On the afternoon of April, 2^nd, Bill Isherwood, US scholar and ITP’s foreign expert was invited to give a lecture on the causes and effects of global climate change.  

ITP’s graduates, professors and some administrative staff who were interested in the field all sat in on the lecture. They were impressed by the vivid illustrations, both verbally and graphically. Intrigued by the variety of the popular versions concerning the causes of global climate change, the participants were also active to discuss with Prof Isherwood after his presentation about the causes and effects of recent global warming. This lecture not only offered a good opportunity to practice English, it also solidified the students’ determination to probe into the mechanism of global climate from their own majoring fields.
