Okay, so we're having a little debating trial lesson, aren't we today? Okay, Yeah. Today we are going to be talking all about fireworks, okay? And how we are going to have our debate. So what a debate looks like, what we're going to be including in it, okay? So you've got your cameras turned on, so keep your cameras on.

So we're going to play a little game called agree or disagree. Okay? So you're going to think carefully about each statement, decide if you agree or disagree with it, and then think of at least one reason for why you agree or disagree, okay? Right, William, are you ready? Good, Noah, are you ready? We already good. Oh, and we've got somebody else join us. Hello, Herman. How are you today? I'm good. You're good. Herven. My name's Amber. Okay? And I'm your teacher today. We've just started, okay? And we're about to play a little game called agree or disagree. Okay? So Herman, all you need to do is look at the statement, decide if you agree or disagree, and then think of at least one reason why. Okay, okay, okay, great. So let's go. Here's our statement. Children should be banned from watching tv. Okay. So what does the word band mean? Does anybody know this word here? Banned. What does that mean? Put your hand up if you know. Do you know, Herman? No, no, you're not sure. Okay, Noah, do you know what band means? No, it means. No, it means. No not yes okay, so it means Yeah children should not be able to watch tv, okay if something is banned. Bad, it's illegal. Okay, it's stopped. So children should be stopped from watching tv. That's what it means. So think about if you agree or disagree and one reason why. Okay, put your hand up if you're ready to start. Who's going to go first? So agree or disagree and why. Herman, would you like to go first? Is that okay? Okay, Yeah. So do you agree or disagree, Herman? Agree. You agree that that children should be banned from watching tv. Okay, why, Herman, can you give us a reason why. Because eyes. Very bad. Okay, yes. So it's bad for your eyes to watch too much tv, isn't it? Yeah. Anything else, Herman, or are you finished? Well done. Well done, Herman. Thank you very much for starting us off. That's great. Okay. So Herman said, television is bad for your eyes. What do we think, Noah, to agree or disagree? Great. You agree. Why Noah? No, I, yes, why do you agree that children should be banned from watching tv? Nobody. They should never watch tv. Is that what you think? Do a time. No, because Yeah. It's. Don't want have a little think, have a think. K, Noah and I will come back to you in a moment. Okay. No, because no, because okay. Okay, well done nower. We'll come back to you in a minute. I'm just going to go to William. Okay, but well done, right? William, what do you think? You agree as well. Why? Because the tv is bad, it's for. Did you say to your eyes, Yeah. So you agree with Herman, don't you? Yes. Okay. Well, I'm William. Thank you very much. Okay, Noah, did you want to say anything else? 你在吗？这真常。No, not sure that's okay, right. Thank you, noma. Okay, so that's our first statement. Here's our second one. Parents spend too much time on their phones. So think about your parents. Do you think they spend too much time on their phones and why? Oh, noahready, come on there. Nowhere. What do you think? I think you agree parents spend too much time on their phones. Okay, can you tell us why? What do you think, Noah? Not this, not this, not this. Oh, you disagree. Okay, so you don't think your parents spend too much time on their phones, okay, why? Any reason why? Because. Not sure I'm going to ask William. Okay, thank you, Noah. Well done. Okay, I'm just going to come to William, right? William, what do you think? My mom is I too much? Is it why is it bad? Because it's hurt the eyes. You think it's hurting your mu's eyes. Okay, okay. Thank you, William. Well done. Okay, Herman, what do you think? You agree, do you, Herman? Now you disagree. Okay, which one are you choosing, Hammond? Because watch phone is very bad. Yeah why do you think it's bad? My ass is very hurt. Do you think it's bad for your parents eyes as well to look at their phone too much? Okay, yes, thank you, Herman. So you agree with William rupt? Okay, nobody said that if your parents are looking at their phone too much, then maybe they're not playing with you or helping you with your homework or doing other things, okay? And what about watching too much tv? Not only is it bad for your eyes, but it's probably bad for your education because you're not reading or you're not learning, you're not playing. Okay, if you're watching tv, all right, so let's have a look now at debating. Okay. A debate is a kind of formal argument between two or more opposing sides. So you need at least one person on each side for a debate. We need somebody for and we need somebody against the motion. Okay. And you have to try and prove how your team is right. And the other team called the opposition, okay, that's this word here is wrong, right? So the point of a debate is to prove that your team is right and the opposition is wrong. If we speak publicly and convey our ideas and thoughts coherently and passionately, we have a valuable tool that can aid us in our public, private and future lives. So how can you persuade the other team that your ideas, your arguments are right and there's a wrong? Okay? What do you think? Let's just go back to this one. Okay. Can you list some things that you need to include in your speech? How could you prove that your ideas, your arguments are right and the opposition are wrong? What could you include? Have you got any ideas? Put your hand up if you've got any ideas. We're not sure big now. Oh, nowhere. No, what do you think, Noah? I did. This means no, no, no, you're not sure, okay? Okay, let's have a look together. That's fine. So firstly we need to include an opening statement which states your opinion, so what you think and a list of your arguments. Okay? So your reasons why. So you've got to say whether you agree or disagree and why. Okay, for example, I strongly believe that watching television is bad for children. It is not educational. It creates laziness and increases bad behavior. Okay, so let's have a look at what this introduction includes. Okay, I'm going to underline the different things it includes. Okay, so we've got a really persuasive opener, I strongly believe, okay, then watching television is bad for children that tells us that they agree with the statement, okay? So they're saying whether they agree or disagree here and they're saying they agree, okay, that television is bad, then they're giving some reasons why it's not educational. That's reason number one, okay? It creates laziness that's reason number two, and increases bad behavior is reason number three. Okay? So they've told us they agree with the motion and they've given us three reasons why, okay. Here we go. Okay, so secondly, you need to support your first argument with some reasons. Okay, so now they're going to expand on their three reasons why. Okay, so the first one, it's not educational because television involves watching, not thinking. When children are not thinking, they are not using their imagination, which is tragic. A lack of thinking and imagination can affect a child's schoolwork. Okay, so they've expanded here on their first reason. Why haven't they all right. Can anybody else see some other things that they've included here? Can you see what else they've included? Anybody want to put your hand up if you can see something? Williliam, what do you think? I think yes. I think he's dead. To underline it, William, the. Can you just say that again, William, please? Say that again for me, not. It's not天. It's not here. Don't have a little think, William, and I'll come back to you. I'm not quite sure what you mean. To enter trants. Later. Okay, we'll come back to you later. Okay, so let's have a look now let me change colors because the first interesting word that we have is called a time connective. Okay? These are also called time words. So firstly, secondly, after that at all time words or time connectives, okay, it's a really good to use at the beginning of your speech, okay? Then we've got their first argument, haven't we? It's not educational because, okay, they have also included some strong persuasive language, which is tragic. Okay, tragic means, do you know what tragic means? Anybody? Does anybody know what tragic means? So good, right? No, not sure. Okay. Tragic means terrible. All right? It means terrible. Okay, here we go. So then we've got it. Some supporting reasons. So we've got a lack of thinking and imagination can affect a child's schoolwork. Okay, right. So first of all we had our little introduction, didn't we, where you need to tell us whether you agree or disagree and your three reasons why. Then they've expanded on their reasons. Okay? Now you need to try to support your arguments with some more reasons. Okay, so we've got Oh, hang on. Here we go. Last but not least, okay, so we need to restate your opinion and summariise your arguments in your conclusion. Okay? So once you've included all three of your arguments, you could say something like, in conclusion, it's obvious that children watch too much television and should be stopped. This is because children's education, physical fitness and behavior are at risk. Make yourself smarter and fitter and with better behaved today by not watching television. Now, can anybody see what this paragraph included? What have we got? A hair? Does anybody want to put their hand up and have a look? Can anybody see any strong language? It looks like we've got somebody else joined us. Hello, Claire. Are you there? Your hair? Are you Claire? We can't see you at the moment, but come and join us when you can. Right. Okay. So let's have a look then at what this paragraph included. Whoops, is it going to show us. No, okay. Well, I can show you we've got a lovely phrase at the beginning in conclusion to start our conclusion. Okay. They're stating that they agree again with the motion, okay? And they're summarizing their reasons why they agree, okay? Education, fitness and behavior. Okay. Then we've got a really persuasive sentence at the end, make yourself smarter, fitter and better behaved today by not watching television. So it's very persuasive at the end of their argument, okay? Right? Let's practice trying to persuade. Okay, so we've got our topic here, which is children should read every day, okay? So. Whoops, hang on, sorry. So children should read every day, so put your hand up when you have thought about whether you agree. Or disagree with the motion and when you have some reasons why. Okay. So think about whether you agree or disagree again and your reasons why. Okay, Herman, over to you. Let's put you here, Herman. There we go. I agree. So you agree, agree. Yes, because it's for my very good. Why do you think reading is so good, Herman? I can know many things exactly. Yes, it helps you to learn about the world. Doesn't Tito learn new words? And reading actually helps you with writing as well, okay? It helps with your imagination so you can see or picture new things in your mind. Yeah. Okay. And gives you ideas for your writing as well, doesn't it? Yeah. Right. Thank you for starting us off, Herman. Well done. Who would like to go next? Would you like to go next, William? No, you're not sure. Okay. Have you got something else to say, Herman? You had your hands up, Perman, no, okay, that was an accident. Okay, no problem. Noah, have you got something youlike to say? Do you agree? Agree. Okay, great, good. Noah, can you tell us why? Because. Reading is good. Do you know why it's good? I know. Can you tell us, Noah, why is it good? Because that is good. Okay, right. Thank you, Noah. Well done. Have we got Claire now? Claire, have you joined us? Not quite. Okay, I'll come back to you in a moment. I'll come back to you in a moment, Claire. Okay, no problem. William, would you like to share some ideas now? Yes yes, okay. Read is good because it can learn. The orlives you can learn good college, learn from college. Yes. Yeah, okay. Yes, you can learn lots of things through reading can't you? Lots of new words and you're right to gets you ready for college. Okay? Thank you, William. Well done. Right. Okay. So well done, everybody. Remember to use what you have learned and practiced in the next activity. So our main debate today is, should firecrackers or fireworks be set off to celebrate the New Year? Hey, now I know Chinese New year is in February. Isn't it coming up soon? So I wonder, do you think firework should be used at New Year's celebrations? We're going to watch a little video showing some fireworks first, and then I'm going to give you some time to think about your ideas. Okay? So think about your ideas while we're watching. Okay? And I will come to you, heaven and William, in a moment. All right, there go. Right, I'm just going to pause it there for now. Okay. So did you enjoy watching those fireworks? Yes, I'm not sure where they were actually, right? So first of all, I want you to think about whether you agree or disagree with the motion. Should fireworks be set off to celebrate the New Year and try to think about three reasons why. So have a think for a minute. Now, can you think of three reasons why? Okay. So think very carefully for a minute. Okay. Right. Shall we go to you first then, William? Right. So William, before we start, I want you to try to tell us whether you agree or disagree and then very clearly tell us your reasons why. Okay? Are you I agreed the fiwork because it's good. Because Yeah because it's good the is happy the people and the children. So do you mean you're finished? Do you mean that they're fun to watch? William, is that what you mean? Yes, it is good. You think so. You agree that fireworks should be set off? Yeah. I think you said they're fun to watch. You said for adults and children, didn't you? Yes, it's what is fun. The children like the fireworks. Yes. Children like yes. Okay. So that's one reason why. Okay? That's one reason why. Have you got any more reasons, William? No, I like people happy and good. They make people happy. Did you say make people happy? Yes, they make people feel happy. Okay, I'm just making some notes on your reasons why. Okay? If you see me typing, that's why. Okay, so you had two reasons there. Well done, William. That was great. Good. Well done. Thank you, William. Okay, let's go to Noah next. Okay, Noah, can you try to tell us if you agree or disagree and your reasons why? Okay. So what do you think, Noah? I am great because. The fireworks are so beautiful, red, purple. And. I see dances. I don't know what he is, but it look like fireworks. Okay, so I like things. Okay. So you like watching them. So like William, you agree that they're beautiful or they're pretty to watch? And I like because. I oi like how you told us about all the beautiful colors. So well done, Noah. Okay, thank you for telling us about the beautiful colors of fireworks. That was great. Well done, Noah. Okay, let's go to, let's go to Claire next. Are you there, Claire? There. Hello, Claire. Oh, we can't hear you. You're muted at the moment. Can you unmute yourself? That's it. Yes, we can hear you now. Thank you. Play the read.

And Herman, can you please tell us whether you agree or disagree that firework should be used at New Year's celecelebrations? And if you can, can you give us three reason, Herman? It's. I think it's disagrebecause. It's noisy, okay? So fireworks are noisy. They. Might upset some people. Mithey Herman very, very dangerous. Right? Okay. Why are they dangerous, Herman? Do you know because they. They are very hot. Yes, that's good. Yes, they're very hot. They can burn people, can't they? People can get serious burns from fireworks. Good. Okay? Okay. So they're noisy. That's number one. Okay? So they might upset children, Young children or older people or pets. And number two, they are dangerous because they're so hot. Yes. Okay. Do you have a third reason, Herman? No, not. No, that's okay. Well done, Herman. Thank you very much. Okay. Right? What I'm going to ask you to do now is if you think now that you can either summariise your reasons why or add another reason why, if you thought of something else, you can put your hand up now. Okay? So put your hand up if you thought of something else to say. Okay, over to William. So William, you said that you agree that fireworks should be used to celebrate New Year because you said that they make people happy and children like to watch them. Okay, what would you like to add, William? Beautiful school, beautiful. Because it's the. Because it's beautiful and great. The people likes the hard work. Yeah is good and possible. Tenessphere tensphere and. Okay. Thank you very much, William for adding that. Well done, lovely. Okay. Does anybody else want to add anything or shall we move on? Anybody else? No, okay. So Oh, yes, William. You can add something else. Just an accident. That's okay. That's okay. Right? So what we're going to do now is read these comments and summariise the main points. Okay? So we're just going to find the main points. Okay? All the main arguments. So here's number one. Let's look at the pink one first. I absolutely love letting off fireworks at home with my family. Fireworks have been used in a wide range of celebrations across the world for centuries. They are an important part of people's culture and traditions, which should be respected. Okay, does anybody want to help me to find the main points? Who can find the main points? Put your hand up. Claire, do you think you could have a go? Would you like to try? You can just add the line on the screen if you want to clear. Okay. So what are the main points or the main arguments? Have you got any ideas, Claire? No, you will me to ask somebody else. We can't hear you at the moment, Claire. You're muted again, I think. Okay. Let's ask kmp Herman, did you have your hand up? Did you have your hand up? Yes, low lying teoff. Sorry. Yes, yes, yes, okay. Do you want to underline the main points then, Herman? What do you think is the main bit? Okay, good. Do you like? Fire qukers. Okay. And then if we underline also, fireworks have been used in a wide range of celebrations across the world for centuries. They are an important part of people's culture and traditions. Okay, so Perman, do you think they agree or disagree with letting off fireworks? Agree. Yes, well done. That's right. They agree, don't they? Okay, they've said given us two reasons, haven't they? The first one is here and the second one is about culture and tradition. Okay, let's look at the Green paragraph now. Okay? Celebration with fireworks is outdated. The smoke and chemicals released from them causes pollution and is damaging to the environment. Drone and light displays do not only look incredible, but then much better for the environment. Okay, now let me show you a quick video of a drone display. This is what they mean by drone light displays, right? I'll punch him in just a moment. Just going to pause it there. Okay, so that's what we mean by drone displays, okay? So it says drone and light displays not only look incredible, but they're much better for the environment. Okay. Who would like to find the main points in the Green paragraph? Would you like to do that, William? Yes, okay. Would you like to underline them, William? Yes. 嗯，好。Okay, good. Clear. Yeah. So we've got light displays not only look incredible, but they're much better for the environment. Yes, that's one reason why, isn't it? Is there something else? Will you. Yes, the smoke and chemicals released from them causes pollution and is damaging for the environment. Okay, well done. So do you think this person agrees or disagrees with letting off fireworks, William? Yes, disae disagree, don't they? Good. So this one is disagree, and the first one was agree. Well done, William. Thank you very much. Whoops, there we go. Let's make that big screen. Okay, here we go. Say, think about pros and cons. Okay? Let's have a look, okay? What are the drawbacks of setting off fireworks? What can people do instead of setting off fireworks during New Year? A. Why do people celebrate with fireworks? Why do people enjoy fireworks? Now? Who thinks that they can now give three arguments? Put your hand up if you think you can give us three arguments now. Does anyone think they can add to their arguments? Or now give us three arguments. What do you think? Claire Noah. So something youlike to say. Noah, do you think you can give us some more arguments about why fireworks can be set off at New Year? What means? So do you remember we're talking about whether fireworks should or should not be set off during a New Year? Do you think fireworks are still a good idea? Yes. Okay. So is there anything else that you can say about why we should use fireworks at New Year? Say something else. No, no. Okay, thank you. Okay. Anybody else before we move on? No. Okay. So. Let's try to just have a few minutes, okay, debating and you're going to each give your reasons why you think that fireworks should or should not be used at New Year now. Okay, so we're going to try that again. Give your agree or disagree and then try and give three reasons why. Okay, claare, can we start with you? You are going to be on the affirmative team because you agree, okay? Are you ready to give your reasons why, Claire? Okay, if you just unmute yourself. That's it. We can't hear you, Claire, so you just need to. That's it. Okay. Yes. I think we should I think we should set off set up the works. The new. Year. We can get together. Okay, thank you, Claire weldurhan, so you can get together to watch the beautiful fireworks, lovely reasons world dclair. Okay. So let's go to now. Herman, you disagreed, didn't you? I'm going to come to you now, Herman, because you're going to be on the negative team, okay? Because you disagreed. So can you now disagree with Claire, please, and state your reasons again? Because it's very hot. It's very just because it's very hot. It's bad for air. It's noise. They can make a noisy, okay, do you have another reason why Haman? No, okay, it's bad for air. Yes, that's right. That can be your third reason, Herman. It's bad for the environment, aren't they? And air pollution. Good. Well done, Herman. Thank you very much. Good. Okay. So let's go now back to the affirmative team. Let's go to Noah. Okay. So Noah, can you tell us your reasons again why you think fireworks should be used to celebrate New Year? People, fireworks are so beautiful and sounds like so louand. It has so many colors, so I like fireworks. Okay. Any other reasons Noah, or have you finished? Well done. Okay. Thank you, Noah. That was very clear that time. Well done. We could understand those reasons really well. Well done. That was nice and clear. Okay, so William, you agree as well, don't you? Okay. And people like the fireworks. Make dogs happy and children happy. It's good. You're done. Okay, right? Thank you very much, William. Well done. Okay, well done everybody. That was just our little practice debate. Okay, so we could have said on the affirmative team letting off fireworks at home with family is one of our favite family activities and we shouldn't change that. Clair said that it that fireworks get everybody together to watch them. Fireworks during New Year is part of our culture into tradition or some charity use fireworks events to raise funds to raise money to help people. On the negative side, Bix are explosive and dangerous. As Herman said, they can pollute the air and the noise from fireworks can upset some people. Okay, thank you very much for all participating. Well done everybody with giving your reasons why you agree or disagree with using fireworks, and I hope to see you soon on another course. Okay, well done today, everybody. Well done, Noah. Well done, Herman. Well done, William. Well done, Claire. Bye. Bye pack.
