1
00:00:01,139 --> 00:00:08,140
Okay, this is the second video on speaking, on giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,140
You've got in your book, let me remind you, we are doing Lesson 5b.

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:26,199
And if you have the book and all the materials, you can check the listening.

4
00:00:27,179 --> 00:00:29,280
And here you have the answers.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Okay.

6
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:40,520
For the first part, animals, social media, and here you have the chart that you are asked

7
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,479
to complete on page 83.

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,560
As you can see here, they're giving reasons and examples.

9
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:57,520
Because with Facebook, it's easier to stay in touch, because, because, because.

10
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,000
So let me link this to the second part of this session on giving opinions, agreeing

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,930
and disagreeing.

12
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:14,989
We're going to work on agreeing and disagreeing again.

13
00:01:14,989 --> 00:01:15,989
Yes.

14
00:01:15,989 --> 00:01:24,530
And here are some ways to agree, disagree and show you how can you say something without

15
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:26,750
agreeing or disagreeing.

16
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:27,750
Okay?

17
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:38,510
As always, your tone of voice is important and it can utterly change or completely change the message

18
00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:42,409
if the tone of your voice is wrong.

19
00:01:43,329 --> 00:01:49,950
So, if you disagree with someone, try not to do it in an aggressive way

20
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:54,450
because otherwise you will sound very rude.

21
00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:55,349
Okay?

22
00:01:55,349 --> 00:02:03,629
so this is something we have already seen agreements like I guess so I suppose you're

23
00:02:03,629 --> 00:02:13,270
right when you agree up to a point in parts not completely I agree up to a point but I think

24
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:22,469
you're missing the fact that this situation is different than okay if you want to disagree in

25
00:02:22,469 --> 00:02:29,610
English is very important to be polite and you apologize first for example you

26
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:39,389
say I'm sorry but I don't agree or I'm afraid I cannot go along with that and

27
00:02:39,389 --> 00:02:45,849
when you want to disagree strongly give your opinion of what the other person

28
00:02:45,849 --> 00:02:52,110
has just said and the expression you use will depend on your relationship with

29
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:57,110
with the speaker. For example, you can say, oh, that's completely untrue.

30
00:02:57,110 --> 00:03:11,370
That is not possible. Or if it's blunt, bluntly disagreeing and it's informal and you know the

31
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:25,250
person and it's your friend, you say, oh, rubbish, come off it. OK, so. You know, in some countries,

32
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:28,150
university education is paid for by the state.

33
00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:30,729
I think that's the way it should be, don't you?

34
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:33,389
Up to a point.

35
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:38,389
But many students drop out of university halfway through their course

36
00:03:38,389 --> 00:03:41,770
and that's a complete waste of taxpayers' money.

37
00:03:42,469 --> 00:03:45,889
That may be the case with some, but not the majority of students.

38
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:50,610
Anyway, it isn't anyone's right to go to university, you know.

39
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:51,810
I disagree.

40
00:03:52,689 --> 00:03:54,449
Everyone has a right to further education.

41
00:03:55,050 --> 00:03:57,789
Our whole society benefits from well-educated people.

42
00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:01,270
If nobody went to university, who would do all the hard work?

43
00:04:01,969 --> 00:04:04,330
You can't actually mean that.

44
00:04:04,889 --> 00:04:09,770
Most of the hard-working people in our society didn't go to university.

45
00:04:10,389 --> 00:04:13,050
I'm sorry, I can't agree with you there.

46
00:04:13,050 --> 00:04:15,349
Of course we need people with different skills,

47
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:19,170
but we need doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists too.

48
00:04:19,850 --> 00:04:21,110
I couldn't agree more.

49
00:04:21,569 --> 00:04:24,430
But graduates earn more than non-graduates.

50
00:04:24,449 --> 00:04:26,870
so they should pay for their studies.

51
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:29,730
I'm sorry, I don't think that's right.

52
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:33,329
Not all graduates earn more and there aren't even enough jobs.

53
00:04:33,889 --> 00:04:35,170
Tell me about it.

54
00:04:35,649 --> 00:04:37,850
All the more reason for my argument.

55
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:41,310
I mean, where's the money going to come from?

56
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:43,920
Two.

57
00:04:45,139 --> 00:04:47,439
Boxing is such a dangerous sport.

58
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,160
I think it should be banned.

59
00:04:49,699 --> 00:04:50,680
No way!

60
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,019
It's exciting.

61
00:04:52,019 --> 00:04:55,420
The competitors are very well trained and skilful.

62
00:04:56,019 --> 00:05:00,980
But there have been so many injuries and accidents, even deaths from boxing.

63
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,920
That's true, but accidents happen in all sports.

64
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:11,939
I'd go along with that, but boxing is the only sport where the actual aim is to hurt your opponent.

65
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:15,660
Exactly. That's why there are strict rules.

66
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,939
As long as there are these controls, I think it's as safe as any other sport.

67
00:05:20,939 --> 00:05:25,379
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree there, I'm afraid.

68
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:39,040
Okay so now stop the video or go back and listen again and then we will check the expressions they

69
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:52,100
use. There you have in the first conversation talking about university fees now that we have

70
00:05:52,100 --> 00:06:02,339
worked on education. There you have up to a point that might be the case I disagree. You can actually

71
00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:10,379
mean that or I'm sorry you see you apologize before you say no before you

72
00:06:10,379 --> 00:06:17,120
disagree I can't agree with you there what couldn't agree more you agree I'm

73
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:26,639
sorry I don't think that's right or tell me about it and the second I think you

74
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:32,740
know the opinion I think no way that means it's informal and you know the

75
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:40,860
person you're talking to it's your friend that's true but agreeing I'd go

76
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:49,160
along with that agreeing exactly and when you cannot agree we'll have to

77
00:06:49,160 --> 00:07:02,300
agree to disagree okay so there you have some of these expressions read them and

78
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:11,420
learn them okay and to finish with this today look at these sentences take your

79
00:07:11,420 --> 00:07:21,920
time and produce a linker to express you agree totally you agree in part

80
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:29,540
you disagree strongly or you agree in part. No? Like these that you have here

81
00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:39,660
and the ones you have been listening to. OK? So, stop the video, take your time

82
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:50,850
and do the exercise. And then you will listen to it. OK, let's listen.

83
00:07:50,850 --> 00:07:56,790
1. I'm totally with you on that.

84
00:07:58,129 --> 00:08:02,649
2. But surely it depends on the product.

85
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,610
3. Maybe you've got a point there.

86
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:15,139
4. It's not true that most experiments are done on chimpanzees.

87
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:21,069
OK, and this is the end of this section.

88
00:08:21,769 --> 00:08:27,389
Now you're ready to study and do the task with your partner.

89
00:08:27,829 --> 00:08:28,790
Thank you!
