2018年4月22日，中国科学技术大学mba1707班“open seven，17来”英语沙龙在2018年春季实践活动周的第二天又一次如约而至，这是1707班自2017年入学以来举办的第五次活动。此次活动新增亮点，在中国科大联合会学习部的支持与协调下，我们联合了合肥第一头马英文俱乐部，一起展开了一场生动而又有趣的英文演说活动。
本次英语沙龙有别以往，我们引入了头马俱乐部的活动流程规则，整场活动分为备稿演讲、集席问答训练和讲评员训练三个环节，充分锻炼了同学们的口语表达能力、临场应变能力以及经验分享和评论表述能力。大家就本次演讲的主题“恐惧症”展开了精彩的表述，而即兴环节中从“恐惧症”这个主题上延伸出的更多有趣话题比如：你是否有手机恐惧症？你是否有周一恐惧症？你是否惧怕生二胎？等等，这些时尚而又前卫的话题也极大地提高了全场同学的兴趣，并引发了大家的激情演讲与讨论。
而一场好的英文演讲活动也少不了不同角色分工下的相互协作。别小看了这场简单的演讲活动，足足有10个角色贯穿全程，来自mba1707和头马俱乐部的10余位同学共同参与配合，他们有的是主导整场活动流程的toastmaster，有的是把握每个环节时间控制的计时员，有的是事前做过精心准备的备稿演讲者，有的是英文水平超高的点评官和语法官，在大家的共同努力下整场活动精彩纷呈。
活动的最后，按照头马俱乐部的传统，我们评出了本场活动的最佳角色。来自mba1707的同学和头马俱乐部的同学们都收获颇丰，期待未来中国科大mba能同合肥第一头马英文俱乐部继续合作，展开更多的英文上的交流和思想上的碰撞，为更多热爱英语学习与演讲的伙伴们提供一个展示自己的舞台。
