Activity 4
Objective: 
• to practise talking about advantages and disadvantages of television 
Explain that the class is going to debate ‘TV is waste of time. Teenagers 
should not watch TV’. Divide the class into 2 groups, one for and one against 
the motion. Choose 1 pupil to be the Chairman. Ask the Chairman to begin 
the debate by reading from the paper you have given him/her. Do not interrupt 
the debate, make notes. You will need them for feedback. Revise how to give 
an opinion and if necessary write the phrases on the BB. e.g. I think... Sorry,
I don’t agree. We know th a t... so ... It’s true th a t... b u t...
Explain that at the end of the debate the Chairman will ask them to vote 
according to their own ideas, not according to their role in the debate. After 
the vote ask PP for feedback. You could ask: Did you enjoy the debate? Why/ 
Why not? Then you can tell them your feedback.
