Teachers:Today’s topic is “Should teenagers date”. Team A, please begin.
Team A: We say no, they shouldn’t. One reason is that teenagers are too young. They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying.
Team B: We don’t agree with Team A. Our answeris “Yes”. Teenagers can date if they want. It is quite natural for a teenager at that age to feel he or she likes somebody. We think it's possible for teenagersto date and study at the same time.
