Debate (correction)

The debates were an excellent experience for the class. We showed a new performance and it was very well done. Obviously, there were so many things to improve, but it was our first time in debate performance, so it was not bad.
In my opinion the first performance about "professionals teaching in schools" each team could have improved the vocabulary and contrarguments, because sometimes the dialogue was repetitive. One of the teams took advantage of feelings and emotions, therefore the y had an apropriate use of pathos. However, They could have improved its arguments with more concrete researches, not just feelings. I think the winner was the team in favor of professionals teaching in schools, because they were more organized and clear.
As we could see, the second performance had some problems and the time was too short for the presentation. However, they could have improved the organization of the debate.The members of the team did not have their turns to talk very clear. Also, the vocabulary used could have improved. Although, I think this team was the winner because they were well informed and concrete in their examples. But, this second performance needed more time to consolidate issues, statistics and contrarguments. I have some things to say, because I was part of the team in favor of voluntary voting. I would like to talk about young people in politics. But it is too long to write here, maybe I will talk about it tommorrow in class.

The debates were an excellent experience for the class. We showed a new performance and it was very wel done. Obviously, there were lot of things to improve, but as first time it was not bad.
In my opinion the first performance about "professionals teaching in schools"each team could have improved the vocabulary and the contrarguments, because sometimes the dialogue was repetitive. One of the team took advantage of feelings and emotions. They could have improved its arguments with more concrete researches. I think the winner was the team in favor of proffesionals teaching in schools, because they were more organized and clear.
As we could see the second performance had some problems and the time was not its friend. However, they could have improved the organization of the debate, because the members of the team did not have very clear when was her/his turn. Also, the vocabulary used could has improved. Eventough, I think this team was the winner because they were well informed and concrete in their examples. But, this second performance needed more time to consolidate issues, statistics and contrarguments. I have some things to say, because I was part of the team in favor of voluntary voting. It refers to young people in politics. But it is too long to write here, maybe I could have the chance tomorrow to talk about.
