Features: So far, most English conversation textbooks have been centered around situational dialogues. That is to say, they present pre-set scenarios and then have the conversations follow the set plot within those scenarios. But can we really hold a one-minute conversation with foreigners just by using these materials? Absolutely not! To have even a one-minute conversation, or even progress further to a three-minute "chat," with foreigners requires practicing 1–3 minute conversations that match your own level. This necessitates providing perfect conversational content for such chats, equivalent to the everyday 1–3 minute "topics" that foreigners discuss. Around these "topics," it becomes easy to smoothly engage in "chats." This book takes this as its starting point. It includes all the topics needed for "chat practice," reorganizing 72 of the most commonly used "dialogue themes" by foreigners. Topics like those you can comfortably chat about for three minutes while eating popcorn in a movie theater are all compiled here. Additionally, it organizes essential vocabulary archives for each theme, structured in a 4-step format, allowing you to progressively master the ability to engage in free conversations in a short time. It is a completely new type of English conversation book.
