This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is talking about your country’s history.
Every country has a history. Some are longer than others, but all are deeply interesting and tell a fascinating story about a place and its peoples.
We are finding out how much we know, and what we think about our own country’s history, the history of other countries, and the importance of history.
Here are 10 conversation questions to get you talking about your country’s history.
Conversation Questions: Do You Know Your Country’s History?
1. What is the most famous event in your country’s history?
2. How old is your country? What do you know about its early history?
3. What is your favourite fact about your country’s history?
4. Who is the most famous person in your country’s history?
5. Do you think history is taught well in your country?
6. Do you think it is important for people to study the history of their country?
7. What is the biggest misconception about your country’s history?
8. What parts of your country’s history can still be seen today?
9. Is the history of your country known around the world? Should it be?
