Hello everyone, Argument Alice here.
2
Today I'm going to train you in a crucial part of building arguments.
3
Rebuilding arguments.
4
We have learned from Rebuttal Rosie that every speaker, after the first speaker, must provide a rebuttal to the arguments of the previous speaker.
5
I have told you that building an argument is like building a house.
6
Rosie teaches us that a rebuttal is like tearing down or deconstructing the house of your opponents.
7
When your opponents tear down your team's arguments,
8
you need to rebuild these arguments in the next speech. from attack.
9
In some ways, rebuilding arguments is like a rebuttal to the rebuttal of your opponents.
10
There are a few things to keep in mind when rebuilding our arguments.
11
Let's look at the key steps we need to take when rebuilding arguments.
12
Step 1: Let the audience know that you will begin to rebuild your partner's argument.
13
As always, Structure Sam reminds us to clearly signpost the
14
We should make it clear in our introduction that we will rebuild our partner's argument later in the speech.
15
When we get to that part in our speech, we should clearly let the audience know that we will rebuild.
16
Step 2.
17
Briefly summarize the argument of your partner and explain why it is so important.
18
In this step, we make sure to restate the main claim of our argument.
19
Step 3.
20
Briefly summarize the rebuttal of your opponent to this argument.
21
your team's argument.
22
Here you can restate the reasoning provided by your partner, you can restate the evidence and examples provided by your partner,
23
you can also offer new reasoning and evidence.
24
Step 5: Conclude the rebuilding.
25
Make it clear that you have finished this part of your speech, and you will now move on to the next section.
26
Let's take a look at these five steps in an actual debate.
27
We will first hear an example of an argument.
28
Then we will listen to an example of a rebuttal to that argument.
29
Finally, we will see an example of how to rebuild the argument.
30
Listen carefully to the original argument.
31
Ladies and gentlemen, my first argument to support the topic
32
that kids should not be allowed to have mobile phones is: mobile phones are bad for kids eyes.
33
Now, Let me explain the reasons why this is true.
34
First of all, Mobile phones have a light called a blue light.
35
That's what allows us to see the screen.
36
If kids look at this light too much, it will hurt their eyes.
37
Mobile phones have so many bright colors and images that are too bright for kids eyes.
38
Secondly, most kids cannot stop looking at their mobile phones.
39
Mobile phones have lots of games and videos that kids like to watch.
40
These games and videos are fun and exciting and kids can't stop watching them.
41
The bright colors and images are very attractive to kids.
42
Third, sometimes parents and teachers cannot control the mobile phone use.
43
Parents and teachers cannot watch their kids at all times because they're busy.
44
This means that kids can look at their mobile phones all day, which is bad for their eyes.
45
introduced some evidence to support this claim.
46
A new study says that smartphones may ruin your eyesight.
47
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio have found that exposure to blue light, the glow emitted from most smartphones,
48
tablets, and laptops, promotes the growth of poisonous molecules in your eyes, leading to macular degeneration.
49
So, Ladies and gentlemen, we believe that kids should not have mobile phones because they are too harmful to kids' eyes.
50
Now, listen carefully to the rebuttal.
51
My opponent's first argument was mobile phones are harmful to kids' eyes.
52
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.
53
However, I would like to challenge this argument.
54
I think this argument is flawed for two reasons.
55
One, it is not true that kids cannot control their use of phones.
56
We believe that parents can control phone use through screen control apps.
57
We also think that kids can control their phone use and
58
that they prefer to play with friends and do things other than look at their phones.
59
So it is just not right that if kids have phones, they will look at them like zombies all day long.
60
2. Even if kids do look at mobile phones a lot, we don't think it will be that bad for kids' eyes.
61
The worst case scenario is that kids have to wear glasses, but we don't believe this is such a big deal.
62
Also, reading a lot of books can hurt kids' eyes too, but we would never say that kids should not be allowed to read.
63
Therefore, we think that the effects of mobile phones on kids' eyes are not a reason kids should not have mobile phones.
64
Now we can see an example of how to rebuild the original argument.
65
you I will now rebuild our team's argument.
66
In our team's first argument, my partner explained to you that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes.
67
My opponent has attempted to rebut this argument by saying that parents can control the mobile phone use of their kids.
68
They have also explained that kids can manage their own mobile phone use
69
and that the impact on kids' eyes is not so bad.
70
However, this rebuttal is not enough to defeat our argument.
71
My partner clearly explained that mobile phones are addictive.
72
He explained that the phones are designed to be addictive.
73
My opponents have said that kids and parents can control themselves.
74
The bright images, sounds, and videos are addictive to kids.
75
If it is true that phones are addictive, it isn't easy for kids and parents to control.
76
Even if some kids and parents can monitor their phone use, many kids cannot.
77
So it is best to not allow them to have phones.
78
Therefore, our team's first argument still stands.
79
Sometimes, your opponent will not provide a rebuttal to one of your team's arguments In this case, it is imperative to point this out to the judge.
80
You can say: Ladies and gentlemen, my partner explained to you that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes and that eyes are critical.
81
We have heard absolutely no response to this argument, which means that my opponents accept the argument to be true.
82
Remember, the debate is a team activity.
83
You should always support your partner's arguments and defend them from attack.
84
At the end of the debate, you want all of your team's arguments standing strong.
85
Now go out there and rebuild!
86
Thank you.
87

Consigli per la pratica

Per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese, ti suggeriamo di impegnarti in attività di shadow speak, seguendo attentamente il ritmo e il tono del discorso originale presente nel video. Questo metodo di shadowing ti permette di assimilare non solo le parole, ma anche la modulazione della voce e le pause che i relatori utilizzano. Fai attenzione alla velocità; inizia lentamente se necessario e aumenta gradualmente il ritmo man mano che ti senti più sicuro. Ricorda, la chiave per un shadow speech efficace è ripetere ogni frase e cercare di imitare il modo in cui viene pronunciata. Inoltre, fai delle pause quando i relatori fanno una pausa, per permettere al tuo cervello di assimilare le informazioni. Utilizzare un shadowspeaks come metodo di pratica ti permetterà di interiorizzare le tecniche di rielaborazione degli argomenti trattati in questa lezione. Non dimenticare di ripetere le frasi che più ti colpiscono per rinforzare il tuo apprendimento.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
