Érvelni tudni kell! Tucatnyi élethelyzetben villantjuk meg érveinket a való életben vagy éppen a C1-es Speaking vizsgarész egyéni változatának Perspectives c. záró feladatában.
Kapsz 3 idézetet egy adott témával kapcsolatban (pl. climate, urban transport, social media, tourism stb.), és az alábbi utasítást:
„Which of the following quotations do you agree with? Give your reasons.”.
Vagyis a háromból idézetből egyet kiválasztasz, és 1 percnyi – jegyzetelés nélküli – gondolkodás után megindoklod, hogy miért arra esett a választásod. Ilyen célirányosan kiválasztott hármas idézetcsoportokat nehéz találni – talán a ChatGPT segít, ha ügyesen kérdezed, utasítod.
De mivel a vizsgán mindig csak egy idézettel kapcsolatban kell érvelned, a gyakorláshoz, érvelési készséged fejlesztéséhez elég egyszerre egy idézet. Ehhez kapsz két tucatot (mindegyikhez a témát is), és hajrá! Egy perc gondolkodás, 3 perc okoskodás 😉
