Television
has a bad influence on children. |
T: You are divided into two groups. Group 1 agrees with the idea and you are the Affirmative Team. Group 2 disagrees with the idea and you are the Negative Team. There are some rules for you:
(1)Each team has three speakers. But both teams do research on the topic and try to find reasons for their point of view.
(2)The first speaker from each team presents their ideas.
(3)The second speaker further argues and disagrees with the previous speaker from the other team.
(4)The third speaker from each team disagrees with the other team’s ideas further.
(5)Speakers debate the statement freely.
(6)The third speaker makes a summary of what their team has argued.
Now, each group discusses and writes your ideas and reasons on a piece of paper and then gives it to your speakers.
(教师告诉学生辩论程序和要领后,学生分组讨论。)
T: Debate begins with the Affirmative Team, then the Negative Team.
Example:
|
|
Affirmative Team |
Negative Team |
|
First speaker |
We
agree with the idea: Television has a bad influence on children. |
On
the contrast, we disagree with the idea: Television has no bad influence on
children. |
|
Second speaker |
We
all know that there are many TV programs. But some are unhealthy. Children
will act as what they see. Television also keeps us away from healthy
activities. |
We
disagree with the idea because most of us can learn much from television. For
example, it can increase our knowledge, help us collect information and make
our life interesting and colorful. |
|
Third speaker |
While
television makes our life interesting and colorful, we will also learn some
rude words and bad behaviors, even accept some unhealthy ideas. For example,
when a child sees a character who likes smoking, he will learn to smoke. |
I
disagree with you. There are many healthy programs, we can reject the
unhealthy ones. At the same time, our parents sometimes give us some advice
when we watch TV together. |
|
Summary |
Bad
habits are formed gradually while bad behaviors are acted at once. In a word,
television can’t have no bad influence on children. |
Obviously,
television has more good influences on our life. We can’t have no dinner just
because of a little corn in it. So we can’t say television has bad influence
on children. |
