I had debate yesterday. The first motion was "Singaporeans do not care about the environment". I, fortunately for me, was not speaking. Patrick did not come from debate. Later, i found that Patrick quit debate and to think that he was the second speaker. So, our group was in big trouble. Luckily, Daniel managed to take over Patrick's place as second speaker. In the end, the points were, Proposition(my team): 254 points and the opposition: 259 points. So well, my team lost...or did we??!! We actually won thanks to Jason. He did not speak but made many comments throughout the debate and therefore lost 10 points for his group. So, the final points were proposition :254 and Opposition: 249. I really hope that Jason learned his lesson. So anyway, the next motion was "Parents should not teach their children at home". This time, my team was the opposition and the other team was the proposition. We only did a draft debate and we will continue the next debate on 26th Feb.
