Hello,

You don't need to download anything for this week's classes, but here are some questions you should think about. We will be discussing them late on Wednesday or probably Thursday. It's not a writing assignment. Just think about them. I will give you the questions in class.


Why do you feel bored? Is it a lack of anything to do? Or is it caused by your mood?
How often do you feel bored?
When are you most likely to feel bored?
Have you ever felt bored when you were with another person?
How do you relieve boredom? Do you think easy ways of relieving boredom can cause you to waste time?

What are some behaviours to avoid when you are bored? For example, eating junk food or constantly checking social media.

How can you help a friend who says they are bored?
What is the most boring thing you have to do in your life?
What bores you? Sports? News? Some teachers (no names, please^^)? School?
What would you do if you met someone who is really boring? On a blind date, for example.
Does weather ever make you feel bored? If it's snowing and you can't go out, for example.
How would you feel if the Internet suddenly stopped working?
Imagine that you have finally become a teacher in a secondary school. You think you are doing a good job but your students look bored. What can you do to make your classes a little more interesting or keep the students' attention?

Are you bored more now than when you were a child?
Your parents didn't have Internet when they were young. How do you think they relieved boredom?
Do you think boredom is necessary? Do we need to be bored sometimes?
Do you think feeling bored is a symptom of a deeper problem?
Think of something that was very exciting at first, but later became boring. Why did it lose its appeal?

You might think that this topic is boring! What would you rather be doing right now?
What do you think your teacher does when he's bored? Do you think he would rather be doing something else right now? :)
