PDA即興型英語ディベート
2024年度最終回即興型英語ディベート
On 2/3 (Mon), the final debate activities were held.
As usual, we held one final round for all students when they debated the following topic:
We should spend more money on space exploration. 宇宙探査によりお金をかけるべきである。
The topic was very interesting and the debates were lively with students arguing about issues such as needing money for more urgent problems or the technological benefits that space exploration brings.
After that final round, we held and exhibition debate to showcase this year's best debaters. This year has had some especially good debate students but we had chosen the members of our national debate team and three of the members who challenged the team the most in practice matches. They debated the following topic:
We should abolish the death penalty. 死刑制度を廃止すべきである。
Again, the debate was very lively. One of the PDA staff, one Hibari Global Division member, and the remaining students judged the debate. The result was victory for the opposition team as the arguments presented supported keeping the death penalty over abolishing it. Thank you very much to the six members chosen for a final wonderful debate!
And, thank you for all the participants for a wonderful year of debating! Of course, we had great results in tournaments this year, but those results were built on the foundation of the regular practices that challenged all members to develop their skills. Good job everyone!
