Sample answers:

Step Ⅲ Speaking task T:Just now, we learned how to organize a debate, now it’s our turn to continue the debate. The topic of our debate is “should we clone?” Now choose the team you agree with. Divide the whole class into four groups, two agree and two disagree. T: To begin this debate, I will give you some information about clone. You can choose what you need. During the speech, you can make notes so that you do not forget what you want to say. In our debate the person who speaks last must summarize your ideas. Here are some tips for you. Show the following. Center on the subject of the debate. Organize main ideas that support your point of view. List your own ideas. Make a conclusion. Ask the students to read the following information Show the following. Why should we use cloning? Give students 10 minutes to prepare, everyone finds their roles in the debate. As a chairperson, the teacher is in charge of the debate. Ask the students to do as follows: First leading speaker gives an argument. Then others give speech freely. Last the fourth speaker gives a summary. Chairperson: From our debate, we really can learn much. All of you have performed well. Whether can we clone? This is a long term argument. To me, if people can use this method properly, it’s really useful, but if we use it in other ways, it can bring us disaster. Sample notes: arguments for cloning 1)

Cloning will be beneficial to humans. For example, if a couple can’t have children, cloning could help give them a child; 2)

we could use cloning to cure illnesses. arguments against cloning 1) health risks from mutation of genes; 2) emotional risks; 3) risk of abuse of the technology; 4) against nature;

5) cloned animals get ill and die quite young; 6) people are afraid of that scientists will create thousands of copies of the same person; 7) Cloning is dangerous because scientists my create monsters by mistake. Step IV Conclusion Step
