[OEC] Friendship and Intimacy

Friendship and Intimacy

Introduction

Friendship clearly plays an important role in our life. However, people sometimes get confused and tired in an intimate relationship, and then even choose to stay far away from friendship. What’s your idea of friendship and intimacy? Let’s talk about them tonight!

Process

The OEC (Online English Corner) will start at 20:00, Monday and last for 1 hour. There will be two roles in every round, host and other members. If you have any question (eg: cannot understand the proposition, cannot figure out the correct words, etc.), the host is there waiting to help you or you could ask for help from other members.

Note:

We held the OEC via Tencent Meeting, we suggest you to attend 10 minutes before it starts so that you could check your device and get used to open/close microphone.

Please make sure there is no background noise during the meeting or you may have to mute yourself when you are not speaking.
