Debate

I never know that debate could be so exciting and challenging. In the past, I always miss out the chances to watch or participate in a debate.Till last week, we were asked to prepare a debate on a topic' In war, every necessary and available tool must be employed, even children' and we were the proposing team for it. The most ironic thing is. the first thought that we have is, children shouldn't involve in war as war is brutal and cruel! But anyhow, we must support our view in order to win! Haha! We had a good spirit in that!


So, the next day, we held a meeting in the library. We chose our first,second and third speakers. After that, we started to discuss the points and the comebacks that the opposing team might present. We organised and elaborated our ideas. We even saerched through the internet to obtain more evidence and proves to substantiate our points.


On that day, there were total 3 debates being held. First debate was won by Group 2( the opposing team for topic 1 ). they really did a good job by providing all the information to support, as well as the proposing team. I was so attentive while listening both teams' debate.. Then, the next debate is our turn. After an arduous and grueling 'fight' between both teams, our team finally turned out to be the winner of the second debate!! And one of our group member, Marthinni was the best speaker...Congratz!!


Our effort paid off! So happy for it!


I learned a lot from this debate. I learned how the actual formal debate is, some rules and regulations in the debate, and the way the debaters expressing thwmselves..This debate gives me great experince and new knowledges. I feel so glad having this opportunity to go through it!
