Dear Kyoto NHK ESS members
This is the announcement for the latter activity on April 11th 2015.
Presenter: Osamu Minamihashi
Date: April 11th, 2015
Genre: Debate
Title: Japan should provide some assistance to redress overpopulation in developing world, instead of expensive programs such as space development.
(日本は費用のかかる宇宙開発などの代わりに、途上国の人口問題を是正するために、何か援助をすべきである。)
Description:
Make some groups so that each group has 3 members. I would ask the leader to be special additional judge if 1 member were left. If 2 members were left, Minamihashi would join the group.
Please confirm within each group that this is a kind of game for English practice that would not directly have any impact on our real world.
Read the material Minamihashi would distribute.
Discuss and write your major points of possible speech as the Affirmative, the Negative and the Judge
The Affirmative must argue it is advantageous to provide the assistance, while the Negative must advocate it is disadvantageous to provide the assistance. The judge is expected to decide the winner of the match for some persuasive reason.
Decide the order to be the Affirmative, the Negative and the Judge so that your group consists of 3 little groups. Be careful so that each member can take 3 different roles in turn.
Prepare your flow sheets to take note during the 3 debate matches.
Let the each speaker start his/her speech in the following order and time frame. (13分間でこの項目を1通りやって下さい。)
