The art of Debatig
For a good debate you need citrine factors like your emotional appear.
The “Emotional Appear” is how you debate.
You can debate strong and attack the arguments of the other team or you can with the ordiance and
try to win their sympathy.
I can show you these two types at the example of an Osama Bin Laden-Debate :
First the strong argumentation: “He has killed thousands of people and that is why the killing of
Osama Bin Laden was right!”
Now the emotional argumentation:” Osama Bin Laden was a man like you and me and no one has
achieved to be killed in front of his sons, grandsons and his wife. Just imagine your father grandfather
would be killed in front of you, just thinking about this terrible thing tells me that the killing of this
man was wrong!”
In a good debate there are other factors:
1. The audience <-> speaker relationship: When you have a debate always remember that you need
to talk with the audience and not have to give a presentation on the debating topic.
2. Your debate must be logical structured so that the audience can follow you.
3. When you want to make your debate really believable you can talk about studie that say that… .
4.If you want to have a good debate you always need to start with a good method of quoting. You
shouldn’t have too much on your card so you don´t look to too often on your notes, because are
nervous, and the audience doesn´t think that you don’t talk to them. On the other side you shouldn’t
know your text by hard so you could get too fast with your speaking.
You shouldn´t have more than 3 cards with each 6 words on it.
5. In a debate you need a good body language that tells the audience “Listen!”
You can knock on the table or some other surfaces to tell the audience that you
You can also act like you mob your tears out of your eyes to win the compassion.

6 In a debate it is really important that you know both sides of the debate.
If you know that you can think about good counterattacks.
If you give these counterattacks that would surprise the audience.
7. You can ask questions that irritate your enemy in a debate with the “Point Of Information”
This works not always, because the enemy can say no and then he doesn’t need to answer the question.
8. You can use may sentences that can make your debate even stonger like:
Isn´t that the case?, Think more deeply about it!, etc.
9. For the audience it is often boring to listen to 2 minutes and longer texts
So why not bring some humor in your textst?

Now I will write an debating Text about the topic: “ One-Child-Policy in Germany”
I am against this motion!
My first argument is that studies have shown that the German population is shrinking and if we would
have this One-Child-Policy that would mean that the German population would shrinking even more!
At the moment Germany have a born rate of 0,7. We can´t prohibit that the families that get 2 Childs
My second argument is that all of you who have a brother or a sister that is not younger or older than
2 years would first say that they are annoying, but if you think more deeply about it you will know
what you would miss without them.
Personally I would miss my brother, because it is boring to go biking without an annoying brother.
My third argument is that Germany doesn’t need a One-Child-Policy, because we have enough food.
China just made this policy, because wanted to shrink the population.
And Hey, China does that with hard methods.
This is why this motion must fall!
