Are you a multitasker? Why or why not?

Do you think your attention span is better or worse than it was a few years ago? What might explain the difference?

Speaking practice: take a stance
Reading Page 11
readtheory.org
“You should be allowed to vote from the age of 16.”
“Being rich is more important than having a job you love.”
“Parents should have the right to know where their 16-year-old is at all times.”
“Celebrities and influencers have a responsibility to be good role models.”
“It is acceptable to end a friendship because you strongly disagree with someone’s beliefs.”
Take a stance on two of the issues below.
OPINION → REASON → EXAMPLE → COUNTERARGUMENT → RESPONSE
Personally, I believe that people should be allowed to vote from the age of 16. The main reason I feel this way is that many political decisions directly affect teenagers. For example, decisions about climate change or public transport will have consequences for young people for decades. Admittedly, some 16-year-olds may not know much about politics. However, the same could be said of some adult voters, so I do not think this is a convincing reason to deny them the right to vote.
