The Amber Room and some gold are buried in the mine. Step III

read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly. Do you think it is a fact or an opinion? I think it is an opinion because Jan Hasek did not see what was in the boxes. He listened to other people’s ideas of what might have been inside. So his evidence is an opinion.

Tips for an informal class debate There must be a question with two possible answers.

There must be a chairperson. There must be two sides in the class: “for” or “against” the question.

Each side takes turn to debate and gives reasons for their opinion. At the end there should be a class vote. The chairperson says which side wins and why. Task 3 Writing :

How to write a debate report After the debate, please reply a letter to Johann. You should tell him the reasons of both sides– for and against, and also the result of the debate or your own idea.

Debate whether it is right to keep what one has found without trying to find the rightful (合法的）owner. Para1：

State the question. What to do with the cultural relics someone has found. whether it is right to keep the cultural relics one has found Para2: Give the ideas that agree with the question and the reasons. Reason 1: Reason 2: …

Para3: Give the ideas that disagree with the question and the reasons. Para4: Give your opinion and the result of the class vote. Dear Johann,

Our class

have had a debate and discussed whether it is right for whoever finds valuable cultural relics to keep them. (the question of the debate)

Those who agree that if you find cultural relics you can keep them have three reasons. Firstly, they say that time and money have been spent looking for them so the finders deserve them. Secondly, they believe nobody will look for lost relics if they could keep them. Besides, there are so many old relics that it does not matter if one or two belong to those who find them. (the ideas that support the question with reasons) On the other hand, some students

disagree with the idea. They think all cultural relics are valuable for finding out about the past. What’s more, it is dishonest to take things that do not belong to you. More importantly, every cultural relic belongs to the country and not any one person. (the ideas that disagree with the question with reasons)

We have had a class vote. Those who disagree with the question win. The debate have changed the minds of some people who originally supported your ideas. ( the result of the class vote) Yours,
