The benefits of biodiversity.

21
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:24,229
There are three ways that biodiversity can help people, can benefit people, which are

22
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:30,050
natural resources, environmental processes and human health.

23
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:38,490
it carefully try to understand this because we're going to work on this you

24
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:48,400
will have to develop your own opinion about an issue first you will have to

25
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:59,240
learn about the issue I will post some links and videos on the blog so we you

26
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:08,469
will have to read them and watch them carefully to learn about the issue then

27
00:04:08,469 --> 00:04:13,789
listen to other perspective well we cannot we cannot listen to other

28
00:04:13,789 --> 00:04:20,949
perspective now but you can talk you can have a conversation you can discuss this

29
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:28,250
with your parents if you have the opportunity and finally you will have to

30
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:46,879
decide your opinion. Alright, here the benefits of biodiversity. You will have to

31
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:53,720
decide your opinion about this issue. This is the issue.

32
00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,220
Which benefit of biodiversity is most important for your city?

33
00:05:00,220 --> 00:05:13,379
Bien, llegados aquí, este es el topic, el tema, que vamos a tener que, sobre el que vamos a tener que opinar, que discutir y que aprender.

34
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:24,300
Entonces, la pregunta, como veis, es ¿cuál es el beneficio de la biodiversidad más importante para tu ciudad?

35
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:25,819
En este caso, Madrid.

36
00:05:25,819 --> 00:05:37,680
So, we have to choose among these three benefits, biodiversity benefits, natural resources, environmental and human health.

37
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,699
And then, explain your opinion.

38
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:47,860
Okay, when explaining your opinion, you need to persuade your audience.

39
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:54,420
So, persuade, persuade your audience is convencer a la gente que te escucha.

40
00:05:54,420 --> 00:06:02,540
there are three strategies to persuade explain why people can trust you

41
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:12,420
so use you can use reliable newspaper articles for example

42
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:20,759
to support your opinion this is an example i found a reliable newspaper article that said

43
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:28,139
many cities in the united states have growing rat populations then use fact to support your idea

44
00:06:28,139 --> 00:06:34,540
so for example people in new york city reported they saw 38 percent more rats in

45
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:45,579
2018 than 2014 also rats can spread diseases and give example or tell stories to help people feel

46
00:06:45,579 --> 00:06:52,399
emotions for example I'm worried more people will get sick if there are too

47
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:59,740
many rats in my city so these are three strategies you can use to support your

48
00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:07,180
opinions your ideas then you can have a dialogue a conversation with your

49
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:15,339
parents and here you have useful phrases that you can use when you change your

50
00:07:15,339 --> 00:07:21,540
opinion so for example I agree with your idea or I disagree your idea about

51
00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:27,399
because blah blah blah or what you said about blah blah blah made me change my

52
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:38,639
idea ba about whatever okay after reading the text the articles I'll post

53
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:44,699
on the blog the video and after having conversation or discussion with your

54
00:07:44,699 --> 00:07:52,920
parents the question is did you change your opinion or did your opinion change

55
00:07:52,920 --> 00:08:04,759
at first my opinion was whatever after the dialogue my opinion changed because

56
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:17,000
and my final opinion is blah blah blah okay finally you will have to write a

57
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,879
post to explain your opinion about the most important benefit of biodiversity

58
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:34,100
to protect your city so the question you have to answer in your post is which

59
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:41,679
biodiversity benefit is most important for your city and you here you have the

60
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,419
template

61
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:11,000
porque están cerrados. Ya me lo ha comentado algún alumno que no podía contestar, no podía escribir y esa es la razón.

62
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:15,259
Pero podemos guardar aquí nuestra respuesta como os estoy diciendo.

63
00:09:16,059 --> 00:09:18,139
So, this is the template.

64
00:09:18,139 --> 00:09:29,059
Dear peers, the biodiversity benefit that is most important for our city is blah, blah, blah, natural resources, whatever.

65
00:09:29,059 --> 00:09:38,200
We think this because, and you explain here your opinion, something we can say

66
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:45,399
to persuade people to protect biodiversity in our city is... whatever.

67
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:55,720
Sincerely, and type your name here, and don't forget to save all the

68
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:11,740
before closing the PDF okay be careful with that and that's all for now bye bye
