Conversation Starters
Education is one of my favorite topics because I'm a teacher! I hope
you can have many interesting and useful English conversations starting
with the questions below. If you don't have a partner, think about how
you would answer these questions using complete sentences.
1. At what age do children start to go to school in your country? 2. Is education mandatory (children MUST go to school) in your country? If so, until what age?
3. Are most schools coeducational (boys and girls study together) in your country?
4. What did you like to study most in your school days? Why?
5. Did you have to do a lot of homework when you were a student?
6. What makes a "good student"?
7. What makes a "good teacher"?
8. Do you think your education was helpful to you? Why or why not?
