Friendship and Relationship Talk for A2 Older Teens
Friendships are the centre of teenage life, which makes them perfect fuel for A2 speaking practice. These 50 questions ask sixteen-to-eighteen-year-olds to describe their best friend, talk about what they do with friends, discuss what makes someone a good classmate, and share how they stay in touch with people they care about, all using language accessible to beginners.
Vocabulary focuses on the social world teens navigate: words like 'best friend', 'classmate', 'trust', 'funny', 'kind', 'hang out', and 'message' combine with simple structures like 'my best friend is...', 'I like people who are...', 'we always...', and 'a good friend...' that give A2 speakers reliable ways to discuss relationships.
Why Friendship Engages A2 Teens
Friendship requires no specialist knowledge and no vocabulary beyond what A2 teens already encounter daily. Every student has friends, and describing those friendships is both emotionally motivating and linguistically achievable. When a teen says 'My best friend is funny and kind and we play football together,' they are producing complex A2 output driven by genuine feeling.
Running Friendship Conversations in Class
Pair students with classmates they know well for the first round to build confidence, then mix pairs for variety. YapYapGo's pairing options support both approaches, and the question history ensures every pair gets fresh prompts.
