This book seeks to meet most of the problems posed by the advanced conversation lesson by providing flexible material which can be used for routine drill work.

It consists of thirty essays which argue in favour of a proposition. They are deliberately provocative to spark off a spontaneous debate in the classroom. Each essay has two sets of notes summarising the argument and counterargument.

This book is intended for those who wish to improve their command of spoken English.

The  book covers the following topics:

- It is high time men ceased to regard women as second class citizens
- Television is doing ыirreparable harm
- New fashions in clothing are created solely for the commercial exploitation of women
- We should all grow fat and be happy
- The younger generation knows best
- Parents are too permissive with their children nowadays
- Advertisers perform a useful service to the community
- The only thing people are interested in today is earning more money

and many more.....
