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 conversations based on the set plots within those scenarios. But can we actually hold a one-minute conversation with foreigners just like that? No, we can't! To have even a one-minute conversation, or even progress further to a three-minute "chat," with foreigners, it is necessary to practice 1–3-minute chats that match your own level. This requires providing perfect conversation content for such chats, equivalent to the everyday 1–3-minute "topics" that foreigners discuss. Around these "topics," it is easy to smoothly develop "chats." This book was created with this starting point in mind. It includes all the topics needed for "chat practice," reorganizing 72 of the most commonly used "dialogue themes" by foreigners. Topics like easily chatting for three minutes while slicing beef in a restaurant are all compiled here. Additionally, word archives essential for conversations are organized by theme, with a 4-step structure that allows you to gradually master the ability to speak freely in a short time. It is a completely new type of English conversation book.
