• Provide examples to support your view, examples may be from real life of otherwise
• Try to use these sentences: I don’t agree with you, I agree with your view, let me add to what you just said, why do you think this is the case, friends let me provide you one data, friends let me quote the lines of Gandhi ji
• Friends if you allow me then I want to put forth my point
• Friends you will agree with me that ……
• Let me tell u an incident or story….
• Try to enter min 3 times during discussion
3. Conclusion Structure
The conclusion of GD is the conclusion of entire group and it must contain the points provided by each member. Make sure you have jotted down the important points said by members
• On behalf of everyone, I would like to take the initiation to conclude the discussion
• It was quite a healthy/fruitful/ all members exchanged their viewpoint
• We could reach consensus/ though we could not reach any consensus but important points were discussed
• Discuss some quotes/ viewpoints of your mates which you find quite good, try to mention the points which you have jotted down
• Go for a very neutral ending; as a coin has got two sides, similarly one must look towards the positive sides and try to learn from the negative ones.
• Thankyou
INTRODUCTION
1. Good morning everyone, greetings of the day!
2. The topic of today’s discussion is “Global warming- causes, effects and solutions.”
3. One of the greatest threats of 21st century, is none other than – global warming. Global warming is heating up of earth due to presence of excessive amount of carbon dioxide and other green house emissions on the Earth leading to unpredictable natural disasters.
4. There are multiple causes, reasons of global warming and the major solutions can be discussed one by one.
5. So, now I would request my teammates to give their valuable suggestions and I open the house for discussion.
Causes of global warming:
1. Due to vast emission of green house gases, the temperature of earth is getting severely affected and raising with the passage of time.
2. Deforestation has been the biggest disaster, trees turn as the prime source in absorbing CO2 from the nature, but due to massive cutting of trees, there is less availability of trees and thus less source to absorb carbon dioxide i.e atmosphere traps more of sun’s heat.
3. Even the burning of fossil fuels for several needs such as transportation, has led to increase in share of greenhouse gases.
4. Increase in materialism has led to more production, which requires more energy and thus in return leading to the production of harmful gases; global warming.
5. The vehicles usage has increased at par, and thus paving way to excessive fossil fuel usage which is one of the prime factors of global warming.
Effects of Global warming:
1. Major difference can be witnessed in weather conditions, where winters are getting colder and summers are hotter. Even there has been an increase in natural disasters such as droughts, floods etc.
2. Due to unpredictable circumstances, many people and birds are forced to migrate to other areas.
3. Global warming has also resulted in melting of ice, which leads to increase in sea level. Also,more CO2 in water is affecting the marine life.
4. Even there has been increase in amount of pollutants in air, which is leading to widespread diseases in several people.
Solutions to global warming:
1. Planting more and more trees, can result in creating a balance of carbon dioxide in environment.
2. Prioritizing the usage of solar energy, wind energy as an alternative to burn fossil fuels, it can prevent further increase of greenhouse gases in atmosphere.
3. Sustainable and eco-friendly approach can definitely reverse global warming.
Conclusion:
1. On behalf of everyone, I would like to take the initiation to conclude the discussion
2. It was quite a healthy/fruitful/ discussion where all members exchanged their viewpoints.
3. Discuss some quotes/ viewpoints of your mates which you find quite good, try to mention the points which you have jotted down
4. Thankyou.
