This term, we've been learning about an argument text and we've been learning about the beach and sea. So, we're going to revise some of the important words that we've have learnt for our genre this term. So, let's have a look at the top. Can you tell me, what is the first word up here?
Should.
Should, what does should mean?
It means yes.
Yes, you should do it. How about the second one?
(Together) Shouldn't.
What does that mean?
It means don't do it.
Don't do it.
That you don't agree. Okay. And the second part is, we thought about saying what we believe. Okay.
(Together) Yeah.
So, let's have a look at the second part here.
Okay.
What's that say?
I believe.
I believe.
I believe. So remember, the first part is we have to say what we believe. Because remember, we are convincing someone to believe the same as us. Okay. Ohan, what's the first word we need to use when we're saying the first argument?
Firstly.
Firstly. Very good. And Amir, what's the second one that we use?
Secondly.
Secondly. And what's the last one, Ohan?
Finally.
Okay. So remember, we have to use evidence to say why we believe something. What are the important words to tell us why?
Should...
Because and so.
Because, so.
So and because. Well done. So Ohan, do you know how to swim?
No.
No. Can you tell me why you don't know how to swim?
Because, I scared.
You are scared. Do people, is there a beach in Iraq?
Yeah.
Yeah, you live close to the beach?
No.
No. Did we go swimming this year?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Can you tell me about that, Ohan? Where did we go?
On the swimming pool.
Do you remember where it was?
In Sunshine.
In Sunshine. And what sort of things did you learn?
We learn how to swim.
But what, can you remember some of the things the teacher told you? What do you have to do with your legs?
Splash.
How about getting into the water safely?
We go slowly in the water.
Our question in our class is, should children learn how to swim? So I'm going to ask you first, Ohan. What do you believe?
I believe children should learn how to swim.
Can you tell me why children should learn to swim? What is one reason?
If you don't know how to swim, you will drown.
Let's have a look at it at the second reason. Why is it good exercise, Ohan?
Because you are moving your body.
Yeah. And what might happen to your body?
Your body will not get fat.
What is the last reason, Ohan?
If you know how to swim, you can have fun with your friends and family.
Now that we've gone through the structure of an argument, do you think you could have a go by yourself? You can have a look up here for some of the important words. Could you tell me, why should children learn how to swim?
Firstly, children should learn how to swim, because it is dangerous if you don't know how to swim.
And…
And secondly, your body will be stronger. And finally, you can have fun with your friends and family.
