Step 1 recap HOW DO YOU say :

A mon avis ……………….

Je suis d’accord…………………

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

 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

 

The topic of the debate is to find out if youngsters have the right to vote at 16 and under.

I reckon we should not because they are usually influenced especially by social media 

I agree i would like to add that people are not enough interested in politics

I side with you because it is essential to participate in the political process

to my mind  It is our responsibility to vote and express our views.

I disagree young people are affected by these decisions so they should have the right to express their views 

to my mind youngsters Lack maturity

in my opinion we should vote because they are   eligible  for Citizenship so they should be allowed to vote

I believe young people should vote because  politicians don’t pay attention to them and so they would pay more attention 

I disagree with you because we are Already mature enough to do a lot of things so why not voting.

We need to have our say in the matter

I don't see eye to eye with you because i reckon we are Not mature enough to take such decisions

I hold we are  Intelligent enough to understand politics

I disagree .I believe we should vote because it prepares us  for adult life

Nonsense 16 is Such  an early age

I could not agree with you because we should have a voice in the matter 

I beg to differ because we are not  knowledgeable enough 

Some countries are ready to do it so why not france.
