This talk reminded me of another thing. There used to be an interesting charity event in November. It was called “Movember” if I remember it correctly. I am not sure if people still do it nowadays. Could Lulu and Anlan please give a talk about it if that’s okay? Thanks!
英语主播璐璐 回复 @构思0830: haha, we actually mentioned it in the “charity” episode of 闲话英伦！Anlan even took part in it once
