Discussion Questions for Friday, April 21, 2023

Here are the questions for next week’s class (April 21, 2023). I chose one question for each student. If you wish and can convince each other, you may trade questions….

For your question you should be able to speak for two or three minutes and answer questions I and other students will have.

Some general hints: Don’t memorize an answer! Instead, think of general ideas you can talk about. Don’t use first person (I, me) too much unless you are talking about your personal experience (then it’s okay). Mostly speak in the third person.

Briko: How can the arts inspire people? Can you give some example from your life?

Gaja: What kinds of expectations do young people have about their future lifestyles?

Ĝoja: Are first impressions, about people, cities or countries always right?

Hana: What are the advantages and disadvantages of on-line shopping?

Kredo: What aspects of technological development do you find most exciting?

Nanmua: What change has been made to your home town or city recently?

Nuba: Should people judge others by the clothes that they wear?

Ruĝo: How have people’s attitudes to food changed in recent years?

Suno: Why do people waste so much food and how can that be avoided?

Vino: Are there more benefits or drawbacks to traveling alone instead of on a package tour?

See y’all in class!
