3. Discussion Based on the thesaurus Dictionary : Noun 1. Discussion - an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic; "the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic"; "his treatment of the race question is badly biased" 2. Discussion - an exchange of views on some topic; "we had a good discussion"; "we had a word or two about it"
4.

5. Introducing category or generic participant, Using thinking verb; feel, hope, believe, etc, Using additive, contrastive, and causal connection; similarly, on the hand, however, etc, Using modalities; must, should, could, may, etc, Using adverbial of manner; deliberately, hopefully, etc. Language Feature of Discussion
6. We can sort our discussions into different types, even if the distinctions seem slightly arbitrary. We can say, generally, that discussions are either task-oriented or group-oriented. Types of Discussion
7. i. Task-oriented or group-oriented? Task-Oriented Group-Oriented In task-oriented discussions, the group is faced with a problem to be solved, a task to be achieved, an issue to be faced or a subject to be learned. A task-oriented discussion is usually directive or non-directive. In a directive discussion, the leader takes a very strong role in moving the group toward a goal, overcoming obstacles and disagreements, keeping to a schedule, coming to a "right conclusion." In a non-directive discussion, he or she facilitates a group to approach the issue more independently and arrive at its own conclusions. In a group-oriented discussion, the group is largely concerned with itself and its own dynamic, in contrast to the discussion of a specific theme. In order for a group discussion to be successful, it is important for all members to know how to discuss a topic. The first thing that the group will need to have is a goal. The goal can be simple, or it can be complex.
8. ii. Long-term or short-term Discussions are also either long-term or short-term. That, as much as whether they are group- or task-oriented, dictates how you approach a subject: You will obviously handle the Holocaust, in a series of five meetings, differently than if you had only one meeting to discuss it. Your group will not feel comfortable about sharing the very personal experience of exploring Jewish identity in one two-hour meeting, so what can you even do with the subject in that limited time? A short-term discussion, for example, almost precludes the possibility of approaching the question of anti-Israel propaganda or Antisemitism in any but an informational manner.
10. Example #1 Homework Issue I have been wondering if homework is necessary. Statement of issue and Preview I think we should have homework because it helps us to learn and revise our work. Homework helps people who aren’t very smart to remember what they have learned. Homework is really good because it helps with our education.Statement of various viewpoints But, many times, doing homework is not a great idea. I think we shouldn’t have homework because I like to go out after school to a restaurant or the movies. Sometimes homework is boring and not important. I think homework is bad because I like to play and discuss things with my family
11. Example #2 The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear PowerNuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956. Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow: • It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.• It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.• It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.• It produces small amount of waste.• It is reliable.
12. On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident. People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world.
