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.

       几天前，我跟一个好友聊天，他谈到自己虽然已经36岁了，但是仍下定了决心去学习好英语。事实上，英语可能只是你职业生涯中的一个工具，但是一旦你掌握了它，将会有更多的机会走向你。

       2016年3月18日开展的华电测控英语角，按照计划进入了第二个阶段的学习。在第二阶段中，大家将会学到话题式口语学习。本次口语学习的话题是“人们怎么样与别人沟通”。人们会用聊天，打电话，写信和网络等方式与别人进行交流。然后他们用看图说话的方式，学习了肢体语言的表达方法。

       最后，他们共同回顾了之前几次英语角中学习到的单词和常用表达方法。以后的英语角中，复习将成为一个必要环节，以确保大家的学习质量。

       俗话说：“时光一去不复返。”加油！不要放弃学习英语。珍惜每一次公司提供的学习英语的宝贵机会。有了坚实的英语基础，你不仅将在职业生涯上更加自信，而且更会让公司有更大的潜力去开发海外市场。
