Speaking: Discussion Would You Rather B1
Would you rather B1 is the structured-discussion format that gives B1 learners decision-and-justification practice in a low-pressure, high-engagement frame. Each item presents two choices (Would you rather have superpowers or be able to time travel?) and asks the speaker to choose, justify, and consider trade-offs. Learners build the decision-justification fluency that distinguishes B1 fluent speakers.
This worksheet builds B1 speaking fluency through Would You Rather discussion.

Common challenges: Justifying at B1 — strong speakers give a reason and a counter-consideration; weak speakers just state the choice. I’d rather X because Y, but then again Z. Maintaining engagement on light topics: humour and creative justification work better than serious analysis.
