Hey folks - think about an interesting story - it could be fictional or a real-life story.

It could be true or false! 

Afterwards, the class can ask questions! 

Then they should guess if your story is true 👍 or false. 

Give your very best and have fun!

Agriculture in the USA

 

 

 

Individual Speech 

You are a student at the University of Graz preparing a lecture about agricultural policy in the United States. Your audience is unfamiliar with American farming, so you provide an 8-10 minute intro. You want to cover: 

 

• What are the most significant agricultural products in the USA, and how are they used? 

• Highlight major differences between Agriculture in the US and in Austria. Give possible explanations for some of these differences. 

• Suggest changes that could make American agriculture more sustainable. 

 

Dialogue You have recently returned from practical training on an organic American farm. When you return, you are excited to talk about your experience with other returning interns and Austrian farmers. In a 4-5 minute dialogue, you discuss: 

 

•  Analyze how agricultural output varies between different regions of the United States. 
  

• Compare organic agriculture & food labelling in the US and Europe. 

• Talk about movements to establish smaller American farms.

Dialogue 

You and a friend are members of your school’s current events club. At the end of the club meeting, you break up into pairs to discuss the recent events in the U.S. Capitol. Make sure to discuss: 

• Why did protesters storm the Capitol building? 

• Do you think President Trump should be removed or resign from office in his last week?
