- Easily discuss the pros and cons of a difficult decision or a policy in English
In English we say it’s important ’to weigh the pros and cons’ to make the best decision. In this lesson, you’ll add advanced-level vocabulary to your English with a list of synonyms for the words ‘pro’ and ‘con.’ This vocabulary will allow you to be more precise in your language when you speak.
Plus, you’ll learn common sentence starters with examples so you can adapt what you learn in the lesson to your own conversations in English.
In this lesson, I also mentioned:

I loved your way of teaching vocabulary. We learn many words and expressions that are related. The main reason I'm in favor of learning this way, it's because you give us many options to express an idea without sounding monotonous.
Wonderful lesson. Thank you!

Hi Annemarie mam,
Thank you so much for this lesson 😊
Sometimes it's very difficult for us to see all sides of an issue.
One reason I am in favor of online classes is students will be busy and they stay in touch with studies.
One reason I am against that they are increasing class hours, but it's not good for students and their health also.
Thank you very much, Annemarie.
In this lesson i learned is, on reason I'm in favor of supporting reading `pete's cat story' is that kids get strong practical messages for living their lives natualy , softly and calmly.
I from tamilnadu...❤️
A great teacher always it has been
Congratulations 👏 you're the best ❤️🥰..
Thank you.
Dear Annemarie, tks for this great lesson. My "pros and cons" example relates to one of my biggest passion: travelling. There are so many reasons why I am in favor of making luggages and go to new places but the main upside I can see in travelling is to get outside of your own comfort zone and discover that a different approach to everyday life is always possible and also enjoyable. On the other hand, should I point out a drawback of travelling I would say that it is often too expensive and this doesn't allow to plan more than one vacation a year.
Amazing 🤩
Let me weigh the pros and cons of reading books online. It's always beneficial if you consider all sides before reaching a decision.
One reason to be in favour of e-books is that they are affordable. Another upside is that you don't need to go to a bookstore or library. Many other positives are there as well.
I'm against online reading because it affects eyes very badly. Another drawback is that you don't always get the unique delight that you would get from a physical book.
I'm here undecided.😊 Mam your lesson was really inspiring. Keep going!
Good morning dear Annemarie.Thank you very much.Our example.
"It might be difficult to choose a present on her birthday.Her friends weighed the pros and cons to see all sides of an issue.Now one reason they're in favour of giving her warm cream semi- open roses and rich burgundy orchids to her parents."
Cheers.🇷🇺
🤝🤝Hi teacher thank you teacher to all lessons fantastic English collection pronunciation lessons i💗these lessons 👍👍
Although I was informed about the downside of my decision but Nevertheless I went ahead with it , and it became a plus for me
I personally want to give you my deepest appreciation for your way of explanation.
thank you mam
My son has decided to buy a car and we have had to weigh the pros and cons. A reason to be a favour of his decision is to give him the opportunity to take responsibility and be independent. Although the downside of that is the trouble of having 3 cars for the family.
Nicely done, Parisa! These are great examples with 'a reason to be in favor of' and 'the downside of.'
Fantastic, Definitely sharing that with my students back here in Brazil.
Thank you for sharing my lessons!
Amazing explain mam.
Amazing 👏 video
Love 💘 from India 🇮🇳!!!! ma'am

Hi Annmarie,
Hi Ann Marie,
Your teaching is awesome 👌 as always.
Everyone has to weigh a pros and cons before they get covid vaccine .The reason it is favor to prevent a person from being infected with carona but the downside of taking vaccine could also affect one’s health due to the
side-effects of the vaccine.
Hello Annemarie! I have to weigh pros and cons about to keep learning English in the next future. I' m in favor of keeping learnig becouse: I will gain more understanding of the language. I will get more confidence. I can use my spare time doing something useful. Iwill be able to watch interesting videos like the Speak Confident English ones. The cons are: Learning English is a bit tiring. I have to try hard to overcome language difficalties.I have to pay some money to tutors
Thanks.Is pros and cons formal? Can I use it in IELTS essays.
Hi, Ana Maria. I very like your class. It's so helpful that I almost reviewed all your class video, and I have a question to ask: there are two sentences :Do you like playing video games?
Do you like to play video games?
Are they all correct? if they express the same meaning?
Why I ask this question because in my country my teacher told me: the first sentence means "ask you if you like this kind of activity, but the second sentence means "if you want to play this game now?"
The pros and cons of jobs or carrers example acting.😊
I owe u one
👌👍💓
First of all ,I would like to thank you for your great efforts and your porofessionalism , can we used this sentence , one of the reason in favour of successes of the campaign is the massive budgets allocated to the candidate ,instead of one reason in favour of successes of the campaign ........
Hi Sami, you've got a good start here. A couple of things:
1. One of the reasons -- notice the 's' on the word reasons. This is important to keep because you're stating one of many reasons.
2. One of the reasons in favor of campaign is... -- this indicates a reason why you support something. But "One reason for the success of the campaign is the massive budgets..." has a different meaning. This highlights one reason of many that the campaign has been successful in general.
@@Speakconfidentenglish thank you again for your great explanation ,highly appreciated
First comment 😍😍.
Thumb up befor watching. I was waiting for this lesson.
Think you so much.
Love from Morroco 🇲🇦
I am now weigning on the issue that whether I should buy my daughter a smarphone or not. I can clearly see both sides for this issue. One of the benefits she may have is to have internet access whenever she wants and needs. However, one of the drawbacks it has is that it can distract her from focusing on her studying.
I don´t need to weight the pros and cons of this lesson...great job as usual, Annemarie!
Thanks so much.
We are deciding to get a dog too, and one reason I'm against is the space in my home.
Let me know what you decide, Heidi! We're undecided right now.
I see all sides. I would like to see win-win situation.
One reason in favor of the second lockdown in Ireland is try to reduce the number of people infected. The drawback is a lot of people will lose their jobs. (?)
The big advantage of your lesson Is the simplest way you cross to me; although on my point of view, the primary downside is that I can't follow you in daily basis.
Dear Annemarie, Happy Halloween!
Hello ma'am
let's weigh the pros and cons
there are many reasons not to be in favor of that ideology
one argument against online school is it's not as effective
Nice pro and cond
Dear Annemarie Happy Elections!
The primary downside of getting a hamster is their short lifespan. For a child, losing a pet can be emotionally difficult.
If I don’t pay the duties on time, I will have to pay updates and surcharges as well.
The primary downside of taking your lessons online is it the internet may break down🥲
