A few days ago, I talked with a close friendof mine who had made up his mind in learning English although he has alreadybeen 36 years old. Actually English may just be a tool for your career, butonce you have mastered it, more opportunities will come to you.

      HDSC English Corner, which was held onMarch 18th, 2016, began its second period as planned. In the secondperiod, oral English learning would be given. The topic this time was “How dopeople communicate with others”.  Peopleusually communicate with others by means of talking, ringing, writing and typing.Then they learnt some body languages together as a practice of oral English.

 At last,they reviewed the words and useful expressions they learnt before together.Revision will be a necessary part of the English Corner in the future to ensurethe quality of teaching and learning.

       As the old saying goes, “Time and tidewait for no man”. Cheer up, every one! Never give up learning English. Cherish everyopportunity provided by HDSC to learn English. With a solid foundation of English, you will be more confident in yourcareer and the company will have a greater potential to develop overseasmarkets.

       幾天前，我跟一個好友聊天，他談到自己雖然已經36歲了，但是仍下定了決心去學習好英語。事實上，英語可能只是你職業生涯中的一個工具，但是一旦你掌握了它，將會有更多的機會走向你。

       2016年3月18日開展的華電測控英語角，按照計劃進入了第二個階段的學習。在第二階段中，大家將會學到話題式口語學習。本次口語學習的話題是“人們怎么樣與別人溝通”。人們會用聊天，打電話，寫信和網絡等方式與別人進行交流。然后他們用看圖說話的方式，學習了肢體語言的表達方法。

       最后，他們共同回顧了之前幾次英語角中學習到的單詞和常用表達方法。以后的英語角中，復習將成為一個必要環節，以確保大家的學習質量。

       俗話說：“時光一去不復返。”加油！不要放棄學習英語。珍惜每一次公司提供的學習英語的寶貴機會。有了堅實的英語基礎，你不僅將在職業生涯上更加自信，而且更會讓公司有更大的潛力去開發海外市場。
