What this debate covers

“Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16?” (“¿Se debería bajar la edad para votar a los 16 años?” in Spanish) is a two-sided Spanish debate on society — both arguments written out in full. Valentina and Diego argue whether 16-year-olds are mature enough to vote — or whether the current age of 18 is already too young.

Each side is written at three levels — A2 Foundations, B1 Intermediate and B2 Advanced — with a one-tap English translation, the argument vocabulary you need to reuse, and discussion questions to take into conversation.
