#conversation practice

I think I threw myself into trying to have conversations in my language of study way too early! I thought I knew enough but then I’d try to answer the replies or continue the convo and be completely stuck. So when did you think you were ready? How would you determine whether you’d be capable of keeping the topic going and that you know you know enough vocab and phrases to speak and be understood? 

Let's Have an English Conversation About Celebrities - Real English Conversation #EnglishConversation #Englishlesson #Celebrities Let's have a conversation about celebrities. Do you like any celebrities in your country? Today, we will practice English by talking about celebrities and the people we see as heroes. Start a discussion about famous people from your city or country. Do you have a strong opinion on celebrities and their lives? Celebrities are a great conversation topic with most people. Don't feel lost in a dialogue if the topic of celebrities comes up. Let's practice talking about common conversation topics. 

Today's questions: Have you ever seen a celebrity in person? What did you do? Which celebrity would you like to meet? What would you do if you could spend a day with this person? Do you think famous people have the right to have a private life? Do you think it's moral to sell your private life to the media? Do you approve of people who become famous as a consequence of appearing again and again in the media and not because of having an artistic career? What do you think of the paparazzi? Why do you think there is such a high demand for gossip magazines and gossip TV programs? What are the pros and cons of being a celebrity? What do you think of fans and fan-clubs ? Did you have any heroes when you were a teenager? Why do you think adolescents need to have heroes?

Practice these conversation questions with me while you are alone. There is no pressure in my lessons, so you can relax and answer to the best of your ability.

Stop Awkward Silence in Conversation - Go To Topics for Natural Conversation #EnglishConversation #Englishlesson #awkwardsilence What do you do when you have an awkward silence in a conversation. You have a backup topic that you can always talk about. Everyone should have a few topics that they are comfortable speaking on at any time. This is a good skill to have to prevent awkward silences. Let's practice this conversation strategy. Awkward silence in a conversation is the worst thing that can happen. You lose confidence in your ability to speak because you think that "the silence" is your fault. It isn't. Awkward silences are completely normal. So if you are prepared for them with a backup topic, you can be a great conversationalist. 

Today's questions: What movie did you recently watch? Was it good? What was it about? How does the movie start? Then what happens? Wow. Then what? Was the ending good? Would you recommend that I see it too? What kind of movies do you normally watch?

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d-xcqdQxV8) #WorldEnvironmentday #airpollution #conversationpractice In today's news, we will discuss World Environment Day. This year it is hosted in Beijing and the theme is Air Pollution. We will have a conversation about Air pollution and World Environment Day since it is so important to our future. It is also a great topic to discuss since every country suffers from air pollution. I am your English teacher Chris, and I am excited to have a conversation with you. The UN regards clean air as a basic human right, yet most people in the world breathe polluted air. Let's discuss air pollution and its effect on the world and the people in it. Let's have a conversation in English about how we can reduce air pollution and its causes. We will answer some questions from the article and talk about specific parts of the article to better understand what is happening on this year's World Environment Day. Always remember to wear your mask if you live in an area with heavy Air Pollution. I personally use a Vogmask because it is very comfortable and effective for filtering out fine air pollution particles. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a comfortable mask.
