Warm-up
As a warm-up, we pick a topic with no single right answer each time. As we exchange opinions one after another, we’re often surprised by answers that come from directions we never would have thought of ourselves. Being able to hear other people’s opinions is also one of the best parts of LUCEE.

Theme discussion
When you’re ready to start speaking in English, open "CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS" and read the introductory article.
