What a delight! This conversation book gets ESL students talking. Each chapter poses 25 or so questions and shares a dozen fun quotes. Lots of great conversations starters like "How do you win the game of life?" Superb resource for "multi-level" Intermediate and Advance classes. An abundance of material that can be used both in and out of the classroom.
Conversation Tip#1: See and Speak!
Conversation Tip #1: Look Around and Make a Simple Comment Sometimes just looking and a simple comment can lead to a satisfying conversation. Walking my dog around the neighborhood I noticed a very, very old truck parked on the street a few months ago. "She's as old as I am," replied the proud owner from his front yard. He soon came to the sidewalk. "Made in 1931." Although I'm hardly a car guy, we proceeded to have a rather detailed and informative conversation about Ford, Model AA, its history, and the owner's work. He also shared tips on local repair shops.

This product is a great idea for those folks who find it difficult to start conversations. Pick one card, and the topic most often leads to another topic, then another. Very handy and entertaining!

* "If you could have any object or place to yourself for one day, what would you choose?"
* "You've been given the chance to travel into the future to see how the world will change over the next 50 years. What in particular are you most interested in?
