Excessive use of hand gestures must be avoided. Thinking time - 2 minutes. Opening Statement – 2

(Literary Secretary) was summoned to propose the vote of thanks.
Debate skills are essential to public life. When the world’s first universities were established,
three skills were considered essential for leadership and promotion of the best ideas: grammar, logic,
and rhetoric—what we now know as reading, writing, and speaking. Today in the 21st century, the ability
to create, present, and evaluate ideas remains essential to democracy and commerce in modern
societies. A debate program fosters these traits. Debate develops skills and knowledge that will help the
debater become an elite and college-ready student and will also help them to develop a civic and political
identity. Students will develop a sense of ownership of the world and a sense of empowerment, as they
will know specific global and domestic issues, and the ways in which the government can solve our
generation’s problems.
The event was brilliantly organized and turned out to be a grand success. It concluded at 6:00PM.
