摘要:Last year Jean Pearce of The Japan Times published a list in her column of things that foreigners like about living in Japan. This list was a collection of everyday conveniences and cultural attributes that help make Japan a pleasant place to live for people. All of us at times notice aspects of Japanese society that are either nice or not so nice when compared to "back home." Lists or collections of items such as these can be used in the language classroom to stimulate thinking on different levels.
