Let's talk about writing before we dive in. I'm curious about how you feel when you sit down to write something in English.

“How do you feel when someone asks you to write an essay in English?”
“In your opinion, what makes a piece of writing really persuasive?”
“If you had to write about any topic in the world tomorrow, what would you choose?”
“Would you rather write a long essay or give a short spoken presentation? Why?”
“Tell me about a time you wrote something you were proud of.”
Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
