In this unit, we learn how to debate and how to be a good debater. When we have a debate, we should listen carefully to the speaker’s argument and take notes of what they say. And you also need to respectfully criticize the speaker’s argument when it is your turn. If you are a speaker, you should state your argument on the topic clearly after acknowledge the opposing viewpoint. You can’t say some sentences like “you are wrong”or “That is stupid”and so on. You may say"you said...but i respectfully disagree”or some other respectfully sentences. Except those things, the speaking skills are also important to debate. I like debate because before we have a debate, we should do some research on the internet, so we will learn more things. And I like to say my opinion to other people. To have a debate with other people is amusing. You can listen to others’opinion and you can say your opinion to counter them and let them have nothing to say, that's pretty cool.
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.
