Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

The motion is that this house believes that computers are better than books.

On the proposition team is Yasmin, Nadia and Rosie.

On the opposition is Saleh, Katya and Nadine.

The first proposition speaker will be Yasmin.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

Today's motion that we are proposing is that computers are better than books.

I will explain that computers are multitask and also that a computer can hold more information than a whole library.

My partner Nadja will explain that iPads are computers and that computers last longer than books.

What we mean by this motion is that computers have much more value and quality than books,

money-wise and information-wise.

My first point is that computers can multitask.

On computer, you can play games,

you can entertain yourself and you can revise education-wise and watch films.

Accepted.

But some information is not even true, like in answer.com.

Some of them could be even opinions.

And that might mean not true.

However, some information, for example,

say Wikipedia, can hold accurate information.

Moving on, computers can help boost minds and can be used for all ages.

My second point is that a computer can hold more information than a whole library.

A computer can search a variety of subjects.

A computer has a brain and can contain a wide variety of information and important facts.

Also, information can just be a click away.

In conclusion, a majority of people worldwide believe that computers are entertaining and extremely useful,

which is why they are better than books.

Thank you and vote for us.

The first opposition is going to be Saleh.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Saleh and my three points are hackers and security,

unreliable and health issues.

My first point is hackers and security.

Computers cause a a lot of crimes

because especially theft lots of people have been hacking computer systems

because lots of people on the does online shopping

which means the hackers could get the credit card details and

which means the police can't find them from

if they got a really good source my second point is

unreliable information lots of people go on computers to ask a question but then again

have you thought about they always give bad answer such as my friend he got an exam and he did

got answers from the computer and his test result was 10 out of 100 what does that tell you

my first point is health issues

your your your friend should have should have known

that um this the answers would have been and why was he cheating in the first place?

But that's not what I'm saying.

The computers don't give unreliable information,

which means what if people need help for the GCSEs?

How can they do it?

As I was saying, my third point is health issues.

Lots of people spend their time on computers,

which means their hands could get sore.

And once some guy, he was going on the computer

so many days and his hand was crippled and he couldn't write anything.

Every time when he tried to write,

the pencil just keeps coming off.

Thank you for listening to me and I hope you vote for us.

The second opposition speaker is going to be Nadia.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

My name is Nadia, and today's motion is computers are better than books.

My partner, Yasmin, has already explained about multitasking and computers have more information than books.

I will be explaining iPads or computers and parental guidance.

The first opposition speaker said about hackers.

The police will find out what site the person has gone on and would locate the address and soon find out.

Also, you explained about health issues.

Your friend should have not been on that long.

His parents should have told him that he shouldn't be on that long.

Now on to my reasons.

My third reason is iPads are like computers.

iPads are the new latest things.

You can have many different apps on them.

Also, you can get education games and apps.

Also, there's an app accepted.

iPads are Norway as computers.

Computers have a keyboard and iPads are tablets.

Tablets are way different because they have apps.

And they play your touch screen and that.

Computers are not touch screen.

I don't see a computer having touch screen and that.

So how could an iPad be a computer?

Well, they're slightly different but you can get the same apps that a computer has,

like Internet Explorer.

Moving on back to my reasons.

Also there's an app called iBooks,

which the But picture books can come alive and move about,

so it will be more interesting for young children.

My second reason is parental guidance.

Parents can check on history,

what their child has been on.

But in books, the child can easily hide the inappropriate books they've been reading.

And the parent can block inappropriate sites.

Thank you for listening and vote for us.

The opposition's second speaker is Katia.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

My name is Katia and this motion is that computers are better than books.

My first point is that books are more trustworthy.

For Wikipedia for example, anybody could just put some information on it and contribute.

However, for a book, if you wanted to write a book of dinosaurs,

who would it be?

Just any person writing about dinosaurs or an expert.

100

I'm sure you could answer that out.

101

Also, when you're reading books,

102

it could give you the right information.

103

For example, once I looked on the computer

104

and I tried to find some information

105

and then after I looked it up on a book and they had similar reasons, however...

106

Accepted.

107

However, there are some suitable and trustworthy sites such as revision sites,

108

for example bite-size, and that can help with revision.

109

However, most of the information that goes onto the computer are from books.

110

My second point is about libraries.

111

Some people may say, oh it takes ages to find a book in the library.

112

However it doesn't because libraries are usually split up into fiction and non-fiction and are in alphabetical order.

113

So if you wanted to find a revision book,

114

for example, and you need the name of the revision book,

115

you could go to non-fiction and then you could look it up in the alphabetical order and you would find your...

116

Rejected.

117

And you would find your website and you would find your information more easily.

118

My final point is that books are better for your imagination.

119

For example, if you wanted to be an artist,

120

artists can't always be on the computer.

121

For example, they might say,

122

oh, I can see this picture,

123

so I'm just going to add a few bits here and a few bits there.

124

But they can't because it wouldn't be that unique.

125

However, if you went on a book and you read it and then after you're like,

126

oh, I'm going make a picture about it because my imagination tells me

127

that I should put some swirly lines here and there.

128

Then that means it would be very unique.

129

Thank you for listening to me and I hope you vote for us.

130

Now it's time for the floor debate.

131

Is there any questions?

132

The second opposition said that it's easy to find books in the library,

133

but sometimes the person in the library says the book is finished,

134

but when you go on the internet they don't say you can't find the information because it's finished or anything.

135

You can go and they'll tell you the information

136

when you go into Wikipedia or any other website that tells you the information.

137

Some people say that computers can break,

138

like, can hurt your eyes,

139

but people can go to the shops or something like that and buy,

140

like, a screen that protects your eyes.

141

And the second speaker on the opposition said some people can say

142

that books take too long to find but

143

and maybe the book isn't there and maybe the person is looking all around

144

and what if they couldn't find it so and maybe there isn't anybody working there like telling you what you should find.

145

This is for the proposition.

146

In addition to the opposition's reasons books are better than computers

147

because when you read a book you can emphasise with the character

148

because when was the last time you feel emotional watching YouTube

149

is there any more questions I agree with the proposition side

150

because if you like rip a book you can't see um

151

and then after you sell it a bit you can't really read though

152

and what now the opposition summary speaker is Nadine thank you for Thank you for the questions.

153

Now I want to first thank my two colleagues Sally and Katia.

154

I want to answer some questions.

155

One of the questions was that in the library

156

if they ran out of books that's tough luck

157

but you can still find another book that could be similar and as well they said that you could buy a

158

protective eye screen and but what if you can't afford it

159

and maybe there's no such a thing as that and that's what I'm doing some rebuttals.

160

Computers are mostly made up by books and when they try

161

and fit in some information they only take like one part

162

but maybe there's a part that's that's really important but they missed

163

that out that's why sometimes it's not true as well now

164

I want to just summarize my team's points now our self

165

sellers his first point was security issues one person one one child

166

and she was 14 and she died just about Facebook she was giving out personal information

167

and she got murdered and so there's uneniable things and

168

and different things they don't tell the truth and

169

so health issues people when they are when they use too much computer

170

and they they get really aggressive

171

and they could punch somebody in the face really badly now

172

I want to go to a carriers points the first one

173

is what books trustworthy books are more they're more true it has more truth in the books than in computers

174

and so imagination when you read

175

when you have a picture in front you don't have enough imagination

176

but when you read the book and

177

when it's no pictures you have imagination they feel like you're dead and the Zoya library.

178

Why did it library?

179

To get books and books are like mostly one of the most important things in our life

180

because we need to learn how to read by book we need to then

181

and so if you read books you learn how to write you improve your writing.

182

Thank you for listening to me I hope you vote for us.

183

The summary speaker for the proposition is Rosie.

184

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

185

I'm Rosie.

186

And the motion we are proposing today is Computers are Better Than Books.

187

A speaker from the floor said that you can buy a screen that protects eyes.

188

I agree, despite the fact that people shouldn't need a screen,

189

they shouldn't be on a computer for that long that it hurts them.

190

Another speaker said that you can't find a book in a library.

191

Yes, but that's exactly why computers are needed to use research,

192

because otherwise you won't be able to find out useful information for your homework.

193

Another speaker from the floor said that you can't empathise with the internet.

194

But can't you empathise with people who live with you or who people are at school who are close to you?

195

Our team's main reasons for being in favour of information are multitasking.

196

You can open several pages at once,

197

which means that you can take in different streams of information at the same time.

198

Our second point was that a computer holds more information than an entire library.

199

Think of how much space you're saving with one computer than having a big room full of books.

200

Our third point was iPads.

201

They're the latest things.

202

And you can buy all sorts of books on an iPad.

203

And some of them are even cheaper or free.

204

Our fourth point was parental guidance.

205

And that you can block sites and you can check what your child's been on.

206

This say this you can't do that with a book so imagine what your child would be reading

207

The reason the other team's reasons were hackers and security

208

Security software can be brought installed plus police can follow energy traces and arrest the hacker their second point was and reliable.

209

That's because of people joking.

210

If you want information that's reliable,

211

then you should find a reliable site.

212

Thank you for listening, voters.

213

Now it's time for the vote.

214

Who votes for the opposition?

215

Who votes for the opposition?

216

and the proposition is one.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
