奥林匹克催生英语学习热潮

"English is a little bit like the working language in multicultural working environments," says Daniel, 21.

21岁的丹尼尔说："英语有点像多文化工作环境中的工作语言。"

"In big companies, many documents are in English. So young people who want to find a better job in giant companies, they'd better speak good English."

"在大公司中，很多文件都是英文的，所以那些想在大公司中找到好工作的年轻人最好能说一口流利的英语。"

Daniel and Ms Jiahui, who go by the names of Lily, are on their first trip outside China. They're attending English classes between visits to Sydney's tourist attractions.

对于丹尼尔和莉莉（沈家慧的英文名）来说，这是他们第一次出国旅行。他们在悉尼观光之余也参加了英语课学习。

"The teaching method here is quite different from what we have in China," says Lily, a second year international business student at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.

"这里的教学模式和我们在中国所接受的大不相同。"来自广东外语外贸大学国际贸易专业大二年级的莉莉表示。

"Teachers have more interaction with the students, and the students are engaged in the whole process. It's quite different."

"师生间的互动更多，学生参与到整个环节之中，与国内完全不同。"

Daniel says the local courses explore topics never covered in China, such as the history of pop music. He says the students are from all over the world and are forced to use English because it's the only common language.
