This week there are some more complicated topics for you to think about:

In the age of AI, how do you know what is real or fake? Could your success in life be decided by your name? Why is water disappearing from lakes around the world?

All of these things might impact your future, so it could be helpful to learn the language about them today!

Here are the articles for this week’s conversation classes. Of course, you can still use these even if you are not taking conversation classes. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these.

Try to note some new or interesting language that you see or hear in the articles or video and bring it to the class.
