For those of you that take conversation classes, or are interested in the classes, we typically use some articles and videos for our discussion. By choosing some material that we can debate and have a deeper discussion about, we are really testing your English skills in these classes. Of course, you don’t need to use these! The topic can really be about anything you like. However, many students prefer having a topic set before the class and it also lets them prepare some thoughts and language.

In future, the articles will be posted as blog posts on this website and maybe some emails.

For now, here are some articles and a video that I found interesting this week! Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these. I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

As a bonus task, note some interesting language that you hear in the video and bring it to the class.

If there is anything else you would like to talk about instead, please let me know! See you in class.
