STEP 3 A DEBATE : DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD VOTE AT AN EARLIER AGE ?AT 16 ?

STEP 4 BUT AT WHAT AGE ? DEBATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS previous lesson on paper

SHOULD WE LOWER THE VOTING AGE ?: THE PROS and CONS

The pros	The cons
not a major difference with someone aged 18  to be involved = to be commited ( impliqué) an arbitrary age  be allowed to drive  be allowed to work  increase the amount of voter turnout = the number of people to vote a civic engagement  be already the case in some countries	lack the maturity the influence of the media  change view easily  be unpredictable  need time to form their own opinion  borrow ( emprunter) from their parents’ or teachers’ ideas  do harm =  do damage

Seconde 4 5 debate

I disagree with this idea because at 16 we are not mature enough to take such an informed decision

I don’t think we should vote at 16 because we do not know enough about politics to take the right decision

I believe we should not vote at such an early age because we usually do not like politics.

I reckon 16 is too young to vote since teenagers are easily influenced by social media and others.

Moreover I beg to differ with this idea as we are not very serios at 16 and yet voting is a very serious and important affair.

You must be jocking.we can’t be voting at 16 since we lack maturity enough.

On the other hand I fully agree with this idea because we young people could change the world and the system. Politicians are too old to do that.
