Listening - debate

We went through those issues last week. Talking and debating. So, today is the time to listen to other people's opinions on the subject.


Wednesday 13th

As promised, we did the listening.

There was a variety of accents.

This was the order of speaking: American Man 1, American Man 2, Englishman 1, American Woman and a Scotsman.

 Which one was the most difficult for you to understand?
Did you expected him/her to be?

Your Ideal Community: City or Country?

Nice to meet you Isabel.

In our first lesson we found out a little about each other.

We debated wether to live in the city or the country. It appears to me that we both, sort of prefer the city to live in. And we could leave the country for a weekend or a holiday.

No doubt there are advantages and disdvantages in both cases. There are also some factors to be taken into account. That's why we structured the debate in several parts.

- Moving Out to the Countryside. (Would you like to?)
- Which is Better for Kids?        
- A Question of Age.
- Two Homes or One?
- Small Towns or the Burbs?
- Do you Live Where you Want to?

We went through those issues last week. Talking and debating. So, today is the time to listen to other people's opinions on the subject.
