Solo talk

In case you're struggling to find opinion pieces to discuss in your solo talk, I have picked out the following.

Click here for the Guardian website's opinion pages,
or try this one for The Times,
or here for The Scotsman,
or this, the Sunday Herald's opinion pages.
For a slightly lighter approach, try the Record online, or the newspaper opinion.

Remember, you're finding a piece about something that you find interesting. In the talk, you will have to:
  • Summarise the writer's viewpoint
  • Say whether you agree or disagree with the writer
  • Explain why, in some detail.
You will need to look into the issue in some detail, but remember that you are not supposed to be giving us lots of facts, but explaining the reasons for your point of view.

Any questions, please ask.
