These English conversation questions are a resource for both teachers and students. They can be used in class, or with a study buddy, or with somebody you do a language exchange with.
My TIPS for learners to get the most out these questions.

✨ In those in-between times when you can't find somebody to practise with I recommending trying to write down your answers, or even talking out loud to yourself!

✨ Ensure you make notes of useful words and phrases that you either couldn't remember or didn't know when you were trying to explain something. This will really help you to move forward with your English.

✨ I also highly recommend going through the questions a second or third time at a later date with somebody else, as a way of revision, and you are sure to notice that you are able to explain things faster and more effectively.
