Hello everyone, my name is Comparison Connie
6
and I am here to train you in one of the most crucial debate skills: comparison.
7
The first step in your training is to understand impacts.
8
When you become debate superheroes, you will spend most of your time comparing impacts.
9
For now, let's learn what an impact is and how you can impact your arguments.
10
The verb impact means to explain why your arguments are important and significant.
11
You might say, "I will now impact this argument." The noun impact is the significance or importance of your arguments.
12
You might say, "The impact of our argument is..." You learned from Argument Alice that every argument must have a claim,
13
reasoning, and evidence it is also essential to have an impact.
14
The impact is what allows you to compare your arguments to your opponent's argument.
15
If the judge believes that both arguments are true,
16
she will need to be able to determine which argument is more important or which has a more significant impact.
17
The impact is a simple statement of why your argument is so important.
18
Why is the problem so serious?
19
How badly are people affected?
20
Which is worse?
21
A bug bite or a lion bite?
22
You probably think that a lion bite is much worse than a bug bite.
23
The impact of a bug bite is irritation, redness, and in extreme cases, sickness or death.
24
The impact of a lion bite is probably death.
25
If not, we might lose an arm or leg or have a chunk of our body bitten off.
26
In the best -case scenario, we lose a lot of blood.
27
In the worst -case scenario, we lose our life.
28
So, we can say the impact of a lion bite is much worse than the impact of a bug bite.
29
Let's look at how impacts work in debate on the topic.
30
Mobile phones should be banned in schools.
31
The important thing is to keep asking ourselves, "Why is this so bad?" The pro team might argue
32
that mobile phones will distract students from their studies
33
because students will play games and watch videos instead of focusing on their lessons.
34
What is the impact of students being distracted from their studies?
35
If students are distracted from their studies, they are not learning well and getting good grades.
36
Getting good grades is important for our future because we need good grades to get into an excellent high school and university.
37
Getting into an outstanding high school and university is necessary to get the knowledge
38
and skills we need to get a good job and be successful.
39
Having a good and meaningful job is essential to having a happy and fulfilling life.
40
Happiness is the most important thing.
41
Without joy, life is not worth living.
42
When we keep asking ourselves why this is so important, we arrive at a significant argument that impacts our entire life and future.
43
Let's look at an example of what an impact looks like in an actual debate.
44
Let's first go back to impact.
45
Ladies and gentlemen, my first argument to support the topic
46
that kids should not be allowed to have mobile phones is: mobile phones are bad for kids' eyes.
47
Now let me explain the reasons why this is true.
48
First of all, mobile phones have a light called a blue light.
49
That's what allows us to see the screen.
50
If kids look at this light too much, it will hurt their eyes.
51
Mobile phones have so many bright colors and images that are too bright for kids' eyes.
52
Secondly, most kids cannot stop looking at their mobile phones.
53
Mobile phones have lots of games and videos that kids like to watch.
54
These games and videos are fun and exciting and kids can't stop watching them.
55
The bright colors and images are very attractive to kids.
56
Third, sometimes parents and teachers cannot control the mobile phone use.
57
Parents and teachers cannot watch their kids at all times because they're busy.
58
This means that kids can look at their mobile phones all day which is bad for their eyes.
59
Now, let me introduce some evidence to support this claim.
60
A new study says that smartphones may ruin your eyesight.
61
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio have found that exposure to blue light, the glow emitted from most smartphones,
62
tablets, and laptops, promotes the growth of poisonous molecules in your eyes, leading to macular degeneration.
63
Now, why is this so important?
64
The impact of this argument cannot be understated.
65
We rely on our eyes so much in this world.
66
us to access books, films, enjoy photographs, and witness the beauty of the world.
67
Eyes are important for being able to move around society freely and safely.
68
Without healthy eyes, we lose the ability to learn so many things and we lose important freedom in society.
69
We should not do anything that is harmful to kids' eyes.
70
In this impact, the speaker not only explained that mobile phones would hurt
71
He used phrases such as "Why is this so important?" "The impact of this argument is…"
72
This is exactly what you can do in your debates.
73
Now you know how to impact your arguments.
74
Remember, you must not only explain your arguments, you must explain why your arguments are so important.
75
Good luck!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
