Q7: 'The Art of Debate' - Read the passage aloud

Debating is a skill that teaches students to think critically and speak confidently. In a debate, two sides argue different views on a topic. Each speaker presents evidence, responds to questions, and defends their position. Debating helps students learn to research, organise ideas, and listen respectfully. Topics can range from school rules to global issues. Teachers use debates to build communication and reasoning skills. Even when opinions differ, debating encourages understanding and respect. It’s not just about winning—it’s about learning to think deeply and speak clearly.
