1Teacher: Today we will discuss how to make our school greener. Please take turns to share your ideas. Amy: We should plant more trees in the playground because they give us fresh air. Ben: I agree. Trees also make the school more beautiful. Cara: I see your point, but trees grow slowly. In my opinion, we should start a recycling project first. Teacher: Interesting opinion, Cara. Can you give us an example?
2Cara: Yes. We can collect waste paper and plastic bottles every Friday and sell them for recycling. Ben: Good example. We can also put reminder signs next to the bins. Amy: I disagree with paper signs. We should save paper and make a short video instead. Ben: Sorry, I don't understand. How can a video help? Amy: We can play it in the morning assembly, so everyone learns to recycle.
3Teacher: Good idea. Remember to listen and respect different opinions. Cara: May I add something? We can ask the tuck shop to use fewer plastic bags. Teacher: Excellent. Raise your hand if you agree with the recycling project. Ben: I agree! Let's work together and make our school greener. Teacher: Thank you, everyone. You shared your opinions politely. That is a good discussion.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 表達表達個人意見的基本句式是 I think... because...。例句：I think uniforms are good because they save time. 提示：先說看法，再用 because 給出理由，一句之內立場與根據並備，發言才有分量。
- 同意同意別人時，可以說 I agree. 或 I agree with you.。例句：I agree with Amy. Trees also make the school beautiful. 提示：表示同意之後再補充一點新內容，發言便不止於附和，討論也能延續。
- 反對禮貌反對的句式是 I see your point, but...。例句：I see your point, but recycling is easier to start. 提示：先承接對方的說法，再用 but 帶出不同看法，語氣委婉，不會傷害討論氣氛。
- 禮貌討論禮貌包括輪流發言、不打斷別人、音量適中。例句：Excuse me, can I say something? 提示：想發言時先說 Excuse me 或 Sorry to interrupt；眼睛望着發言者，點頭回應，都是基本的尊重。
- 講原因每次發言都應給出原因，用 because 連接。例句：I think uniforms are good because they save time. 提示：because 之後說出理由；沒有理由的意見像口號，有根據的發言才能說服別人。
- 補充別人講法補充別人的意見時，先認同再加入新內容。例句：I agree with Amy, and I also think we can recycle paper. 提示：先以 I agree with 開頭表示接納，再用 and I also think 延伸，既尊重別人，也展現自己的思考。
