- Intermediate stories A mistake you learned from, a place that changed you, a habit you built, or a choice you regret. Longer turns
- Advanced opinions Technology, work culture, education, social pressure, money, travel, and online life. Reason + example
- Follow-up practice After every answer, ask yourself: why, when, who was there, what changed, and what would you do next? Conversation depth
