• Look at the example.

MARÍA: How can we organize our debate?
ERIC: We can start with how much time we have for the debate in total and then divide it in turns,

DAVID: Yes, let’s do that. I guess half an hour is enough for the whole discussion.
PAULA: I agree. Then we can have five-minute interventions so everyone has the same amount of
time to talk.
MARÍA: Right. So, first the moderator will introduce the topic and the participants.
ERIC: Ok, then we present the first argument in favour of computer music.
DAVID: Then the participants can refute it with their arguments against and so on.
PAULA: Ok, we can take two turns for arguments in favor and two for arguments against. We have
5 minutes left.
MARÍA: Exactly. Those will be for conclusions.
