Hi students!!!!
Today, we are going to improve our speaking skill.
First, look at the picture below and answer the following questions!
1. What do you see on the picture above?
2. Who is he?
3. What does he wear?
Well, students, I think after answering the questions above, now you know what we are going to discuss. Today, we are going to discuss about THE CONTROVERSY OF UNIFORM.
The text about the controversy of uniform belongs to DISCUSSION TEXT.
Before going further into our focus today, that is speaking skill, it is better to know what DISCUSSION TEXT is. Click here to learn more about DISCUSSION TEXT : DISCUSSION TEXT

Excellent!
The next step we are going to do is exchanging pairs. Each of member of your group should be exchanged to other group and present the result of the discussions.
The result of the discussion should be in the right generic structure of discussion text (ISSUE, ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST, CONCLUSION)
Give suggestions to your friends’ result of discussion.
After exchanging pairs, now, each group may present the result of the discussion in front of the classroom.
