Objectives

The learner can ask and give information.

Material

 

  • Blackboard or something alike
  • For each learner a copy with the questions.

Preparation

  • Make a list with frequently asked questions, e.g.:
    What are you good at?
    What is your passion?
    What can I wake you up for?
    What will you be doing in five years?
    What did you want to be when you were a kid?
    Have I seen you before?
    Do you believe in God?

Instructions

  • Write the questions on the blackboard or give each learner a copy with the questions.
  • Ask the learners if these questions are also frequently asked in their native country.
  • Ask if they find any of the questions awkward, too personal, original, silly…
  • Ask them to add a FAQ.

Variant

To go deeper into the subject, you can ask the following questions:
Do you ask personal questions?
What is your answer to personal questions?
