artworld: August 2011

Today,I feel like I want to share my experience about debating or bahas since I entered the BM ones.I thunk it's another type of art as well since more like oral art.It needs talent hard work and passion just like drawing.I t has been one of my other passion besides fine arts,beauty arts and cooking.Since I'm form 5 now,I already entered my school debating team for 3 years making me one of the seniors.The problem is now we don't have many juniors anymore since it's hard to find the right person with passion and compassion.

Basically,debate is made up of 3 people the prime minister/head opposition,2nd minister/opposition.3rd minister/opposition.

the sequence of talk is like this:-

Prime minister:
-he will open the case and the motion for that day,He will get an advantage only that if he didn't open the case clearly the team will fall easily.

head opposition:
-he will open a new concept and rejects all prime minister's concept but still in the same motion.
-his team is weak when the head opponent did not meet the government's motion.

2nd minister:
-he will give points to support the prime minister's concept and rejects the head opponent.

2nd opposition:
-he will open 2 points to support opposition and rejects the prime minister and the 2nd minister.

3rd minister:
-he needs to uphold the government stand and objects everything comes from the opposition to make sure all their points fall apart from the most important points to the not so important points.He needs to think fast and very careful to listen to every words that comes from the opposition's mouth.People said this is the hardest position as it can't be prepared earlier.This is my position..yes..it needs lots of training of listening ,fast writing and how to break the opponent's points in just a few seconds.
I've seen many people who stuck in the middle during their turn.It's not easy to find the right person for this position.

3rd opposition:
-he got the same work with 3rd minister only to objects all 3 speakers.
