    Hİ! 

    My name is Sena.One of the student in Debating in Latvia

    Debating is fun and also important activity for me. Important because it helps to improve our language and gives courage to us. Competition about two group can be hard sometimes but each group have to be prepared for the questions. So.. Before debating all students have to prepare their speech and find questions that they will ask. In this part, they can find pictures and files ext. This will give you extra points from juries. They can make a power point presentation. And when debating starts everybody should make their own presentation. And it goes like this. My feelings about debating I had a lot of fun. I was exited about my speech but I feel relaxed when I sit. I started to make questions to ask the other group. Question part was so fun. I enjoyed arguing with my friends. When debating end I didn’t even think about who will win. I was just happy but we won by the way. And I was so happy about that to. But most important thing was of course friendship. So we congratulated each other and than share the price, the cake.
