TIP 
Para participar de um 
debate, você precisa 
apresentar argumentos 
fundamentados não 
apenas na sua opinião, 
mas principalmente 
em pesquisas, artigos 
e/ou opiniões de 
autoridades sobre o 
assunto. Além disso, 
suas fontes precisam 
ser confi áveis e devem 
ser mencionadas para 
dar credibilidade 
ao que você está 
defendendo. E 
lembre-se de que o 
confronto deve ser de 
ideias, ou seja, nunca 
leve um debate para o 
lado pessoal. Respect is 
the name of the game.
a. Get together in small groups. You will have to be either for or 
against that statement.
b. With your group, brainstorm some ideas and do some research 
about the topic.
c. Prepare your arguments for the debate.
3. Do some practice with your group before the debate. The 
following expressions may be useful to you.
