English Corner

英语角是指为提高英语口语水平而组成的，采用英语作为会话语言的一种社交活动，时间和地点都很灵活，多数中国大学都设有英语角，英语角大都是由学生自主举办的，在大学里面多数是由社团承办。其中北京的人大英语角是首屈一指的，参加人数有时超过一千人。

English Corner就是大家聚在一起专门锻炼英语口语的地方 可以有外国人来参加 是一种集体交流的地方 适合锻炼自己的英语口语以及和陌生人交流的能力 也是交朋友的好地方竞文想法很不错，大体框架都有，我这里有一些关于内容方面的具体建议：

1.找一些发音标准难度适中的录音，可以与本期话题相关的，让大家边听边译，在锻炼听力的同时，也可以锻炼翻译能力。

2.找一些原版的英文书籍，大家平时自己看，然后在英语角交流一些心得体会。

3.话题可以通过表演英语剧的形式展现，寓教于乐，可以提高大家积极性。

4.可以挑选一些大家喜爱的，适合大学生的英文歌曲，一起学习，一段时间后，可以组织英文歌曲大赛，范围可以扩大到全校，让众多同学参与进来，也可以提高英语角的知名度。

5.朗诵英文诗，背诵名人演说辞，练习英文绕口令，可以作为一些小插曲，也可以组织一些小比赛。

6.我们还要充分利用网络资源，将博客也划入英语角的一部分，所有的人都可以在博客里发表自己对英语的看法，学习英语的心得体会，以及有关的英语资料，让我们的博客也变成一个英语宝库。

以上是一些小的提议，大家看看是否行得通。

我认为英语角最大的卖点：是否有外教！吸引力大！（这是调查时大家最关心的！！）

英语角开展的形式：聚集人群，提供话题，任意交谈，提高口语；赏析外国影片，培养语言环境，练习挺立；增设BUSINESS ENGLISH课程。

英语角的主要组织者：校学生会学习部成员

英语角时间：最好定于每周周五下午

英语角活动时间：45分钟——2小时

英语角地点：借教室。不错的天气可以在室外吗？

英语角纳新：1.借助传单或者展台来进行宣传，招纳成员，根据所招人数，确定是否采取面试来确定人数。

2.根据面试情况，留意语音较好，健谈且活泼外向的学生，而后能适宜的安排划分好活动学习小组。

英语角宣传：周一在东院和公寓的公告栏里张贴出本周英语角活动的亮点（重点），开课时间及地点。

英语角活动主要内容：

1.大众：

1）每期准备一个话题，大家分组讨论，能否穿插演讲之类发言的机会。话题可以考虑：工作（求职英语）； 教育； 时事、财经、新闻`历史，娱乐(体育、音乐、电影、旅游、游戏、动漫)；生活（习俗、民族性格、日常习惯、视角互换）。

2）每期整理一些比较实用的口语，俚语，传印讲解给大家，当场运用（可以是简单造句，也可以是情景对话演绎）

2.BUICK：

1）从练习的效果来看，真实模仿电视剧或者电影会有更显著的进步，所以特别推荐大家看最新的全美热播连续剧，积累相关领域词汇和句型后再加以练习，提高会比较显著。

2）也可以考虑，赏析外国经典影片

3.BMW：

设置BUSINESS ENGLISH课程，实用也实际，也确实能学到点东西！！

5 Tips for Making Yourself Happier in the Next 30 Minutes

Maybe you’re feeling down because of the financial crisis. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by holiday tasks. Maybe you’re rushing around to try to get things done before you leave for vacation. Or maybe you're just having a lousy day.If so, you can make yourself happier – right now. In the next thirty minutes,

check off as many of the following items as possible. Each one will lift your mood, as will the mere fact that you’ve tackled and achieved some concrete goals; by doing so, you

boost your feelings of self-efficacy, which can boost Happiness.

1. Boost your energy. Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, even better, take a brisk ten-minute walk outside. Research shows that when people move faster, their metabolism speeds up, and the activity and sunlight are good for your focus, your mood, and the retention of

建议你去你市的英语培训中心拉赞助，搞一次英语讲座或英语演讲比赛，两全其美。我们就是这样搞得，效果很好。我这里有一份拉赞助的策划书，你可以参考一下。

2. Count your blessings. Take ten minutes to think about all the things in your life that are going right, about all the things that other people do to help you, about all the things that you’re thankful for. In the tumult of everyday life, it’s very easy to focus on the negative and to lose sight of what really matters.

3. Reach out to friends. Make a lunch date or send an email to a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Having warm, close bonds with other people is the KEY to Happiness, so take the time to stay in touch. Somewhat surprisingly, socializing boosts the moods not only of extroverts, but also of introverts.

4. Perform an action that reflects your values. Do you think organ donation is a

good idea? Sign up online to be one yourself; it takes less than a minute. Worried about climate change? Refill your water bottle from the tap instead of buying a couple of bottles throughout the day. The First Splendid Truth holds that to work on Happiness, we should think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. Living up to your values will help you “feel right.”

5. Act happy. Put a smile on your face right now. Research shows that even a fake smile has a positive influence on your emotions—turns out that just going through the motion of Happiness brightens your mood. And if you’re smiling, other people will perceive you as being friendlier and more approachable.

Some people worry that wanting to be happier is a selfish goal. To the contrary. Studies show that happier people are more sociable, likeable, healthy, and productive—and they’re more inclined to help other people. So in working to boost your own Happiness, you’re benefiting others as well.
