Технология ДЕБАТЫ

Дебаты – это целенаправленный и упорядоченный (структурированный) обмен идеями, суждениями, мнениями . Дебаты способствуют формированию критического мышления, навыков системного анализа, формированию собственной позиции, искусству аргументации.

Суть дебатов : убедить нейтральную сторону, судей, в том, что ваши аргументы лучше, аргументы вашего оппонента.

This is a basic debate structure:

• -A topic is chosen for each debate - this is called a resolution or motion. It can be a statement, policy or idea. The motion is usually a policy which changes the current state of affairs or a statement which is either truth or false.
• -There are two teams of three speakers:

• The Affirmative team support the statement The Negative team oppose the statement
• The Affirmative team support the statement
• The Negative team oppose the statement
• -Sometimes you will be asked to take a position in the debate but in other debates you will be allocated your position.
• -Teams are provided with time to prepare
• -Each speaker presents for a set amount of time
• -Speakers alternate between the teams, usually a speaker in the Affirmative team starts, followed by a Negative speaker, then the second Affirmative speaker presents, followed by the second Negative speaker etc.
• -The debate is then judged

Pros and Cons of Living in the City

1.

+ Meeting New People

You will meet new people anywhere you move, but the experience is different in a city because major cities draw all kinds of people to them from all over the world. 

- Higher Crime Rates

More people = more crime. Higher crime rates also raise auto insurance rates, due to car theft and damage, burglaries and vandalism

2.

+ Public Transportation

The public transportation system in major cities is a good alternative to driving yourself and dealing with the traffic and parking situation.  Cities have trains or subways, buses, and plenty of taxis

- Cities have more people and more traffic that contribute to the noise , as well as trains and nearby airports with loud planes flying in . I think that the traffic is one of the worst things in the city. The environment in the city is polluted and it is unhealthy for living.

3.

+ Big Events

The biggest events such as sporting events, concerts, festivals, and art openings happen in major cities.  You can catch a concert or a baseball game without the long drives to and from the suburbs.

- Special events such as concerts and ball games can make a neighborhood louder and more congested. We think the noisy place where people live might cause extra stress.

4.

+Higher Salaries

Employers are usually willing to pay more.

- The higher cost of living is the first disadvantage that people typically think of when considering moving to a city.  Major cities always have a

higher cost of living than the surrounding suburbs
