Question: Foreign languages are extremely important to students' education. After taking my first Spanish course, I saw a significant increase in my English grade. As a student in Spanish, I learned how to form verbs and verb phrases in that language. Learning about verbs and verb phrases in a different language gave me a different perspective about the same parts of speech in English. This new knowledge made English class much easier, and I received good grades in both classes last year. Learning foreign languages helps students in many different subjects.
Ian wrote a argumentative speech to convince the school board to adopt more foreign language classes at his school. Do the examples from this part of Ian's speech support his position?
I think your answer is,
- A. No, because they do not give a detailed explanation of the benefits.
I think this is because;
- Yes, he got good grades, but it does not mean it's mandatory.
- He is very close to persuading the audience.
