Here is an example of a discussion text for debate that you apply the rules you have learnt above.

Pay attention to steps presented in the following discussion text.

Chairman: We are having a debate activity. The speakers from the affirmative

team are Zaky, Reny and Oky and from the negative one are Okto, Nova andReno. Now our topic is that the continuing our study at the university out of

town is better than at our home town.

Zaky: When you continue your study out of town, you will have a change. You

will have a new situation, new people and new spirit, of course.

Okto: I disagree with you. Why? If you wanted a change, you would get it in the

new place where you continue your study after senior high school. So it wont benecessary to continue study out of town.

Reny,No, I cant accept your opinion. Being away from parents, teenagers likeus can learn how to be an independent person. You should wash your ownclothes and iron them by yourselves. Continuing your study out of town can lead

you to be a more responsible person.

Nova: Yes, you probably can learn how to be an independent person at your

parents at home. However, by living away from your parents, your family will

spend more money. It means that continuing study at your hometown make youmore economical.

Oky: Well, I think thats not quite true? Why? When you live apart from your

parent, you control the money by yourself, dont you? You become even more

appreciative in spending your money. You will be wiser with the money.

Reno: Okay then, many people believe that being away from parents can be very

risky. Because there is no control from their parents, many teenagers join thedangerous activities like drink and narcotics, etc.

Chairperson: Finally, I have to sum up. Continuing studying out of town can be

beneficial, namely, improving your personality and life skills.

4. PresentationAfter studying part 1,2 and 3, now, you work together to do the following task:

First, the class is divided into two groups (A and B). Each group is divided intotwo sub-groups (A1, A2. B1 and B2)

Then, Group A 1 and 2 are affirmative sub-groups. So, B1and B2 are negative

sub-groups

And Group A1 will debate against B1 and A2 against B2
