Back to School Questions - Easy English Speaking Practice

Simple questions about school, subjects, teachers, homework and the school day. Each one comes with an example answer - then pause the video and answer about your own school.

Ask a beginner What is your favourite subject? and they usually know every word of the question and still say nothing - what is missing is a model of what an answer sounds like. Here every question about school, subjects, teachers, homework and the school day is followed by an example answer, and then there is time to pause and answer about your own school.

The questions are pitched at A1 and at children starting a new school year. In class it needs no preparation at all: press play and let students answer in pairs. A second viewing, trying to answer before the example comes, turns the same questions into fluency practice.
