Questions people ask

What are good conversation topics?

Good conversation topics are open-ended and easy to relate to: food, travel, hobbies, memories, and 'what would you do if' questions. They invite stories instead of yes-or-no answers.

What are fun debate topics for students?

Lighthearted debates like 'Is a hot dog a sandwich?' or 'Should homework be banned?' work well for practice because everyone has an opinion and nobody gets hurt. See the 'Fun debates' category.

Can I use this for English speaking practice?

Yes. The 'Speaking practice' category is made of prompts that work for IELTS-style speaking practice and language exchanges. Set a one or two minute timer and talk.
