In todays reading strategy, we are going to learn How to read something about debate.(1) In a debate, one side gets the opportunity to present their points first. The other side follows and presents theirs. In an actual debate, there is often a discussion after both sides have presented their views(2) Speakers in a debate will represent opposite views on the subject being discussed. (3) While reading or listening to a debate, remember that each speakers speech is meant to convince you. Step 6: Discussion1. We have talked so much about the passage. Now it is time to discuss. Talk these questions with your partner. You may use the following conversation as an example.A: My dad says he doesnt mind a little bit of pollution, as long as it means people have jobs. Personally, I agree. What do you think?B: I dont think it has to be a choice. We should be able to have a clean environment and lots of jobs.A: But do you really think that is possible?B: Yes, I do. If companies are careful, they can provide jobs and reduce their pollution. Dont you think that is the best solution?2. As is known t
