Now, we are divided into groups and we must conduct a debate for every topic that we get from Sir Mark. The first topic was quite interesting that is ‘Ghost Does Not Exist’. The group members for this topic are Nur Azzafirah, Mas Adibah and Muaz. Their opponent’s topic was ‘Ghost Does Exist’ which represents by Ili Shairah Haizi, Abdul Urus and Hizrie. It was a tough debate for both groups because their points are quite strong based on their researches. In my own point of view, I do believe that ghost does exist. I don’t know why I'm saying this but I think that those creatures are living in this world together with us. It was whether we can see it or not. The winner for this topic is Ili’s group. ‘Ghost Does Exist’.
The next topic is ‘TV Cannot Educate People’. The group members are Fadli, Athirah and Nuratikah (she was absent on that day). They are debating against Panel A which is Kamal Bukhari, Hartini and Melody by the topic ‘TV Can Educate People’. Based on their points, TV can educate because it consist of educational programs such as National Geographic, TVIQ, History, Travel and Living, AFC and many more. Instead of reading books and comics, TV can give people visual image that are more clear. Those reading materials sometimes use corrupted language. In addition, Barney and Friends can teach children how to count, spell and sing. The language also suitable for children’s learning. On the contrary, the opponent’s points are quite relevant too. The cartoon such as Tom and Jerry was popular and many children like to watch it. Without realizing it, actually it can influence children to do the bad things such as set up fire in the house, playing with knife and other dangerous stuffs. In Superman also, there is one case that one child jumped from the 11th floor because he thought he can fly like Superman. As the result after the ‘big debate’ between Melody and Fadli, the class believed that TV Cannot Educate People.

‘There Is Honest Person these Days’. This is the third topic of the debate. I am one of the group members including Nur Azzafirah (she was helping us because we only have two in a group) and Ahmad Aizat. Our opponents are Safwan, Carol and Nurul Farhana. They are against us with their topic which is ‘There Is No Honest Person these Days’. I don’t really know the format in debate but I had tried my best to debate with them. It was quite fun and interesting debate because we are fighting with each other. But it was just a game, not hard feelings. Their points are quite relevant and strong. At the end, they won the debate and the best speaker was Nur Azzafirah.
The famous quote about honesty:
1) George Washington, the first American President: “Honesty Is the Best Policy”.
2) Thomas Jefferson, the third American President: “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” “It may be difficult for some people to be honest, but it is well worth the effect”.
