Oral Genre Communicating Spoken Text Type: Informal Debate
A ‘Lapland is the best place on Earth.’ Argue for and against using the prompts below.
For
I strongly agree that Lapland is the best place on Earth.
In my opinion, it is a magical place that every child should visit at least once in their life.
I believe that there is no experience quite like meeting the real Santa in Lapland.
On the one hand, it can be expensive to get there, but on the other hand, the experience is worth the money.
I feel that all parents should save up from the day their child is born so that they can bring them to Lapland.
In fact, schools could even bring children there on school tours.
The problem is that there is just too much to do and see there and too much fun to be had.
To finish, I ask that it be made law in Ireland that every child must to go to Lapland.
Against
I strongly disagree that Lapland is the best place on Earth.
In my opinion, there is no place like home and there is no need to travel so far away.
I believe that going to visit Santa in Ireland is more special than going anywhere else to see him.
On the one hand, it would be a great experience, but on the other hand, the cost to get there is outrageous.
I feel that there is too much pressure on parents to find the money to bring their children to Lapland.
In fact, all trips there should be banned.
The problem is that people get caught up in the hype of going to Lapland and forget about the true meaning of Christmas.
To finish, please remember that home is where the heart is and enjoy the special Christmas season with your family.
B Choose a topic to debate with a mate!
Children should be allowed to ground their parents.
All food should be free.
The weekend should be three days instead of two.
