Practice English Speaking with Conversation Questions about Countries
Here are some engaging questions with sample answers that delve into various aspects of countries, preferences, and experiences.
- What country would you like to live in? why?
If I could live anywhere in the world, I’d choose a country with beautiful natural landscapes, and a welcoming culture. Maybe somewhere in Europe, like Switzerland or Austria, with their stunning mountains and peaceful atmosphere. I also love the idea of living in a place with diverse cultures and traditions, like Canada or the Netherlands.
- What country would you like to work in? Why?
I’d probably want to work in a country with a thriving tech industry. Silicon Valley in California, and the UK come to my mind. I’d love to work on innovative projects and be surrounded by creative minds.
- What country would you like to visit? Why?
I’d love to visit China! Their culture is so unique and fascinating, from their ancient traditions to their modern technology. I’d love to see the cherry blossoms in bloom, visit the beautiful temples, and try all the delicious food.
- Would you prefer to live where there is always snow or where there is desert and hot weather? Why?
I think I’d prefer a place with a mix of both! I love the beauty of snow-covered mountains, but I also enjoy the warmth and sunshine of desert landscapes. A place like Chile, with its Andes Mountains and Atacama Desert, would be perfect.
- What countries would you not like to visit? Why?
I’m not sure I’d ever visit a country with a history of violence or conflict, especially if it’s based on discrimination or prejudice. I believe in peace and understanding, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable traveling to a place where those values are not upheld.
- What country has the most interesting customs? Explain.
That’s a tough one! There are so many fascinating customs around the world. But I’m always drawn to traditions that connect people to their history and culture. Maybe something like the Holi Festival in India, where people celebrate the arrival of spring with vibrant colors and joyous gatherings.
- What country in Asia would be a great place to live? Why?
I’ve heard great things about Singapore! It’s a vibrant, multicultural city with a thriving economy and beautiful architecture. I also love the idea of living in a country with delicious food, like Thailand or Vietnam.
- Is your country the best place for you to live? Why or why not?
Iran is definitely my home, and I love it! It’s filled with beautiful landscapes, ancient history, and warm hospitality. But, like any place, it has its challenges. I think it’s important to be open to different experiences and cultures, and maybe someday I’ll explore living in another country. But for now, Iran holds a special place in my heart.
- What is special about your country? Explain.
Iran has a rich history and culture, dating back thousands of years. From the ancient Persian Empire to its modern art scene, it’s a country filled with fascinating stories. The people are incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the cuisine is delicious and diverse. I also love the natural beauty of Iran, from the majestic mountains to the turquoise waters of the Caspian Sea.
- What festivals and feasts does your country have? Explain.
We have so many beautiful festivals and feasts in Iran! Some of my favorites include:
Nowruz: The Persian New Year, celebrated on the first day of spring. It’s a time for family gatherings, traditional foods, and fresh beginnings.
Yalda Night: A celebration of the longest night of the year, with families gathering to eat pomegranates, watermelons, and recite poetry.
