Tips for doing Debate!
First, you need to understand the motion clearly. This is very important, even if this is so obvious. However, this is important because you need to POI or rebut the other team. When you do not understand the motion clearly, there are more ways you can lose the debate. You should ask questions before we go to Breakout rooms, or ask Mr. Patrick when he is bouncing around the rooms. Make sure you 100% understand the debate, and you should be able to explain it in your words.
Second, you should write down your rebuttals for even your team. When you do like this, you can sympathy what the other team might say. This is very important since if you do not imagine, you will have no time during the debate to write the rebuttals.
Third, try to be proud. Like even if you think it’s not that good, you should have a very proud attitude. Because then, the judge really thinks you’re proud ^^
Last, think about your teammates, and what they will say. Write good rebuttals in the shared file, and ask them to use those rebuttals. POI whenever you can, and have courage! You can win this debate if you have courage and pride! (And also a good speech). But a good speech comes out of EVERYONE. If you think people like Seoin do good at debate, that’s right, even if you can become like that! Have belief in yourself, and don’t always envy Seoin! But you will because I do too! Haha.
And Mr. Patrick, you said the order had to do with me always doing Prime Minister, right? And that has to do with me always getting in team Government, along with Seoin always on team Opposition! I wish you will shuffle the teams well this time on the “THW have Seoul of Vegan”. I think that “Breakout Room order” thing has to do something with. Anyways, I actually enjoy being Prime Minister, and I hope you make me do it this time too! :) But I wish other students will try Prime Minister too because I have been Prime Minister for 5 or 6 times!
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
This quote is about me telling you about debate! Have courage in yourself, have pride, and be confident! That’s the main point of today’s blog post. I hope this could be a help to those who want to be good at debate! And I really think everyone's a great debater in our class! Have a great night everyone, and let's work hard on this debate coming soon~~
