Intermediate
Throughout China around Chinese New Year, offices hold annual meetings where employees are compelled, er, encouraged to perform in variety shows for the entire office. Of course, this evening of embarrassment isn't without an upside. Raffles are often held with prizes like vacations for lucky employees. In this lesson, have a listen as two employees go through the ordeal.
