On November 13, we Shenzhen junior English journalists went to Shenzhen University to interview the English Association (EA). The EA was established in 1983. It organizes members and encourages them to participate in various activities such as English corners, speech contests, dubbing competitions and Christmas parties. It is one of the oldest associations at Shenzhen University and is open to everyone interested in English, aiming to foster further knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the English language and literature. After the members introduced themselves came question time. I asked about the activity schedule of the association. They answered patiently: “EA will take full advantage of its creativity to hold all kinds of activities in public to celebrate the Asian Games and the forthcoming Universiade.” Although I was nervous at first, I found it not so hard to maintain confidence after conquering my shyness. It was a memorable interview. |
