CITY (URBAN) vs RURAL (COUNTRY)

PROJECT: URBAN VS RURAL // CITY vs. VILLAGE

Investigate and find information about a city (urban place) or/and a rural village you would like to know more about. Share with the class the following information.

Using photos tell us:

Why you chose this place
Locations, population, general characteristics, life expectancy, health, education, transport, sustainability, job opportunities, well-being, economic stability, weather, etc
Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living in such a place and why you would or wouldn't live there.
Maybe specify the area where you would live or even the precise house or building and giving reasons why.

Debate

Debate about and try to convince each other that the place you chose is the ideal place to live.

Engage in interaction for at least one minute each.

Use the usual structures that enable debate in a suitable, educated and formal way

What I mean is

let me think for a second

you're right but also...

let's agree to disagree

not in my opinion... (on the contrary)

I see what you mean but...

I get what you are saying

FORMAL:

In my opinion I understand but... I see your point of view

On one hand... but on the other

For one thing, for another...

One must take into account

it is common knowledge that...

I (strongly) agree/disagree with you

One may then come to the conclusion that...

Please accept my apologies

let's agree to disagree

it is widely acknowledged (believed) that...

based on the facts one may come to the conclusion that

not in my opinion... (on the contrary)

I think that's the wrong way to look at it
