150 Conversation Topics
Most topics have two sides to argue on. You can pick either of the side –
favor or against – or sometimes just take an entirely different direction. For
example, if the discussion topic is ‘should laptops be allowed in
classrooms?’ you can argue either in favor of the topic (allow laptops in
classrooms) or against it (don’t allow laptops in classrooms).
Few minutes before you start speaking, make a mental note of your
regular 1-2 mistakes you won’t repeat. Even if you’ve to go slow or take
other measures to curb these mistakes, do it. That’s how you improve.
3. Prepare a structure

5. Listen
When the other person is speaking, don’t think of what you would say
next. Listen. Listen. And listen. If you listen, you would be able to counter
his point if you don’t agree with it or build on what he said if you’ve more
to say on it. A good response takes cues from what the other person said
and reacts to it, and doesn’t get fixated on what you’ve already prepared.

Most people just hang up after finishing speaking, which isn’t the best
way. Instead, you should spend few minutes analyzing what went right and
what went wrong. Few areas of improvement would be obvious to you, but
few can be discovered through feedback from the other person.
Identifying your mistakes is gold. Work on them. That’s the fastest way to
improve. If you don’t critique your performance and take corrective steps,
your communication skills would barely improve even after years of
practice.
2. Whatever the topic, make sure to answer why you’re taking the stand
even if it is not explicitly asked. Otherwise, your reply would end in
seconds. For example, if you don’t answer ‘why’ for the topic ‘what is the
best letter in English alphabet?’, you would finish in a blink.
3. Try to speak for at least five minutes, the longer the better.
Without further ado, here are more than 150 topics on which you can hold
conversation or make speech. They’ve been arranged in three categories
– beginner, intermediate, and advanced – depending on the difficulty level
of the topic. Feel free to download the topics as a PDF (link at the end of
the page).
