These posts are only possible topics of conversation. I have also listed vocabulary for daily conversation at: http://sites.google.com/site/japaneseenglishclasses/english-vocabulary/Vocabulary-Sheets. Great practice for students who will be studying English abroad, going to graduate school in America or the U.K., taking TOEFL or IELTS, or for anyone preparing for a job interview.
