Articles for conversation - #26

As millions quit smoking, is vaping really the better alternative? Is regular tourism too boring for the ultra-wealthy? Why are people so fascinated with ghost towns?

Some of these stories are very relevant considering recent news, so it is likely many of you will have already formed opinions on some of these topics.

Note - please continue to send in stories or topics that you are interested in as it makes for great conversation when you have a personal interest in the topic!

You can contact me directly through email, or through the contact form found at the top of the page.


Here are the articles for this week’s conversation classes. Of course, you can still use these even if you are not taking conversation classes. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these.

Try to note some new or interesting language that you see or hear in the articles or video and bring it to the class.
