Louise White asks whether teenagers need lessons on how to speak properly.

Louise White asks whether teenagers need lessons on how to speak properly. And with only 100 days to go, is Glasgow ready for the Commonwealth Games?

TOPIC 1: 100 DAYS TO GO
As we hit the landmark of 100 days to go to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games we want to know how you are feeling? With the controversial decision to include the demolition of the Red Road Flats now cancelled what does this mean for the opening ceremony? Do you feel Glasgow is ready and if you live out with the city in other parts of Scotland, is there enough to engage you?

Louise asks: With 100 to go, how are you feeling about the Commonwealth Games?

TOPIC 2: UNCOMMUNICATIVE TEENS
Tony Blair's former speech writer, Peter Hyman, thinks that schools should teach children how to be articulate to put an end to the image of the "grunting, monosyllabic teenager." He says it's the "number one issue for employers" as there are concerns that young people "can't string a sentence together."

Louise asks: Do teenagers need lessons in how to speak properly?

Extra Question
