The Chinese Debating Championship "Qualifiers" is up today. Yes, our team's round is next Tuesday, but our school's other team (all Sec 4s) is competing today.
The venue is The Chinese High School. We reached there a little past 2. The classmates of the competing team also came along, which means not everybody would be able to watch the debate by our school's team. Mdm Yong asked me and the other two team members who came along to watch the debate between Raffles Girl's and River Valley.
The motion was something like "Competition is more effective than co-operation in the development of the human race". RGS was the Proposition; RV was the Opposition. It was a heated debate, and RV won.
After watching that match, I don't really think I can match up to their standard. Also, you know what's the worst thing? I might become more than a reserve. Mdm Yong had said that if a particular team member doesn't appear at tomorrow's meeting, I would replace him at the second speaker.
Oh dear, I am in trouble.
