As an experienced EFL/ESL teacher, I can honestly say that, when it comes to having a conversation, money is one of the more popular topics and one that gets students to speak. I’ve come up with a list of ten questions that I’ve used with my EFL/ESL students, and I’d like to share them with you as well. The best thing is that they’re free and they can be modified to adapt to your needs.
How important is money for you? Would you like to have more of it? Should there be a limit on how much money one person can accumulate? What would life be like without money? What would you use to pay for something if money didn’t exist? What’s the best way to make a lot of money fast? Have you ever been without money? Would you be willing to give all of your money away? How much money do you usually spend every day, week, month? What’s the best, worst thing you’ve ever spent your money on? Does money make you happy?
