Conversation Topic
1. Hobbies
Everybody has hobbies, and everybody loves talking about them.
Hobbies could be passions too, you know. Some simple questions to
ask include:
· What are your hobbies?
· Why do you like your hobbies so much?
· How often do you do these hobbies?
· How long have you been doing these hobbies, and how did you
get started?
· What hobbies did you used to have, but now do not?
· Is it important to have hobbies? Why/why not?
2 Work
Lots of people work and have lots to say about it. I mean, if you’re
spending about a third of your waking hours at work, you may have
lots to say.
Some good questions are:
· What work do/did you do?
· Do/did you like your job? Why or why not?
· What is your dream job?
· What work is common in your city/area/country?
· What is your general view about work? Why?
3 Travel
Travel can be a great discussion topic – it encourages storytelling in
the past tense and inspires students to talk about culture and similar
topics.
Here are some possible questions:
· Where have you travelled?
· What countries have you been to?
· Where would you like to travel to in the future?
· When you travel, what safety precautions do you take?
· Do you like to prepare a lot before you travel, or just wing it?
· What are some cultural issues that you have
experienced while travelling? Do you have any funny or
embarrassing stories?
