For many of them it will be their first time in England, so you could ask them about where they’ve been, what they’ve seen, what they liked and didn’t like, and what they found interesting. It’s also not a problem to ask about life at home in China. I’m sure they’d be happy to tell you about what Chinese schools are like and how they spend their free time. Of course, it’s always a good idea to keep off topics like politics, as people have different opinions, and they may not agree with you. I hope this information has been useful, and I wish you the best of luck at the Chinese Embassy—be sure to write and tell me all about it! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
