Interesting questions for my students to talk about

[carolhelga]

I found a bunch of questions which I can mix and match to give my ELL students speaking practice. To my great relief, they actually had fun with this activity. Naturally, some got more into the topics than others, but overall I can say this was a plus. Here are today's questions.

1. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
2. When did you last laugh? Do you remember why/at what?
3. What is the last film you saw?
4. What type of music do you like most?
5. What's the farthest-away place you've been?
6. Is there anything going on this weekend?
7. What do you most when you are bored?
8. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
9. Can you close your eyes and raise your eyebrows?
10. Do you have pets? If so, what kind and how many?

And in the interest of playing this myself...my answers!

1. CSI Las Vegas
2. About 30 minutes ago, and it was at something my neighbor teacher said.
3. Despicable Me
4. "Adult Contemporary"--but I actually like all sorts of music.
5. Yemen
6. Long weekend. I'll probably use at least some of the time to do housework.
7. I personally don't get bored very often. I can always resort to writing stuff for my novels/short stories/poems.
8. No--not even close. I'm not sure if that's because my tongue is short or my nose is.
9. Yes.
10. Yes, 2 cats.
