Handout p. 3 - With a partner decide if you think each of these things is okay to ask about with a new person. Then add two more questions (15 and 16) which are both okay to ask about.
1 yes (first name), sometimes no (last name)
2 no (don’t ask about it, but it’s okay to tell people)
3 yes
4 no (not for a new person you just met)
5 no (can be rude to ask, and can be rude to tell people too much)
6 no (too invasive - why do you need to know?)
7 yes (for the future plan), maybe no (for how long you have stayed already)
8 yes (for the future plan), maybe no (for how long you have been studying)
9 yes (if you know they’re studying English)
10 yes, usually (“What do you do with your time?” is a better question.)
11 no
12 yes
13 yes
14 yes
- College and degree
- Family members
- Favorite food (and other favorites)

part B - For each “yes”, write the question that you would ask someone.
1 What is your name?
3 Where are you from, exactly?
6 What part of the city do you live in? (not about the address)
