, workers, students and PLA men. Some were reading the SSP (Shanghai Students＇s Post), some were talking while others were listening attentively. Everyone was eager to learn from others.
I joined them in their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limited that I couldn＇t follow them or make myself understood. I was also afraid that someone might laugh at me. But a smiling face here and an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease③. I became bolder and came to speak English with them freely.
We talked about the situation at home and abroad, about our school life, our hobbies and our ideas. We exchanged experience in our studies with one another and shared views, all in English. I learned a lot of knowledge and made a lot of friends. Through practice, we all improved our English.
The day was unforgettable. Though today we speak only in simple English, we all believe that tomorrow we will make greater progress in English.
