Shopping is an excellent topic for ESL speaking practice because students can talk about their everyday experiences, shopping habits, preferences, prices, brands, online shopping, and customer service. These ESL Conversation Questions About Shopping are suitable for A2–B1 learners and can be used for pair work, group discussions, speaking classes, or self-study.
Put students into pairs. Student A asks the questions and Student B answers. After answering, Student A should ask a follow-up question to continue the conversation. Then students switch roles.
For a more challenging activity, ask students to discuss this situation:
You have $500 to spend. You can buy anything you want, but you must spend the money wisely. What will you buy and why?
Students should explain their choices and try to convince their partner that their shopping plan is the best one.
