Debates

A debate is used to cite opinions or viewpoints on a topic. There are two sides of debates. The first side is ‘for the motion’, that is, for the topic, and the second side is ‘against the motion’ or against the topic.

The Format of Debate

In order to make a debate look perfect, one needs to follow the correct format for it. Before you begin writing a debate, decide whether you are going to speak for the motion or against the motion. 

  • Crisp Introduction

The ideal format for debate writing begins with a brief and crisp introduction. In the introduction, do not forget to mention the topic. In the introduction itself, you should mention whether you are going to speak for the motion or against the motion. It is important to greet the audience as well. The salutation can be included in the beginning.

  • The Body

Then comes the body of the debate. It is advisable to divide the body into at least two to three paragraphs. You should write down the problems in the main body and clearly state your arguments. Make sure that the points you state are valid and relevant. Quotes can also be included in this part. 

  • Conclude on a high note

The conclusion should include the solution to the problems. Suggestions and advice for change can be given in this passage. The statements made in the conclusion should clearly show your stand. Never forget to be grateful to the audience at the end
