I remember stormy weather
The way the sky looks when it's cold And you were with me Content with walking So unaware of the world Walking on air

The ArenaPosted at: 5:12 AM Debating fundamentals for Dummies: 1. When your opponent offers a point of information, you accept it and he states it, you don't say 'Well, I don't get your point but let's move on.' That results in incredulous stares from the judges and a nationwide embarassment for yourself seeing as you're on national TV. 2. Do not stroll into full view wearing a smug look on your face, and continue acting smug when your name is being announced, then begin your debate with a super calm and cool attitude, only to become frantic and flustered when you realize you're not as good as you think. It's kinda lame. 3. Though I appreciate the fact that it is very pressurizing and therefore nerve-wrecking to be in a competition such as this, repeating the same phrase 3 times in a row is not going to do much to help your team. 4. If you are going for a competition, treat it like a competition. Unless you have been adopting this attitude/frame of mind from the start, don't be uber-serious and deadpan one moment then laughing at something else the next. Even if the motion is on humour. 5. Pray that witty little insertions (e.g. mentioning 'Front' in which one of the judges is the host) will serve your case by making you more appealing to the judges. Luckily Fahd is in Miami now man. If he watched the arena on chn 5, I think he'd be shaking his head in despair at how some of these teams debate. o_o On a side note: Bought a new racket today! =D 1=1-----(#) <--- pro graphic representation of said racket |
