MAAAN, we LOST TO e4!!! like wth. >.<...all that preparation and committment to the debate, and in the end we still lost cos of a MAJOR flaw. we didnt link back abortion = murder, therefore abortions should be made illegal. we forgot to include the "therefore abortions should be made illegal" part. some more, we din present our case as well as e4, as they had like, assignations of who said wat, and who elaborated on wat. these all were stuff that ms ngiam and mrs violet teo said, but i really beg to differ. okay ppl, i do indeed admit that we were quite conceited to begin with, cos we underestimated the oppo. furthermore, we didnt really organise or have time to do so, cos of our complicated schedules. all in all, we did have our own faults which led to our losing of this round. but, i couldnt help feeling that the oppo didnt do a bang up job that crushed us, and won by quite a minimal margin. i mean, the teacher's justifications that they gave to us were kinda empty and didnt satisfy our questions on why we actually lost. until now, i just think its these 2 factors. however, mrs teo did state that she was disappointed in shawn for not being more elaborative on their points, so how did he get best speaker? junior was talking nonsense for 2 minutes during his speech, so how did the team win? yet mrs teo said they saw more teamwork in them than in us, who put in days and nights of planning and effort? kinda preposterous, doncha think? the people watching the debate, i'd really like to ask you this: who did a more persuasive or better argument, frankly? based on the points given by the teachers, obviously the oppo. but did you also have the same sentiments towards the points given, as to why they won and we lost? oppo supporters, call me a sore loser or anything you want, but its just my 1 person's opinion on the debate, and im not forcing it onto anyone. im proud of our team, regardless of the outcome. hmm, hope we learn from this experience and not commit the same mistakes again.ME
