Can u give me tips on performing good in a debate?

Question

i am in high school & have participated in many inter-class debates & have won. But have never won in any inter -school debate although i ve tokk part in many of them also.....!!!!!

Answer 1

I feel, tht during a debate, u need to put your point logically. u need to identify any loop holes in the opposite persons argument. i dont think language is the ONLY thing in a debate but yes it adds more polish to your speech. be calm while presenting your points. be very well prepared and well read on your topic. all the best !!

Answer 2

Well, don't use good when you should use well. It makes you sound uneducated.

Answer 3

I think you can  talk about anything at length and hold a good debate only when you are calm and know your topic very well.  I think such knowledge should be aquired before hand ....no last minute cramming....that leads to panic.  And finally you should practice and think of questions that may arise and try to answer them yourself.  You should also pay attention to pace of speaking.  You should speak slowly so that people understand what you are saying and of course emphasis whenever needed.... I hope this helps.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

dont be tensed.........

Answer 5

well... if you have "tokk" part in debates and not won them... I can't imagine why.!

FIRST you need to know ENGLISH and secondly you need to know BOTH SIDES of the argument... you can never win a debate if you only know the pro or con side becauses you don't understand how the other person is thinking.

Answer 6

"can u give me tips on performing good in a debate?"

Yes.

Brush up on your English language skills. Know the proper words to use and when to use them.

For example; Can ("you") give me tips on performing ("well") in a debate.

Here's another one; "i ve tokk part," (I'm assuming you meant "I've took part."), is also improper English. "I've taken part" is the correct way to make this statement.

I see that you've "won many inter-class debates." Judging from the language skills you've demonstrated, I can honestly say that your competition wasn't stellar. Study, study, study so that you'll have a better chance of winning in your new competitive arena. Good luck.

P. S. If you need help deciphering this answer, given your language skills, post your questions about it, back in "Yahoo Answers," and I'll do my best to assist you.
