What’s your favorite room in the house?
I had so much fun watching your videos last week! Let's do it again. Today, tell me about your favorite room in the house.
It can be the house or apartment you currently live in, or a place you've had in the past. What room is it? What is it like? What do you like most about it?
A few tips:
- Your response is limited to 2 minutes. You can use as much or as little of the time as you like
- You can type notes into the video to help remind you of words or topics you'd like to include
- You can respond with audio only if you like

What is something you would never ever wear?
Let's talk about fashion! We all have our favorites. We have our go-to's and our own style. But admit it: sometimes you see a piece of clothing that someone else is wearing and you think, "I could never / I would never wear that." What is something you would never ever wear?

What’s one hard thing you’ve done at work?
Recently, you learned that two American astronauts are now more than three months into what was going to be an eight-day mission to space. That's right: they went up there thinking they'd be back in just over a week, but now they're stuck for an eight-month stay.
None of us here has been to space (I don't think). But we all do hard things at work. So let's honor Suni and Butch with this week's question. Tell us about one hard thing you've had to do at work. What was it? How did you do it?
It could be about your current job or a job long ago.

What’s one thing that makes you laugh out loud?
We all have something! Maybe you have a person who always makes you laugh (a child in your life?). Or there's a TV show that you've seen over and over, but it still never fails to produce a smile. What's that thing for you? What's one thing that always makes you laugh out loud?

What part of English was hard at first, but easy now?
Many times when we are in the process of learning something new we may have unrealistic expectations. We might think something will be hard, but it turns out that it's easy to master. (Other things that may seem easy turn out to be hard.) Has that happened to you in English? What part of English was hard at first, but easy for you now?
