I am an English teacher in China, and I will have an English class for the first time next week.
"Can someone please tell me what you want to be in the future?"
"Can someone please tell me what he/she wants to be in the future?"
If I want to ask my students this question, which one is better, or how would you normally ask this question?
Another question is, does it make sense to say: A movie star plays a lot movies.
I want to introduce my students what a movie star is.
English question: How do you ask this question?

Your first question is the better one. Another way to say it is to point to a student and ask them "What do you want to be in the future?"And as for the movie star question, you could say "A movie star acts in a lot of movies." or "A movie star plays lots of roles in different movies."
Good luck with your new class!

You could best say:
"Can you (collective) please tell me what you want to be in the future?"
If you say someone/you, it doesn't make so much sense. The other phrasing is too impersonal.

It would be better to say "Can someone please tell me what they would like to be in the future?" or "Does anyone want to share with us what they would like to be in the future/when they grow up?"
It would be, if I'm understanding correctly, "A movie star is a person who plays in a lot/lots of movies."
And it would be "I want to introduce my students TO what a movie star is." just so you know in the future.
GOOD LUCK!!

I think the second version of your first question is better - the use of the third person singular pronoun matching the word 'someone'. As for the second question, I'd suggest: 'A movie star is an actor who plays a big part in successful films'.
