Liz Saville Roberts met with Welsh and Law A-level students at Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor, Dolgellau recently to discuss her work as the Member of Parliament for Dwyfor Meirionnydd. She also gave tips on how to successfully write a speech and express opinions.

Ms Saville Roberts, a former Welsh language education lead for the college, presented information on assisted dying, the next serious issue that will be discussed at Westminster, and the students were introduced to both sides of the debate.

She gave students suggestions to ensure their work meets the required criteria. Second-year students were given ideas on what to include in an address, while first year received guidance on how to express opinions effectively in their coursework.

Alaw Roberts, a second-year student on the Welsh course, found the MP's advice very helpful. She said: “The session was extremely interesting. The advice from Liz Saville Roberts and the presentation on expressing opinions were important in making sure we know how to go about writing a speech.”

Ms Saville Roberts said: “It was good to meet with Law and Welsh A-level students at Coleg Meirion Dwyfor, Dolgellau last week.

“We discussed many issues relevant to their studies, including the Assisted Dying Bill which will be brought before the House of Commons this Friday. It was insightful to get their views on a matter of such importance.

“We also discussed what Members of Parliament do and how to present an argument effectively. As former Welsh language education lead for Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor, it was great to be back in the classroom listening and talking to students about the issues that matter to them and how best to apply what they learnt to their coursework and studies. I wish the students well with their work.”

The students greatly appreciated Liz Saville Roberts' visit and they all certainly learnt something new about the work of members of parliament. They wish her well in the parliamentary vote on this very important subject, and hope she will come back to speak to them again.
