Inventions: the debate (just a test)

Here are the videos we've recorded today. Please listen carefully to what is being said. You'll find out that there are many things you have missed from your previously written arguments. Also pay attention to the body language: your stance, the movements of your hands, your faces... Everything counts!

Me and Elena will add more comments to these videos.

Enjoy!
