Today I attended the English debate workshop which was brought by Miss Anna Manurung. It should be started in 9 am and finished in 3 am. In fact, we actually started at 9.30 because Miss Anna woke up late (she admitted it). The attendats were surprisingly few, just around 10 people. From 01pbc, only I and Steven were present. Besides us, there were Aldo, Salman, Lesli, Joshua, Henri, and the girls whose name I forgot.
In this workshop we learned about the rules and techniques in 3 on 3 debate. There are so many rules that I can't remember them all. After explained, we had a practice of debating with the topic "Men are fairer sex". We were divided into two groups; one group consist of boys, while another group consist of girls. Before that, we got the chance to watch first speaker demo(affinitive and negative) by Steven and Henri. At that time I realized that debating is so difficult. At the end of the workshop, Miss Anna told us that there will be 3 on 3 debates between classes. The class which wins the debate will get additional score of 5 for Academic English course. At 12.00 the workshop ended; it should be at 3.00, but the debaters had to do something important.
Honestly, there are things that I don't understand: what is fairer sex? why do people tap the table in debating? what is "shame, shame" / "hear, hear" ? Why is Miss Anna called "Bong" ?
