Using article as material

Yesterday a student came to take English lesson in the evening.

After that English Cafe was held at our cafe.

This time four people came, so five member including me enjoyed conversation in English.

Every time I prepare some qusetions, but yesterday we used a news article to have have conversation.

I prepared an article and asked everyone their opinion.

I felt this method is a bit difficult.

Not only article, I should prepare some questions with it.

That is better way, I think.
