Take a Side, Sound Convincing
Debate practice with sentence frames the textbook gives you
Speaking up in English isn't about big words. It's about knowing the frames — the small phrases that signal you are arguing, agreeing, disagreeing, or summing up. Kaveri gives you a list of these frames for both sides of a debate. Pick a side. Try them out loud. Then switch sides and try the others.
Six words from this debate's vocabulary that Hindi speakers commonly mispronounce. Tap to hear; then read aloud.
After you've tried both sides, which side did you find harder to argue, and why? (There is no correct answer; the question itself is the lesson.)
