Listen to what she says and we'll talk about the description process later. Here are some expressions we will use in the video. Listen and see if you can hear them. There's, you can, with it, adjectives, be good for, any, which way. Ready for the video? Take it away, Leslie and Katelyn. Leslie, what do you got there? Whoa, so much bubbles. So much bubbles. Okay, I'm excited to try this out. It's a memory foam bendable travel pillow, which, okay, so it's pretty soft. It has a little hook here. Well, that doesn't look like a pillow. It looks like a snail. Okay, so there's a little hook right here where you can roll up your pillow so it can be in a small size, which is good for traveling. Instead of, you know, normal pillow, that doesn't have that. Okay, so here's the travel pillow. Let's see. It's pretty soft and squishy, which is really nice for traveling. And you can see that it can bend like this. If you'd rather have it more thick or thin or even long like this, you can do it whichever way you want. And yeah, it's pretty comfy. Does it hook in the front so you could like connect it in the front? It can, if you want to, hook it. That way it doesn't go anywhere or you can tighten it so that it's stable around your neck or you can have it loose. Any which way you want when you travel. Can you like lean against like a vertical wall with it? Yeah, you can do anything with this pillow because of its form, you know, like it can go any way you want. And you could even use it for like lumbar or something if you wanted to really. Yeah, you can cut it around your waist if you'd rather have that. If you have back problems or really anywhere.
