CONVERSATION PARTNER 1 - Conv Club at the Globe. Meeting 1

The first week of conversation groups at the Globe there was a very low turnout and only one young man from Taiwan showed up. Mario, my partner for these sessions and I worked very hard to make the situation less threatening for this young man, especially since he was the only one there and only slightly conversant, I think Mario and I were also trying to figure out exactly what our roles in this process would be. Nevertheless, the Taiwanese man, Mario and I spent most of our time discussing our backgrounds and getting acquainted. Later, I expressed my concern about the low turnout to some people at the CIES in order to recruit others.
