In the spirit of experimenting and trying new ways of doing this show, episode 20 is the first show where we ask completely random questions to our guest, Jeffrey. Jeffrey lives and works in Christchurch, New Zealand and was kind enough to be the guinea pig (test case!) for this new format.

In this episode, we use a random question generator (http://www.conversationstarters.com/generator.php) to produce five questions which we have no control over. Some of the questions are fun and others are pretty standard if you’ve been studying ESL for awhile. Either way, getting comfortable with random topics as they arise is essential. After all, you never know what someone may ask you and being good at thinking “on your feet”, or spontaneously, is a great skill to have.

As you listen to this show, be thinking about how you would answer the questions yourself. Think about it for 30 seconds and then answer it out loud! How long can you keep going?

As always, I’d love for you to contribute your answers in written form on our website! Please head to www.eslunscripted.com/blog and choose episode 20 with Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is our first guest from New Zealand and his accent will be just as much a part of this show as the random questions. How much can you understand?

Thank you for listening! I look forward to your comments, answers, and general feedback on this style of show!
