10月11日下午,美国学者Paul F. Williamson先生为我校外事志愿者团队的同学们带来了一场名为Public Speaking in English的精彩讲座,从而拉开了澳门银银河官方网welcome新一轮外事志愿者培训的序幕。
Williamson先生认为你不需要“完美的英语”,其实完美的英语是不存在的,只要与你对话的人明白你的意思,那你所说的就是“完美的英语”。他从语调、语速、听众、对视、停顿、手势、走动、勤练、风格等方面给出了英语演说的建议。讲座气氛热烈,同学们踊跃发言和提问,把讲座推向高潮。
据悉,我校每一年从入学的新生中挑选一批高素质的英语爱好者组建一支外事志愿者队伍,并进行外事纪律、外事礼仪、武夷文化、武院风采等的培训。外事志愿者的热情的服务及流利的英语赢得了外教、留学生及来访的国际友人的一致赞誉。
