Step 3: Have a Conversation with ChatGPT About a News Topic

Now that you’ve learned some key vocabulary and practiced giving your opinion, it’s time to bring it all together in a real conversation. This is where ChatGPT really shines—it can simulate a natural discussion, ask follow-up questions, and even challenge your views respectfully.

Don’t worry if you make mistakes! The goal here is to keep the conversation flowing and build confidence expressing complex ideas in English.

You can use this prompt to start a full conversation about the news:

This kind of back-and-forth helps you:

• Think more clearly in English

• Respond naturally to unexpected questions

• Learn how to defend your opinion politely and clearly

• Notice grammar and vocabulary gaps you can work on

It’s like having your own private speaking partner, anytime you want.

By turning news articles into personal conversations, you’re not just studying English—you’re using it to connect with the world. Keep going, and soon you’ll feel ready to talk about current events with anyone, anywhere.

Step 4: Reflect and Improve After Each Conversation

Every conversation is a valuable learning opportunity—especially when you take time to reflect. After finishing a discussion with ChatGPT about a news topic, review the conversation carefully. What new words did you learn? Which parts were difficult? What did you do well?

You can ask ChatGPT to help analyze your performance:

This kind of feedback is powerful because:

• You’ll see common patterns in your mistakes

• You can learn better phrases or sentence structures

• You’ll notice progress over time

• You’ll feel more confident for your next conversation

You can even keep a “reflection journal” where you copy useful corrections and expressions. Little by little, you’ll build up your fluency and precision.

And the best part? ChatGPT never gets tired. It’s always ready to review, explain, and encourage you on your English-learning journey.

Step 5: Build a Habit of Talking About Current Events

To truly improve your fluency and confidence, consistency is key. Make it a habit to talk about news and current events with ChatGPT every day or several times a week. Even 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference over time.

Choose a reliable news source (BBC, CNN, NHK World, etc.), read one article, and then come back to ChatGPT. Use this prompt to start your daily habit:

ChatGPT will ask you questions, guide the conversation, and help you express your thoughts clearly. You’ll naturally improve your:

• Vocabulary related to real-world topics

• Ability to explain your opinions and feelings

• Listening comprehension (if you read aloud or use audio articles)

• Confidence in speaking with others about the world

This isn’t just English practice—it’s a way to become a more thoughtful, informed, and articulate global citizen. And ChatGPT is your ideal partner along the way.
