As you speak, I will offer gentle guidance and help you to phrase your sentences in a natural way. After you finish presenting your ideas, I will present my ideas and then we will each get a chance to counter each other’s ideas in the rebuttal stage.
- Conclusion: We will recap the main points of the debate and talk about areas where you did well and areas where you’d like to improve.
