Conversation Questions: Technology and AI
Technology and AI is the contemporary speaking topic every learner has views on — but few have practised discussing in English. The questions in this worksheet move from personal tech use (What devices do you use daily? How long is your screen time?) into broader societal questions (Is AI going to replace human jobs? Should social media be regulated?). Learners build the analytical-speaking fluency that B1–B2 Cambridge Speaking parts test.
This worksheet builds B1–B2 speaking fluency through technology and AI discussion.
