5 Speaking Game: Let’s Guess the Argument.

How to Speak at Length

To help talking lengthily when presenting arguments with evidence, use the

following strategy.

P.E.E. L (Point – Explain – Example – Link)

This is the easiest and most structured way to help students expand a short answer into a longer,
organized response.

Example Prompt: Should school uniforms be required?

Response Using PEEL:

✓ Point: " I believe that school uniforms should be required".

✓ Explain: “According to a survey by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES),

75% of students felt more connected to their school when wearing uniform” .

✓ Example: "For example, in my school, after the implementation of uniform at school,
students are more focused on studies."

✓ Link: "Despite some criticisms, uniforms create a more equal and focused learning
environment."

Why it works: It’s simple to remember, builds confidence, and keeps students from freezing
mid-sentence.
