A speech topic that would be appropriate for a group of retirees would be, to me, to explain that once retired from one's main employer life and one's aspirations and drive do not end there. For example, it is still possible to earn money but less strenuously and rigid than punching a clock by, for example doing freelance work on the internet. Also, now that there is more time, one can pursue his/her real interests of say, writing a book, becoming an artist or supporting progressive politics, for example.

Answer:
1.) I <u>am </u>NOT <u>talking </u>(TALK) TO ANA.
Explanation:
The forms of the verb to be in the Present tense is <em>am, is</em><em> </em>and <em>are</em>. In that matter, since the sentence is in the first person singular <em>I</em>, the correct form is <em>am</em>.
On the other hand, the Present Progressive is formed with the verb <em>to be </em>in the Present Simple (<em>am, is, are</em>) and the verb with the <em>-ing </em>form. It can be used to talk about actions happening now, around now or future arrangements.
