Learn how to describe your opinions on the ways we use and treat animals, and how to persuade others to agree with you.

Who? This class is for Upper-Intermediate members. People say that dogs are man’s best friend – but do we always treat them as such? Humans have taken advantage of their position at the top of the food chain for countless generations to domesticate animals for our own purposes, and also hunt and kill wild animals for food and fun. While different people have different attitudes to how far we can push the boundaries, this emotional subject makes for an interesting discussion! If you want to be able to hold your own and defend the actions of people who you may not agree with, then this is the class for you!

What? In this class we’ll first take a look at the huge variety of ways we use animals – from clothing, to transport, to entertainment. Next, we’ll discuss the merits of the way these animals are treated and whether or not we need we hold the same opinions as others – before trying to sway opinion your way. Finally, we’ll take a look at the different ways animals are used in entertainment, and debate what we should do when people push the boundaries of acceptability too far. Book Now»
