Debate competiton

Suprisingly, I was also participating in the debate competition that took place last saturday. And since I remember more of it now, I decided to explain it here.

So at first, everything was messy. We were in a class on the second floor, and a guy told us to get connected to audio in the zoom in the computer in the room we were in, as we will be hearing our information there by a middle school principal.

So after hearing what we were supposed to do, we barely understood what we were supposed to do. But thankfully most of us did, so we moved class into a new one with blue walls and a rather lot of fish and Jerry the mouse.

We just sat there and waited, and another team came along, and then the judge. I was scared, worried and busy on rebutting and preparing, as our fisrt round was prepare, for fossil fuels. I have to admit, I did very poorly because the leader of opposition only did one arguments and she didn't rebut the arguments Rachel ( prime minister ) did, she just added her fact from her own arguments to replace the rebuttals. It baisically had nothing to do with Rachel's arguments, which was why I was missing my rebut from her second argument and the rebut of the rebut part. In conclusion I wasn't able to skip the time limit. But the rest of our team did great, so we won by two points.

Since we won, the team left and we heard the announcements. We were to stay in the class because we won. The next team came and I became the whip for opposition. The second round was supposed to be about 'we should make 5th graders use tablets for education instead of textbooks'. I guess I didn't do my worst, but I was very relieved when my part was over. I took most of the Pois, because except the team leader, the team in the second round had rather weak pois. Anyway, I thought we will really lose this time, because the other team was so natural and all in their speech. And as I expected the judge said the other team won. But then he started explaining about what the opposition should have done like to the government team. He confused opposition and government, and he looked as confused as we did. So in conclusion we turned out to be the winning team.

Then it was the third round I can't remember. It was our last round, so I was nervous, and mostly too hungry. AND the team leader was a best friend of mine at school. So I really wanted to win her. The round's motion was that we should stop mans to go to the militay or something- I can't remember it exactly.

After the final round, we got the announcement and we left. Didn't win any medals, but I was kinda disappointed of it, but also proud we won two rounds.
