Doctor Gupta:

Today we will discuss an important topic in secondary education: oral (spoken) presentations. In many courses, high school students are required to research a topic and then make an oral presentation about the topic to classmates. Some people believe it is important for students to be able to speak about what they have learned instead of just writing about it, What do you think? Is it a good idea for secondary teachers to assign oral presentations? Why or why not?

Kelly

Most high school students would be happy if their teachers assigned no oral presentations, but I believe it is crucial for students to learn public speaking skills. In being required to speak in front of classmates, students can demonstrate how they are ale to engage with an audience and thus, they will master a critical personal and job skill.

Paul

I think secondary teachers should not require students to make oral presentations. Many people do not really need to develop public speaking skills because most jobs do not require workers to speak before large groups of coworkers. So by giving oral presentations, students may acquire a skill that is not particularly valuable.

论述逻辑：口语表达的作业需要同学们做充足的准备 – 反复演练确表达的准确性和全面性 – 即使借鉴了材料和其他资源，也要内化吸收 – 便于学生们努力学习，分析和组织 – 自我准备的过程就是在自我复习和总结 – 学习效果会更好
