I honestly never thought I could learn so much from an English class. All I did in previous English classes was write essays and read books but as soon as the class was over reading and writing were over for me as well.

This method helps me a lot to improve my writing and get my points clear in better words to the …show more content…
I have never done a debate before and I don’t do so well in public speaking, which made it even harder. The opposing side was very attacking and offensive even though I thought I was prepared after all the research I did but our topic was very broad and the opposing side was talking about totally different points from ours. But I have learned to look more confident in future debate in front of the opposing side so they don’t take advantage, and try to think deeply on what they can attack my side with to be better prepared with answers.
