What the questions look like
Three examples at the ages 11–12 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.
“Everyone has these trainers already!” What trick is this?
Everyone-does-it. A classic persuasion trick: it gives pressure, not a reason. Spotting it is half the defence.
A speaker gives one opinion and two reasons. What do you note?
The opinion and both reasons. Notes catch the skeleton, not every word. Three short lines beat a full page.
Two speakers disagree about school uniforms. Listen for…
Each speaker’s reasons. Not who talks loudest, but who reasons best. That's critical listening.
