On October 26th, an interesting Business English Corner was held at Miu Er Garden. Foreign teachers regularly invite guest speakers from different regions to share local business customs, and this time two foreign teachers, Cameron and Pedro, hosted the event for students.

10月26日，妙儿花园举办了一场精彩的商务英语角。外教团队经常邀请来自不同地区的特邀教师分享家乡的商业习俗，本次由两位外籍教师卡梅伦（Cameron）和帕德罗（Pedro）主持本次活动。

It was the first time for many students to take part in such an activity. The class turned out relaxing and energetic, giving participants a great chance to learn new cultures from South Africa.

不少同学是第一次参加这类活动。整场课程轻松而富有活力，让大家得以了解南非的多元新文化。

During the session, Pedro introduced unique South‑African cultures through presentations and group discussions. What impressed students most was his introduction to a special local festival, which brought much amusement to the audience.

课堂上，帕德罗借助授课与小组讨论，带领大家了解南非独特的文化。令同学们印象最深的是他介绍的南非特色节日，内容十分有趣。

Students asked questions and communicated actively with the guest teacher. They picked up many practical tips about the dos and don’ts of doing business in South Africa.

同学们积极向特邀教师提问互动，学到了许多在南非开展商务活动的实用技巧与注意事项。

Pedro told the students that South Africa is a multicultural country with 12 official languages. He reminded everyone that when meeting new people, we should ask more questions and avoid labelling others, for every individual is unique. We must respect all local cultures and customs.

帕德罗向大家介绍，南非是一个拥有12种官方语言的多元文化国家。他提醒大家：初次与人交往要多提问，不要随意给人贴标签，每个人都是独一无二的，我们必须尊重各类当地文化与习俗。

Students summed up key business communication points as three dos and three don’ts. Before starting business, communication is essential. Greetings matter a lot, and we should communicate with others from heart to heart. Instead of being lazy, we need to keep learning. Do not shut yourself out just because you are not from South Africa. You will receive warm treatment once you integrate into the group.

同学们将商务沟通要点总结为三做三不做：开展业务之前沟通必不可少；问候十分重要，应当用心与人交流；要用学习代替懈怠。不要因为自己不是南非人就自我隔绝，主动融入群体，就会收获友善对待。

Cameron also taught practical business communication skills. He presented a case study about a Chinese supplier selling solar panels to South Africa and inspired a brainstorm. Students chose different roles and carried out role‑plays to solve the company’s real‑world problems. Though this part was challenging, it was highly inspiring and interactive.

卡梅伦也带来了商务沟通技巧教学。他展示了中国供应商向南非销售太阳能板的案例，发起头脑风暴。同学们分配角色，通过角色扮演解决企业现实难题。这一环节虽有难度，但启发性、互动性极强。

Group discussions and role‑plays allowed students to experience real‑life business communication scenarios.

小组讨论与角色扮演，让同学们真切体验真实场景下的商务沟通。

All students enjoyed the wonderful night with teachers and peers. For participants, the Business English Corner was a fresh experience. Everyone kept growing through exchanging different ideas.

同学们十分享受和老师、同学们共度的美好夜晚。对参与者而言，商务英语角是全新体验，大家在观点交换中不断获得成长。

This meaningful activity greatly improved students’ business English competence and helped build practical international business awareness.

这场意义十足的活动大幅提升了同学们的商务英语能力，培养了实操性的国际商务意识。

Many students shared that they could make steady progress each time they join the Business Corner. Even though the event comes to an end, those sweet memories will last forever.

不少同学表示，每参加一次商务英语角，自己就会取得更多进步。虽然活动终会落幕，但美好的回忆将永存心底。
