Debate is a wonderful instance because students practice not only one English skill, but use all of them speaking, reading comprehension, writing, and listening. For that reason, debate is very good for learners because it is a complete activity.
About our own experience; I believe that whole class enjoyed the debate because I could see and notice that everyone was very anxious and motivated about it. In addition, both groups did a work well because they studied and researched their topics in order to defend their points of views. For instance, the first group showed some fascinating facts which reflected that they managed their topic, such as statistics, books, interviews, authors, philosophers etc. Moreover, the for and against group were very tolerant when classmates were explaining their points. Both groups had clear ideas in order to defend their position. However, at the time of questions some responses were not well-developed and maybe that damaged both sides. Apart from that in some occasions the English language was wrong and that was a factor which resulted in the responses no being understood by the opposite group or audience.
With respect the second group; the ideas proposed by classmates were very attractive however, the against side was not presented and that affected the debate. Nevertheless, some responses were very attractive which made the audience could forget the mistake done by them. Also, there were some errors grammar and some opinions were not well explained. Despite of the bad organization of the group; the attitude that they took I liked too much and they tried to do their best. In my opinion, the group in favor won because their responses were argument well with true facts and their ideas were very clear at the moment to response the opposite group’s questions. Nevertheless, It is a bit difficult to say who won in the second group, but were very convince some of their responses.
In conclusion, about the whole activity I felt very enthusiastic and my classmates and I wanted to go on. I hope that this kind of activity we can make it more than once because it is a good and fun method of practicing.

debate
Debate is a wonderful instance because students not only practice one English skill they should use all of them (speaking, reading comprehension, writing, and listening) for that reason, for me debates are very good for learners because it is a complete activity. About our own experience I believe that all class enjoyed the debate because I could see and notice that everyone was very anxious and motivated about it.
On the other hand, both groups did a well work because they studied and researched their topics in order to protect their points of views. In addition, the first group showed some interesting facts which reflect that they manage their topic such as, some statistics books, interviews, authors, philosophers etc. Moreover, the favor and against group were very tolerant and respectable when classmates were explained their points. At the same time, both groups had clear ideas in order to defend their position. However, at the time of questions some responses were not well developed and thinking and maybe that damage both sides. Apart for that in some occasions the English language was bad used and that was a factor which did that the responses could not be understand by the opposite group or audience.
With respect the second group the ideas that classmates proposed were very attractive however, the against side was not presented and that affect the debate. Nevertheless, some responses were very attractive which did that the audience could forget the mistake done by them. Also there were some grammar errors and some opinions were not well explained. Despite of the bad organization of the group I liked the attitude that they took and they tried to do their best.
In my opinion, the group in favor about teacher certification won because their responses were argument with true facts and their ideas were very clear at the moment to response the opposite group’s questions.
For me it is a bit difficult to say who won in the second group but I can say that some of their responses were very convinced however I do not have good thoughts in order to say who won.
In conclusion, what happened to me that time was a bit short and I wanted to say more ideas. I felt very enthusiastic all the activity and my classmates and I wanted to go on.
I hope that this kind of activity we can do it more than once because it is a good and fun method where we can practice our English.
