And we have the lovely Alice. hi, Alice.I'm good, you're good, Alice, Where we, Where were you, Alice, you look like you're in like a like a fancy office. Are you in your kitchen.Yeah, this is your kitchen. Wow, you guys all have bigger houses than me. My house is tiny. It is very beautiful, Alice. And what have you done today, Alice.😊And I've been go to the school and I have swimming classes can you swim really fast?Not sure, not sure. Well welcome. Well welcome all of you. I'm so excited to have you in class with me today. Hand up. if you've ever debated before, it's okay, if you haven't, but I just want to know is anybody ever debated before. Alice has been debated before. Okay, Alice, I'll be asking you. and Victor, you've also debated before. Okay, so we have some people who have debated, don't worry, if you haven't, you are gonna learn today and you will.Debate today. Okay, and hopefully, you'll be having lots of fun in this course. So, Alice, I never bring you down. Alice, what is a debate, You tell me what a debate is.😊A baby is like about different people have like different opinions about like one thing, and they debate.Well done. Yeah, we try to express the opinions and like read the about who like like to the like like, there's a teacher. and there's like two student and like a two student or something like on the papers Like, what do you think like.Like example for example, like the question is do like just like do do you like homework?😊Okay, like some likes, like one of the two like, yes, and they write why and other people say.No disagree. No, and and they like have the answer. And the teacher will will say like, who is the answer better. So they agree. Well done, Alice, That was exactly how to describe it. Yes, and Victor, What do you think is the most important part about debating...I think the most important part is someone don't agree with with other people that do not agree with his opinion and..And then all have different opinion. Everyone was done. Yeah, we must have our different opinions. Okay, so Valerie, Alex, Bruce and Jamie, because you've not debated before. It's exactly how Alex Victor is saying. Okay, we have a motion.A question. we might agree and say, yeah, I agree with that, or we might say, no, I do not agree with this. This is rubbish. and you will think of reasons.😊You're going be building to three reasons. You're going to find three reasons why you agree or disagree with this. Okay, and then you will debate against each other in teams and separately. Okay, and what will happen is we will decide who argued best.Yeah.Big thing. No personal attacks. We do not say anything about the team member, just the subject. Okay, just because you didn't win the debate does not mean your argument was bad. It just means that the argument put by the winning team was a better argument for the motion. So I don't want anyone to feel bad. If they're like, oh, I didn't win today. That's okay. It doesn't mean it was a bad argument.It just means the other argument was a better one for that debate, okay?You sometimes debate on something you agree with. You might debate on a team you don't agree with. That's debating. Okay, so I think Alice and Victor said it much better. Let's have a look at a video that'll introduce us all into debating. Here we go.😡🎼The kids at my cousins school don't have to wear uniforms next term, I think that's cool!I think that's him. Uniforms give pupils a sense of pride in their school and their appearance. Uniforms are silly. You wouldn't catch me wearing a uniform, But you are wearing a uniform. Your football slip as a uniform. Imagine what would happen if football players work whatever they wanted.😊🎼It would be total confusion. Even the players wouldn't know who to kick the ball to chaos and the fans wouldt know who to support.Oh, I see what you mean.🎼You've scored your non goal. one point for me, but uniforms can be very expensive, and not everyone's parents can afford to buy a new one each term.😮And kids go out of their uniforms, too. And if you rip it, you'll be in trouble. I see what you mean. I've never thought of that.y, Jamie, Alex.There's no sound in my video Oh, there's no sound Can you not hear either, Alex, you can't hear either Oh, that's interesting, Victor, can you hear?😮I can hear you can hear it Well that's not good for Alex and Jamie though, Bruce can you hear it you can hear it, Alex and Valerie, can you hear it.Oh, okay, a little. You couldt. Yes, Qui quiet, isn't. It's quite quiet on mind, But I have put it up as far as it can. Okay, what I would do then, Jamie is try going out and coming back in. We'll wait for you. If you pop out with the classroom, Jamie, and then pop yourself back in. If not, We don't need to worry too much..🎼Okay, right, okay, let's try it. Alex is just popping himself back in as well. Okay, let's try it now, See. That's a point to me.😊Okay, okay, hold on. Even if you didn't have to wear the uniform. You'd still have to do it smartly. That's right. You can't go to school looking quiet. Why not? It isn't a crime. I't it quiet. Okay, You're having a you of going to school. looking happens Oh go you plead guilty your doesnt insane.Yupy, that's another point to be.🎼Do one. How come pupils have to wear uniforms, but teachers don't. That's right. It's not fair. It should be the same rules for everybody. I don't agree. Imagine how silly. The teachers would look, if they were uniforms because of the subjects they teach. Look, I'm a history teacher. I'm Napoleon. I'm a sciences teacher. I'm an master or not.😮I'm a geography teacher. I'm an explorer. This is silly. Teaers don't have to wear uniforms.🎼That's another point to me. Now it's2,tu. I think22 is a fair result because there are two sides to every argument, uniforms or no uniforms. The important thing is to look smart, not scruffy or silly. A. Hang on. I've changed my mind. If I can keep this uniform are wear to school every day..Okay, teachers wearing uniforms would not be fun What do you think, Bruce, do you think a teacher should wear a uniform to school?No, no, and why Iries, why do you think they shouldn't wear when school because if teachers wear uniform.😊It's the teacher's time and the students were already here, and the teacher need to wear uniform.I need a while.Yeah, yeah, well I'm with you, Bruce. I becauses a great answer. Jamie, what do you think, you, do you agree with Bruce I no, I think teacher should use a wear uniform in my school, teacher use.😊Totally wear uniform they in your school they actually wear a uniform, what an argument to bring up I wasn't expecting that Jamie why do you think they should wear a uniform, Why do you disagree with Bruce?😡It isn't fair for student.Oh, that's a good point. Why should you wear it, But teachers don't. That's a really good point. I like that point. Okay, Alex, I think teacher is, I don't think teacher can wear uniforms because because if they're teaching about space, they just.They just where you the one find space, I didn just float the around.Yeah'll okay Alex disagrees we've got two disagreeing with you now Jamie, what you're going to say to Alex, you're going to say something about teachers I want to sink.😊Okay, you can have a little thing I'm going to bring someone else down here, Alice had her hand up Alice, I want you to weigh in, do you agree with Bruce and Alex or do you agree with Jamie in this idea of unfair?😡I don't think the teacher don't wear uniform. Like we were like in our school and the kids wear tie T shirt and pants or like skirt. And the teachers also wear like T shirt and a tired. Like it it's not like really similar. But like, it's just a little bit different.。Okay, but you're saying, but yes, you're saying they do need to wear some kind of uniform in it, Okay, Victor, what do you think with Jamie and Alice, maybe teachers should wear them or are wearing uniforms are you with Bruce and Alex, they look silly.😡I think teachers shouldn't wear uniform because if teachers wear them it up its really silly. and teachers they.They can to they need to wear their own.Oh, their own clothes. Okay, well, Victor, you've gone into a tunnel.Your point was really good, but you've got into a tunnel. We've got have lost you a little bit. But okay, really silly. I like that idea. Valerie, who's help me here. are you on sort of Victors, Bruces, Alex or or are you gonna fight with Jamie and Alice, What do you think, uniform or no uniform for a teacher sorry, Jamie, one second, Let's hear Valerie, and then I'll come back to you, Jamie, I promise. Okay, go on, Valerie..😊I think they shouldn't wear uniforms because they will look like students or they some teachers might think like.Because the teachers might be a bit too short and they might think that they are students and accidentally blame them Do I get confused.😀We might confuse them for students maybe Yes, Jamie, what were you going to say establishes a sense of professional.😊An teacher from student. Very nice Within the school. This can help teacher.Well done, I love that idea of professionalism and distinction, Alex, Alex is going to rebuttttle you, Alex, what have you got to say?😡What I see, I think if teacher where just go like clowns and I't think can see anymore. I don't see anymore because they they might look like clowns.😊They I like cls. they like look like whatever look like.Maybe they will look liket be able to laughing They' be laughing too much,'t they Well done, Okay, amazing, amazing, I think we can say that not wearing uniforms has won that mini debate because we've got four against two over here. and well done, nice opinions nice vocabulary Jamie, Alice, some really nice ideas here about what's already your examples. Okay, I'll come back.You now Jamieime Valerie, good ideas agreeing, giving that reasons, same for you, Victor and Bruce and Alex, this idea of how something kind up silly Yes, Jamie.😊Uniform for a sense of equality among staff.Oh, yes, it does. Well, we're gonna, we're gonna bottle this because each of you now, when I ask you, have you been in a debate, where are you I think there's too, we're gonna be debating this later on in our cause, Jamie, I promise to keep some of those ideas for yourself. And now, when I say, have any of you debated, you can all put your hands up because you've all just debated, You've all debated.😀Every single one of you has debated, so debate structure, okay.Topic will be given a topic. We've got a topic today that you're going to be working on Two teams, We've got six in a class. We've got even teams today, so we will be doing three and three.😊You will have time to prepare your debate, we will also have a class discussion as well to help you.And then you will do a presentation. We will start with one and a half two minutes by the end of this course, I want you to be speaking for three minutes, Okay, but we will build that that's not for you to achieve today. That will be a lot Okay, so over time you'll be doing it you will work together sometimes you will work singularly on your own individually sometimes and you will be on teams that you agree with and maybe.😡'll be on a team that you don't quite agree, but you're going to have to debate anyway, so you're going to learn lots of different skills.So as we were saying earlier from Victor and Alice, we have a yes team and agree team to the topic and we have a no team.😊Okay, so we call it the affirmative team. They go first. That team always goes first in a debate. It will go affirmative, negative, affirmative, negative, affirmative, negative questions.Okay, which you'll see how it works later.Repair, discuss with your teammates. You'll be putting to teams. You will have a chance to chat to ask them what they think. Make sure you're not saying the same thing as your teammate. Make your arguments strong. Yeah, So you'll have a chance to talk to each other.Then you will speak each of you takes a turn to speak okay, so benefits are debating critical thinking, public speaking, confidence, listening.😡Yeah all of the good things, yes, Jamie.Where is my teammate I'm going to tell you that, Jamie, in a little bit, I'm going to do a little bit of a lottery. I'm going to put you into teams. Okay, are you okay, Victor.😀You just swap in, you're in the list, Victorctor's in the list now.😊robot as it came, my darling, as soon as you get in, we'll see it right today topic, we're gonna get straight into it. We're gonna be thinking about, is homework a waste of time. It's not Who said, no, it's not. Hands up, Hands up. Oh, okay, Alex, Why is it not start us off on our discussion today. Why do you think homework isn't a waste of time.help you learn things it's not a waste of time can help you learn things.What kind of things, Alex, what kind of things can we learn?can we learn mathYeah, we can learn math math.And so, I like that Well done Alex Yes, not we learning stuff well done, Alex, Okay, anyone else, homework is a waste of time Oh, Alice straight out what do you think, Alice.😊I think it's not the waste of time because like, if you do homework and do homework, you like like the same as Alex will help you learn. And when you like go up, you come learn more things.And like, you'll be more smarter.So you will be more intelligent. Maybe if we do some homework. Okay, I like Alice, it's a good argument. Okay, I saw Bruce and Valerie. So Bruce, what do you think, Do you think homework is a waste of time, I think homework is not waste of time, Because if you do homework, you can repeat what you learn today and no more.it if you're confident in what you've learned maybe, Yeah, okay, brilliant and love that, Bruce, what about you, Valerie, I think?😊Not a waste of time, because if.When you do homework, you can practice back what you learned at school or some in in a class or you could try new things., so then someone in the because also, it could be distracting content in class. So maybe homework's gonna give you a peaceful place to practice what you do. Okay, love that family Jamie and Victor. I I don't know. You're not sure you don't know which side you're on. You know the things that the homework is learn. You can. You cannot do it anymore. but if you don't know.😊The things that teacher in a class said, you have to know.Okay, so if you don't understand what the teacher is asking, then homework, Well, homework is a waste of time, then isn't it, If you're not sure what the homework is or how to do it, then you're just going stare at it and do nothing with that homework. I like this counter argument, Jamie, Okay, Victor, what were you gonna say, I'll come back to you, Alice.I think.I think doing homework is a waste of time because you doing too much homework at home,, you won't have enough time to exercise and you will be youll be overweight and you, and you don't have time to do other things like play with my friends and do other sports.Yeah.。Oh, a nice counter argument, Victor. Yes, we've got to think about this. What if I don't understand the homework. What if the homework is taking me away from exercising or playing games or having time with family or eating food, because I'm doing homework. Yeah, we've got to think about this other side. Well done, Victor, I Alice, you had your hand up. What were you going to add.😊Like, I sing like is not.It's not what short time. If you like, don't understand what the homework is like for you in class like should be listening. if you don't listen it like you don't know the homework., it's your fault you don't listen, you won't know so maybe it's just showing us who's paying attention in class and who's not paying attention Okay, like this, Alice, yes, Jamie.😡Yeah, I think we had to make a decision. Okay, what decision to wait for poor and cons.Yes, we do. and. We do. And what do you think could be another pro or another con to this, Jamie, Why could it still be a waste of time or why could it be not a waste of time.Yeah.Yeah, because is it something. I homework, Is there another way around homework, Valerie, Could we do something else other than homework, Could we have an extra hour in school, maybe, Could that be more beneficial being with a teacher or is it something whereby know homework in doing independent homework is better.我.I think I think both are good because if you do have to teacher, if you don't have you have a question that you don't understand the, the teacher could, you could ask her. and then she might teach you. So can understand better. And then if you do homework by by myself.And I could learn I could try to be more independent and learn some things by myself.and okay, so we've got this idea. these two ideas. Okay, well done, Valerie. Okay, so we're gonna put you into little teams. Don't worry if you're on a team that you don't, you thought the other side, I'm gonna be in both rooms. So I'll be coming in and out of both rooms. You'll understand in a second. Okay, we're gonna be thinking is homework a waste of time. We're gonna have a team that says, yes, it is. Yes, it absolutely is. Yeah, it's time consuming. It's takes away from games and playing.😊It takes away from sports, it takes away from being able to be with our friends and family Yeah, video games takes away from video games maybe it means we can never switch off at home maybe.😡Yeah, yes, Jamie, I' not disagreed with me to play video game.So todayJ we can debate why you need to but the other side, the negativega team, the ones that saying no, it's not a waste of time yeah, it's a good thing to do we want to say we can work independently we can practice something we can see who's listening in class we can check our understanding we can become more intelligent so we're gonna be debating this today Yeah think about whether tasks useful in your homework are all is all homework good or is some homework.😊Fit boring or not very useful. We you given too much. Does homework feel like all you do is too much homework, Yeah, or do you feel like I could do with more homework, I want more than you get my life.😡Yes's Jamie. It's too, too little. too little. Alice is saying it's too little. And could you cope with doing more homework, or do you think, no, I want to be able to do other things, Other activities, Hobbies, swimming, please.so we want to think about these ideas today I'm going to give you some statistics, so here are some these are countries we've got China, Italy, USA, UK and Finland.China has the most homework yeah, most 14 hours, yes, Alice.Like in my school is international school. and this is like the UK school International. So you won't do as much homework. So you can only do about 6 and a half4 and a half hours with the Victor. What were you going say.On the that I use my homework I think is as much as in the UK. as much as the UK. Okay, so you don't have as much either. What about you, Alex.😊you don't know, sure, not sure that's okay, Jamie, what are you going to say?I'm going to say my brother is 16, and he wrote the homework like to half past3, and he don't have any time to sleep. Look at that. Does it too late. Yeah, so much homework. So China has a lot of homework.But Finland has hardly any homework. But so look at this. Okay, all of you look at that graph. I'm now going to show you the results.On who is more intelligent in terms of countries and as you can see, UK Finland who had hardly any homework are as good, if not the same as Italy, USA and China So think about that today does homework really make you more intelligent, Yeah, or have we got more time to sleep better than Italy totally better than Italy a little bit.Li bitA little bit. But we're going to see you're going to be able to debate this for yourselves. We've brainstormed. So think about, do you like homework, Do you think doing homework takes too much time.How much homework do you think is good for students on what are the advantages.Right, I'm gonna put you into teams. I' gonna put you randomly today. Okay, so here we go. First person on the agreeing team of it's a waste of time will be Alex, Welcome to the affirmative team. You're gonna say yes, Alex is gonna be saying yes, It's a waste of time. Alex, don't worry. You're not on your own. You will have a team. Alex must say yes, Alex must say yes, yes, he's gonna be debating. Yes, Victor.😊You're going to be saying no, it's not a waste of time.😡Okay, and then we are going to, who's gonna to be joining Alex, Bruce. Yes, Jamie, I think this is. I think this is, this is nothing.It's the only way to make it fair Jamie.But, but Jamie, Jamie, that's not debating. So when we're in teams for debating, you can end up on any side of a debating team. Okay, and today, everybody has basically said, no, it's not a waste of time. So the only fairway is to give this a random. Sometimes we'll get to choose. But most of the time in debating. We will debate either side of your teams. Okay, so who's joining Victor Jamie,.You are joining Victor saying no, it's not a waste of time. Okay, Alice and Valerie, Alice.You're joining yes. it is a waste of time or bless you, Alex, you's you're going to be fine, but you're going to be saying you are on you with Victor.Your what, I know, Alice, But this is what we're gonna be doing. You',Honestly, it'll be fine. We're gonna. everyone sort of thinks, no, it's not. So then we've got Valerie joining on the no team. Okay, so Victor, Valerie, Jamie, no, it's not a waste of time.ああ。Alex, Bruce and Alice, you're going to be saying yes, it is a waste of time, Okay, don't worry, I'm going to help you. Don't worry, Okay, we're going to put you into teams. Okay, so I'm going to now I'm going to put you into a breakout room, Here we go.Right starting my groups, so let's have Alex, Alice.😀And the roofs in here, Valerie, Jamie and Victor, you are going to the other room.e by They've disappeared.Yes, Bruce, they've gone to a different classroom, the same classroom, I can still see them, but they're in a different classroom, yes Alex.😊그.When you still whatever you say can they hear us, No, they cannot hear you now, Alex, I can see them, but we can't hear them. And this is what's going to be really good for us. Yes, Alice.😊ang with somes in no group.I don't think I think we were not gonna to do that today, Alice, But don't worry, there'll be lots of chances to be on on the team you want to be. I promise you. you're gonna to do amazing. Yeah, this is part of it. I promise you. I know, I know. I know. but we're gonna to do. We are saying, yes, it is a waste of time. But Alice, even if you don't agree with this. Okay, think about things that you can still debate by saying good things about homework. Yeah, your argument could be.😊Or about that some countries have too much. So you don't have to say, no, it's a waste of time. You could say it's, it's that sometimes some countries have too much homework. So you can debate that way, Aia, without having to completely go against what you believe. Yes, Bruce.I go first.And we can do that first so we'll have we will need to check so we can do Bruce will' speak first, then we can have Alex and then we'll have Alice. But this time for now, Bruce, Alice and Alex, I will need to talk to each other you can Google, you can research Okay, if you want to but what you you can do that, Alice, yes, Okay, yes, Bruce.😊그.I don't have That's okay, Alice has got it. You're gonna work as a team, Bruce. Alice is getting his money and yeah, Alice can do it with you. You're gonna work as a team. Yes, you guys gonna work together, Okay, way to talk I way to talk about why you think it could be seen as a waste of time, Why it could be, There's some answers already on the board for you, So I want to talk to each other. Okay, think about Bruce, what are you gonna say, Alice, what are you gonna say.😊Alex, what are you going say have a conversation with each other I'll be back I promise so talk to each other What could you talk about why do you so listen Alex so you can talk about why you think homework is a waste of time Okay so you're going to talk to each other think of reasons think about what you're going to debate today How is your team going to win Yeah we know what the other team is going to talk about don't we So think how will we?😡Going to convince me that your side is correct Okay, so Alice, Bruce and Alex, I'll be back have a chat with each other, okay.😀Hello, what are we doing?I can see you still. I can see you in the other room. right, so.What are we doing, Okay, So Jamie, let's listen, let's listen, Let's listen. Okay, Jamie, Victor and, I'm already, and ready, youre ready. We need sort your team, Jamie, you least sorty team. So Jamie, Valerie Victor. Now we're working as a team. and that's a big part of debating. Alright, so I want you guys to have a conversation.😊Yeah.What are each of you going to talk about because we don't want you to say the same reasons, Okay, so for example, Valerie, I don't want you to say it's good, it helps us learn Jamie says it's good, it helps us learn Victor says it's good, it helps us learn because that will not win your debate Okay, so each of you needs to talk about something different.😡Yes, the work Jamie, we're not debating yet, you're going to work together first.😊You're going to work together first. Okay, so I want you guys to have a chat, talk to each other. Who's going to talk about what What reasons are you going to talk about. Remember, you're saying no, it's not a waste of time.

Yes, Victor, but you all got different points to make. It's gonna make it strong. Remember, the other team are gonna say it's a waste of time that you should be playing video games.

Okay, Victor, are you ready.Okay, the negative team may start.😊I don't agree with his opinion. I believe that having a homework is.It's really good for students. First, Firstly, it can help them with with their, with their study. It can let them remember what they.😊What they learn as who and secondly, it can, it can also it can also have.Have more more exercise from school. They can. They can check if you, if you listen carefully when you when you're studying last lastly, it can.😊。You can also have have a prepare for your future work. If not you have more exercise in the future, you will have. You will have more study. You will have more study than other people.😊我.Yeah, welcome, Victor, We, Bruce, We, Victor, very well done for our start. Bruce, fantastic option. You stuck within your thing you were gonna talk about in your team, which was that tiredness. Okay, so we just need to build that answer with more examples. Victor, nice first, second and thirdly.

Yeah, some good ideas. Again, just make sure we're formulating it.ll, we'll talk more about writing these down. Okay, well done, Alex, your first debate, I am so proud of you. Okay, Valerie, are you ready to counter argue, Alex, Okay, Valerie, your time starts now.😊그.I agree with him, but I think that homework is not a waste of time because like homework might be hard, but sometimes you can like learn more things about the topic that you are you are the homework is about.And the homework could like be a kind of exercise. Like the teacher might tell you like to do like 20 pushs. That could be like a homework.And you could prepare for the future. You might even stop having to being addicted to playing video games, or.Or playing playing iPad or watching iPhones. And you might even get to good college or universities.Dream schools or maybe even schools not in Hong Kong, which is way better.Okay, well done, Valerie. nice example, Valer. Yeah, It was great to put an example in then more than one example to your point. And also again, you stuck to your point. Yes, Alex.😊Sally about it you've got a question, Alex, no, I don't know any question. I accidentally Oh, you accidentally pushed it. That's okay, Well done Alex., I'm so proud of you all. That's amazing. Okay, Alice, now, Alice, for the affirmative team. and Jamie, for the negative team. teacher, who is winning. Who is winning, or I can't tell you that until the end, Jamie, because anyone could change my mind. Any speech can change my mind. I swap. It'll only be revealed at the end. I promise you. Okay, right, Alice, are you ready, Alice.へへへへ。She's debate. Let's give a moment. Alice is doing what everyone will have to do in this class at some point. Alice is fighting for a team that she doesn't necessarily agree with. That's a hard position to be in. Okay, so Alice, you need to be applauded for that. Okay, everyone will have that in this in this class. I promise you. You're just the first. but let's take that moment. Okay, Alice, are you ready.😊Okay, your time starts now.😡I think like the we need to have less homework because I have to use the first reason is no time for family. Like when you have so many homework, you cannot like, really like talk to families and, and they don't know. How do you do in the school. and, And some and in some countries, homework is banned.😔Yeah.And like it did. And the student doesn't have time to spend with their family members because they have to like writing homework. And secondly, there is no time for outside activity. Most for most children, it have two hours, for outside activities. But if you have so many homework, I think you don't have like lots of time for outside activities.And the third thing is it damage our mental health, because like.Of we have while school change performance, they they risk students well being and when you doesn't like feel good. We like very tired. you don't like listen carefully to the teacher and you won't like, really learn something that school. And when you do the homework, you didn't know it because you are really tired for doing lots of homework..Well done, Alice. I really liked your first, second and third. Alice, Great question about the mental health. That was a really clever argument from you and your team. Well done. nicely delivered. Okay, Jamie, last argument for the negative team. Are you ready. Okay, your time starts now.😊Okay.The students' responsibility to learn, we can play video game when we haven't do our homework. The reason is just good for you. Parents can't, can't disagree when you do your homework. We need to enjoy the process.。When we do homework positively, we can do it shortly. Don't need to do homework. Just only, it just takes our free time. You can't play video game after doing homework. Video game isn't everything.It help us develop, develop condition self disciplineing organizational skills for future. We can We can't take anything out of homework..Welll done, Jamie, cater to two very different debates. absolutelyly brilliant. Jamie, again, nice use of your vocabulary. You've got a nice range of vocabulary. Okay, using things like responsibility, determined lack of really, really well done. Well, done both of you. Excel job.😊よし。Okay, well done all of you are so proud. Everybody's gonna a debate. Everybody managed to achieve today. Okay, you will develop your own things. Again, I just want to reiterate working as a team is a big thing. And it was really great to see you all starting to work as a team on lesson one. I can't believe you've achieved on lesson one. It's incredible. so.The winners of today's debate is.The negative team, We and Valerie, Victor and Jamie. Okay, Bruce, Alice and Alex, you worked so hard, though. And if it's not, like I said before, it does not matter What you put forward was amazing, and you all achieved.Valerie, Victor and Jamie, you'd had the edge. And that was because you were able to give me more reasons and more examples in today's debate. So well, well done. next week's debate, I'll put it into the chat fee as well. Teacher is the best job. Have a little thing. Both sides. Think for agree and disagree. You never know what team you're going end up on, okay.😊？Thank you so much, Bruce. Thank you, Alex. Thank you, Alex. Thank you, Valerie.
