Hello everybody, Dr. David here.
2
We will begin your debate training today with the most crucial thing in a debate: making an argument.
3
To guide you through the first step of your training, I will introduce Argument Alice.
4
Alice's superpower is making arguments.
5
She'll show you how to do it.
6
Good luck.
7
Hello everyone, my name is Argument Alice and my goal is to train you all how to be expert argument builders.
8
What is an argument exactly?
9
An argument has three main building blocks.
10
Building an argument is like building a house.
11
A house needs a floor or foundation, walls, and a roof.
12
We can't build a house without a roof, without a floor or walls.
13
Similarly, we can't build an argument without claims, reasoning, or evidence.
14
We can remember this with the letters CRE.
15
These are the pieces of our arguments.
16
We begin with a claim.
17
We support the claim with reasoning and we prove our claim with evidence and examples.
18
First, let's look at what a claim is.
19
A claim is an assertion.
20
It is one single sentence that states our point.
21
A claim is different from a fact.
22
A fact is not something we can debate about, but a claim is something debatable.
23
We have to try to prove that it is true.
24
Let's look at the difference between a fact and a claim.
25
Here is a fact.
26
2 plus 2 equals 4.
27
We can't debate this.
28
Here is a claim.
29
Most students love to take math classes.
30
This claim is something we can debate.
31
So the first step of any argument is making a clear claim.
32
Second, we need to follow our claim with reasoning.
33
Reasons explain our point.
34
Reasons are simply the explanation for why our claims are valid.
35
To deliver reasons, we just need to ask ourselves: Why?
36
Why is this true?
37
How does this work?
38
Sometimes our claims seem obvious, and it looks like we don't need to explain.
39
In the debate, however, we need to explain as much as we can.
40
Third and finally, to complete our argument, we need evidence.
41
Evidence is what proves our claim is valid and convinces the audience that it is true.
42
Evidence can be statements from experts, research reports, or articles, or specific examples.
43
We can find evidence from articles, books, videos, podcasts, and other sources of information.
44
We can also provide examples from our everyday life and experiences.
45
What is important is that we have specific evidence and examples to complete our arguments.
46
So, in summary, arguments have three main components: Claim,
47
state our point, Explain our point.
48
Evidence: Prove our point.
49
Now, let's look at an example of what this looks like in a real debate.
50
If our debate topic is, kids should not be allowed to have mobile phones.
51
There are several possible claims we can make to support the topic.
52
One claim we could make is that mobile phones will be harmful to kids' eyes.
53
If we want to provide reasons for the claim that mobile phones will be harmful to kids' eyes, we need to ask ourselves: why is this true?
54
Let's come up with as many reasons as we can why it is true.
55
Reason 1: Mobile phones have a light called a blue light.
56
That's what allows us to see the screen.
57
If kids look at this light too much, it will hurt their eyes.
58
Mobile phones have so many bright colors and images that are too bright for kids' eyes.
59
Reason 2: Most kids cannot stop looking at their mobile phones.
60
Mobile phones have lots of games and videos that kids like to watch.
61
These games and videos are fun and exciting and kids can't stop watching them.
62
The bright colors and images are very attractive to kids.
63
Reason 3: Sometimes use.
64
Parents and teachers cannot watch their kids at all times because they are busy.
65
This means kids can look at their mobile phones all day, which is bad for their eyes.
66
So these reasons explain why phones are harmful to kids
67
and why it is difficult for kids to stop looking at their phones
68
and why parents and teachers cannot easily control the phones.
69
Now our argument is taking shape.
70
There is only one more thing we need: evidence.
71
How do we know that these arguments are true?
72
Is there any evidence or examples we can provide that prove our claim is true?
73
We can find evidence and examples from articles, books, podcasts, and videos.
74
I read an article from a newspaper called the Washington Post from August 2018, and I found this evidence.
75
A new study says that smartphones may ruin your eyesight.
76
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio have found that exposure to blue light, the glow emitted from most smartphones,
77
tablets and laptops, promotes the growth of poisonous molecules in your eyes, leading to macular degeneration.
78
There are a lot of important words here we would need to define.
79
Overall, however, this provides us good evidence for our reasoning about blue light and its impact on our eyes.
80
So, let's look at what the full argument with claims, reasoning, and evidence would look like in a speech.
81
not be allowed to have mobile phones is.
82
Mobile phones are bad for kids eyes.
83
Now, let me explain the reasons why this is true.
84
First of all, Mobile phones have a light called a blue light.
85
That's what allows us to see the screen.
86
If kids look at this light too much, it will hurt their eyes.
87
Mobile phones have so many bright colors and images that are too bright for kids' eyes.
88
Secondly, most kids cannot stop looking at their mobile phones.
89
Mobile phones have lots of games and videos that kids like to watch.
90
These games and videos are fun and exciting and kids can't stop watching them.
91
The bright colors and images are very attractive to kids.
92
Third.
93
Sometimes parents and teachers cannot control the mobile phone use.
94
Parents and teachers cannot watch their kids at all times because they're busy.
95
This means that kids can look at their mobile phones all day which is bad for their eyes.
96
Now, let me introduce some evidence to support this claim.
97
A new study says that smartphones may ruin your eyesight.
98
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio have found that exposure to blue light, the glow emitted from most smartphones,
99
tablets, and laptops, promotes the growth of poisonous molecules in your eyes leading to macular degeneration.
100
So, Ladies and gentlemen, we believe that kids should not have mobile phones because they are too harmful to kids eyes.
101
Now, we have learned how to build an argument.
102
We have learned what a claim, reasoning, and evidence are.
103
We have seen an example in a debate.
104
Now, you can work with your teammates to build arguments for your debates.
105
Good luck!
106
I'm going to go to the next one you you

Über diese Lektion

Dr. David und Argument Alice führen uns durch die Grundbausteine einer Argumentation, die aus einem Anspruch, einer Begründung und Beweisen bestehen. Diese Bausteine sind vergleichbar mit dem Bau eines Hauses, bei dem jede Komponente wichtig ist, um eine solide Struktur zu schaffen. Wenn Sie die Schritte zur Argumentationsbildung beherrschen, werden Sie in der Lage sein, Ihre Meinungen klar und überzeugend auszudrücken. Diese Fähigkeiten sind besonders nützlich, wenn Sie Englisch lernen und Ihre mündlichen Fähigkeiten in realen Debatten verbessern möchten.

Wichtige Vokabeln & Phrasen

  • Anspruch (claim) - Eine Aussage, die debattierbar ist.
  • Begründung (reasoning) - Die Erklärung, warum der Anspruch gültig ist.
  • Beweis (evidence) - Informationen, die den Anspruch unterstützen.
  • Fakt (fact) - Eine unwiderlegbare Tatsache.
  • Kinder und Handys (kids and mobile phones) - Beispielthema für eine Debatte.
  • Argument (argument) - Eine strukturierte Präsentation von Ansprüchen, Gründen und Beweisen.

Übungstipps

Um Ihre Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und die Fähigkeiten zur Argumentation zu stärken, empfehle ich, die Techniken des Shadowspeak anzuwenden. Schauen Sie sich das Video sehr aufmerksam an und wiederholen Sie nach Dr. David und Argument Alice. Achten Sie auf die Betonung und den Rhythmus ihrer Sprache. Versuchen Sie, die Punkte laut nachzusprechen, um ein Gefühl für die Struktur und die Formulierungen zu bekommen. Das langsame und deutliche Sprechen im Video eignet sich hervorragend für das Shadowing. Arbeiten Sie daran, Ihre eigene Stimme einzufügen, während Sie dem Audio folgen. Diese Methode ist besonders effektiv, um die englische Sprache flüssiger zu sprechen und Ihre Argumentationsfähigkeiten zu trainieren. Sind Sie bereit, Ihre Argumentation zu perfektionieren? Beginnen Sie noch heute mit Englisch lernen mit YouTube.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
