Here you have some tips to design your youtube video ARGUING FOR AND AGAINST THINGS. It’s group work, so take into account that you’ll have to create a dialogue.

1. Make sure you understand how to form the PASSIVE VOICE.

It is said that… (present passive); new ways energy will be created in ten years (future passive) and some goods were made by people working in bad conditions.

2. You can listen to the audio below  to get ideas for your dialogue.
