In this debate, I loss to another team. And the reason that I lost is I felt so nervous during the debate and I just can say nothing to against Mario's team. What a pity that I lost. I just can control myself. I think according to this class, I learn how to counter-argue, first, you need to listen to others and think what is his or her argument, then you need to summarize it and use your own opinion to oppose others. Sometimes speaking is also a important point. Use your tone and diction to suppress them, let them don't know what should they say. Use your eye contact can help you be more natural, not like reading to others. A debate should intense and everyone should show their own opinions. In every week, we will learn a lot of new vocabulary words, and all of them can help you understand to others more clearly and also it's a easy to express yourself by using more words. Maybe sometimes, other cannot understand what you mean and then they will go of the topic and lose the points. That is a good way to final hit them. I wise in the future I can do better in speech class, because talking is best way to express yourself.
1. Be regular. You will create a new blog post every other day or 4 times per week. Each post will contain 200 or more words.
2. Be respectful. 3 times a week you will write at least one comment on someone else's post about what they have written.
This is a sandbox, not a litter box. You are free to play as your wish, but respect others' ideas and feelings.
3. Be interesting. There is a whole universe out there with almost unlimited things to talk about. We don't want to read about what you ate for lunch everyday. Tell us a story. Talk about something that happened in the news. Use pictures. Wow us with your wit and your charm.
