Pontyclun or Paris?


Following our research using reference books, group discussions (Communication Skills) and the internet (I.T.Skills), we had a debate as to which was the better place to live, Paris or Pontyclun.



We began the debate in our groups. No one knew which city/village they would finally be representing in the class debate, so everyone had to listen to each other's arguments carefully.







Many issues were hotly contested.
