Improve your Chinese presentation skills by discussing hot topics in China!

Having learned Chinese for years but still need to be more confident with your lexis and syntax used in formal contexts? Feeling your speech can not hit the bullseye? Desiring to pick a more precise expression and improve your presentation in a more organized manner?

Come to the hot topic discussion group, get to know what is happening in China, share your opinion with other participants, and facilitate your Chinese improvement!

In each session, the facilitator will introduce one current hot topic in China, then raise 3-4 relevant questions to lead the participants to form their opinions. After the participants express their thoughts, the facilitator will give them some suggestions on their speech from lexical, syntactic, and semantic perspectives. In this way, the participants hoped to enhance the language used in the Chinese presentation.
