Compelling Conversations - Japan: Questions and Quotations for High-Intermediate Japanese English Language Learners deploys a range of speaking activities, vocabulary expansion lessons, classic quotations, and search-and-share internet activities. The fluency-focused English as a Foreign Language (EFL) conversation textbook includes 12 thematic chapters that explore daily life in Japan and develops English skills. Designed to help Japanese English language learners describe their lives, share their experiences, and develop their critical thinking skills, the innovative conversation book includes activities for asking questions, paraphrasing proverbs, expressing opinions, comparing ideas, summarize articles/videos, discussing Japanese objects, and give reviews. Each chapter concludes with a communicative exercise where students find articles/videos online, summarize the material, and evaluate the information. Chapter sections Sharing Experiences, Vocabulary Expansion, Culture Corner, Ask More Questions, Photographs to Start Conversations, Paraphrasing Proverbs, Pronunciation Practice, The Conversation Continues, Discussing Quotations, Tell Me About Japan ... in English, and Search and Share webquests. These speaking activities provide many opportunities for college students and adult professionals to develop, deepen, and practice their speaking skills in English.

Written by a team of experienced English teachers, this book expands upon the popular communicative techniques used in prior Compelling Conversations books and focuses on the specific needs of Japanese English language learners. This title is the fourth book in the critically-acclaimed Compelling Conversations series and the third book created for English language learners inside a country (United States, Vietnam). The three authors - Eric H. Roth, Shiggy Ichinomiya, and Brent Warner - have taught English to college students and working professionals for a total of over 40 years, including 17 years inside Japan. Roth has co-authored three other Compelling Conversations books. Recommendations for Compelling Conversation- Japan -------- A much needed book for Japanese English Language Learners. As an ESL teacher and accent reduction coach, I regularly encounter frustrated students from Japan who don't feel comfortable speaking English. Their English learning experiences consisted mostly of the traditional method of learning grammar rules and preparing for English exams. Compelling Conversations - Japan will prove very useful to Japanese English learners who want to travel or study in the US or simply feel more comfortable conversing in English. With this book, the learner won't stop talking. And that's the goal It's more than just a conversation book. It's also a cross-cultural awareness book, filled with proverbs and cultural insights. It also has great vocabulary expansion exercises. There are valuable English pronunciation exercises focusing on the sounds that are difficult for native Japanese speakers. It contains tons of fun and thought-provoking conversation topics relevant a person from a Japanese cultural background. A must-have for a conversation class with Japanese learners of English.

Size: Queen Comforter, Color: Grey Comforter, Size: Queen Comforter, Color: Grey Comforter
The only issue i have is when i got the comforter out of the packaging and unfolded it, unfortunately there was a hole in it. Besides that, the comforter is great. Way better than the one i had on before. Will prolly purchase another one soon.

Most Comfortable blanket!
Color: White, Size: Queen(90"*90")
Silky smooth and soft. The smooth side is cooler and good for summer nights while the patterned side provides a little more warmth for cold nights. Have not needed anything else. Works great for me - hot sleeper in Florida with AC at 73 and ceiling fan on. Might have to kick a leg out in the middle of the night or find part of the blanket that is not heated from my body and then I can stay cool. If the AC is turned down just one degree to 72, I stay cool throughout the whole night and sometimes cold. Blanket would probably be too warm at any household temperatures above 74 unless it was FL winter or a colder climate. Nevertheless, it is so comfortable on the skin and easy to move around in.

The softest summer blanket ever!
I bought this wonderful & underestimated king size blanket on Amazon from SnuggleSac. I got it because of the reviews & the company was rated very well. It came faster than I thought. I got the arctic blue color & it is beautiful. I have a queen size bed but love oversized blankets. I’m so happy I did. I have really bad neuropathy in my hands & especially my feet from an allergic life threatening reaction to the flu shot. If I forget my meds, have a busy day my feet & or with my hands-which I have been, they are on fire with shards of glass feeling. I get sweaty (dang hot flashes) easily too so I have to be really careful on how soft a blanket is. It is summer in Ga & the only blanket so far that did not cause so much excruciating pain was my heavy winter cuddle duds that I got from kohls that they don’t carry anymore, it is way too way to hot for summer also & just sheets no matter how soft they are like rubbing sandpaper on my feet. This blanket is THE softest I have ever felt, that was lightweight but heavier than a sheet or two sewn together, is very cool to the touch, didn’t cause me pain from having it on-even on bad days, there was no smell, the quality is so far top notch-only used it for 3 days now & what I was worried was the reverse side being harder or too rough to reverse it but was so happy both sides are equally soft. Both my daughter (who wanted to take it) & my husband want both one now. My dog has his own pillows that he always slept on my bed & now he sleeps on the blanket. Even he loves it! I just pray it holds up for a long time to come & I will update if there is any change! Definitely recommend this blanket! Love it! Thank you so much SnuggleSac
