39

40
Remember what Structure Sam says and always enumerate these arguments.
41
In this step, you simply provide a conclusion to your rebuttal.
42
You might say: Therefore, we think that this argument does not stand.
43
Let's look at an example of a refutation in an actual debate.
44
Let's first hear the argument that we will rebut.
45
to refute We need to listen carefully.
46
Listen to the claim, reasoning and evidence before constructing your rebuttal.
47
Let's look at an argument we have heard before on the topic.
48
Kids should not be allowed to have mobile phones.
49
Ladies and gentlemen, my first argument to support the topic that kids should not be allowed to have mobile phones
50
Mobile phones are bad for kids' eyes.
51
Now, Let me explain the reasons why this is true.
52
First of all, mobile phones have a light called a blue light.
53
That's what allows us to see the screen.
54
If kids look at this light too much, it will hurt their eyes.
55
Mobile phones have so many bright colors and images that are too bright for kids eyes.
56
Secondly, most kids cannot stop looking at their mobile phones.
57
Mobile phones have lots of games and videos that kids like to watch.
58
These games and videos are fun and exciting and kids can't stop watching them.
59
The bright colors and images are very attractive to kids.
60
Third, Sometimes parents and teachers cannot control the mobile phone use.
61
Parents and teachers cannot watch their kids at all times because they're busy.
62
This means that kids can look at their mobile phones all day, which is bad for their eyes.
63
Now!
64
Let me introduce some evidence to support this claim.
65
A new study says that smartphones may ruin your eyesight.
66
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio have found that exposure to blue light The glow emitted from most smartphones,
67
tablets, and laptops promotes the growth of poisonous molecules in your eyes leading to macular degeneration. So!
68
Ladies and gentlemen, We believe that kids should not have mobile phones because they are too harmful to kids' eyes.
69
Now, let's look at an example of the four steps in action.
70
My opponent's first argument was mobile phones are harmful to kids' eyes.
71
They explained that the blue light on the phone, along with the inability of kids to control phone use, will damage their eyes and can even lead to blindness.
72
However, I would like to challenge this argument.
73
I think this argument is flawed for two reasons: 1.
74
It is not true that kids cannot control their use of phones.
75
We believe that parents can control phone use through screen control apps.
76
We also think that kids can control their phone use and
77
that they prefer to play with friends and do things other than look at their phones.
78
So it is just not right that if kids have phones, they will look at them like zombies all day long.
79
2. Even if kids do look at mobile phones a lot, we don't think it will be that bad for kids' eyes.
80
The worst case scenario is that kids have to wear glasses.
81
But we don't believe this is such a big deal.
82
Also, reading a lot of books can hurt kids' eyes too, but we would never say that kids should not be allowed to read.
83
Therefore, we think that the effects of mobile phones on kids' eyes are not a reason kids should not have mobile phones.
84
There, we have seen an example of a rebuttal in action.
85
Once you master the four steps, I will introduce you to more refutation techniques.
86
For now, go ahead and respectfully refute each one of your opponent's arguments.
87
Good luck!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
