Discussing these questions will naturally open up other new topics you have never spoken about before. In addition, these question topics are varied and unique so there is plenty of opportunity for new English vocabulary!
Of course, not all of these topics will apply to you or your conversation partner when you practice English speaking. That in and of itself is a conversation starter. Perhaps some of these questions have no answer because you’ve never experienced them. You can discuss why or why not a certain question is applicable. In addition, do not be afraid to delve into deeper, more personal, or controversial topics with your English conversation partner. Often times, our greatest language enrichment comes from our emotionally charged discussions and conversations.
Question prompts are a great idea if you and your English partner are running out of topics to practice English speaking. Obviously, there are thousands of more question prompts to incorporate into your English lessons. Feel free to make your own list of question prompts after you and your conversation partner have discussed all these prompts!
