| A debate involves a discussion of the pros and cons of an issue. Debating successfully is all about using argument and persuasion to convince other people that your views are right. Here are steps to debating perfection. First, research the subject, so that you have facts to back up your views. Then, use logic to develop your case and make your points. Lead each point on from what you were previously saying. That way you build up a story and expand your answer. It's always good to consider the counter-arguments in advance. That way the other side can't catch you out and you're always prepared. Next, be open-minded and prepared to change your opinion if the other side convinces you your argument is flawed. Last but not least, stick to the subject being debated and don't stray into other areas. It sounds obvious but it's not easy to do once you start debating. |
