Vocabulary for debates




You could improve your speech at debate using some connectives. We´ll try to help with some examples:
  1. To add information: and, also, in addition, besides, not only ..... but also....
  2. To show contrast: but, however, although, on the other hand, in contrast
  3. To express reason: because, since, due to, that is why
  4. To express result: for example, such as, for instance.
You have more examples in the classroom chart......
Your task: use the connectives and write, at least, 5 examples.

  3. Welldone, Noelia. Even though you should revise some sentences:
    nr. 3: "the other hand" is used to give another argument, not only information but explanation or reason......
    nr. 4: "me" can´t be a subject. You must use "I". You´d better say: "My brother and I". On the other hand, I don´t understand very well the sense of that sentence.....
    nr.5: you sould include the words "each other".
    Was this information useful?
