你有什麼樣的人生志向嗎？有在努力朝著夢想邁進嗎？管院英語學習角落於 11 月 29 日舉辦本學期第 2 場交流活動 ——「Conversations on What Truly Matters」，由導師何佩蓉 Haley 帶領討論。Haley從中山大學外文系畢業，也曾經擔任英文角落的講師。這次的活動主要讓同學用英文討論有關人生志向、快樂與成功，以及愛與財富等重要議題。

講師將同學打散分組，首先請同學互相自我介紹，然後進入第一輪討論 : 他們人生中的三個重要志向是什麼 ? 例如在三十歲前財富獨立、去十個國家旅遊。有同學分享自己月初出車禍了，希望自己可以完全康復、買夢寐以求的車，還有在二十五歲前財政獨立。也有同學的願望非常簡單，就是開心渡過每一天、每天都求知若渴，以及找到一生中最愛。

緊接著第二個問題：你會更想要一份穩定的工作，還是具挑戰性且辛苦的工作？有同學表示自己偏向找一份穩定工作、儲錢，待工餘時間再做自己有興趣的事 ; 有同學從軍校轉到劇藝系，就是希望找到讓他有熱情的工作 ; 財管系的同學表示，比起進大公司，他更想要自己創業，因為他能預視自己無法承受營營役役的生活，挑戰性的工作更讓他感興趣。

同學們在此次活動中主動的與夥伴用英語討論、勇於表達想法，偶爾還會請講師再多給點時間讓他們分享。在過程中，同學掌握到一些常用字彙，例如志向 Aspiration，優先 Prioritize，關鍵 Essential。這些思考和討論，都有助同學們將來與外國友人更深入的交流，了解不同國家的人對人生的想像。

【Management College Presents: Conversations on What Truly Matters - English Corner】

The College of Management English Learning Corner held its second exchange event of the semester on November 29th: "Conversations on What Truly Matters." The discussion was led by Haley He, a graduate of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Sun Yat-sen University and a former instructor at the English Learning Corner. This event aimed to encourage students to engage in English discussions on key life topics such as aspirations, happiness and success, as well as love and wealth.

The event began with self-introductions, followed by the first discussion: What are the three most important aspirations in your life? For example, some students shared goals like achieving financial independence before turning 30 or traveling to ten countries. One student, who had recently been in a car accident, expressed a desire for a full recovery, buying his dream car, and achieving financial independence by 25. Others shared simpler wishes, such as enjoying every day with happiness, staying hungry for knowledge, and finding the love of his life.

The second question posed was: Would you prefer a stable job or a challenging and demanding one? Some students said they would choose a stable job to save money and pursue their interests in their free time. Others mentioned shifting from military school to theater arts in pursuit of a job they’re passionate about. A finance student expressed a preference for entrepreneurship over joining a large company, believing they couldn’t endure a monotonous lifestyle and would find challenging work more appealing.

Through this activity, students explored their core values and envisioned their futures while practicing listening and expressing their opinions in English. Along the way, they learned useful vocabulary like aspiration, prioritize, and essential. These reflections and discussions will help them engage more deeply with international friends and better understand how people from different cultures view life.
