What to do⏱ 5–10 min
Objective
Acknowledge both sides, then state a clear lean.
Steps
- Read the explanation and the weak vs improved example.
- Complete the short task in your own words (3–5 sentences unless stated).
Balanced but clear
⏱ ~8 min · Speaking
Prompt style: “Should governments limit air travel?”
Weak: “Both have advantages and disadvantages.” (Stops.)
Improved: “On one hand, limits reduce emissions; on the other, they hurt tourism — personally I’d tax rather than ban.”
Reflection
- Speak 35–45 seconds on: “Should universities be free?” Give <strong>one</strong> point each side, then <strong>your</strong> lean.
Self-check
- You addressed only this one problem.
- You produced a new example, not copied text.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sitting on the fence with no lean.
- Attacking the other side without acknowledging it.
