Speech...or Debate?

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

Which do you prefer? Personally, I like the idea of public speaking better, but that's just because I haven't tried debate.

I don't like formal debating. I tried it last year, and it was a bit too...unnatural for my taste. What I would find better is if we could use an informal speech layout and just take turns speaking.

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

That would be good. What was the name of your event? Is your school part of the NFL?

Debate 100%. ^^

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

Cool! Any specific events?

[[deleted user]]

Debate. Definitely.

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

Nice!

[★RavenclawReader★]

Debating, of course!

[Alison]

Debate helps my public speaking. It gives me confidence to share and discuss my ideas. So I like both...

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

That's cool...haven't thought of it that way before. :)

I think public speaking. I like debating as well, but I prefer having time to collect my thoughts and phrase my arguments for maximum impact, you don't always get that in a debate. I do Model United Nations though, which is kind of a combination of both.

As do I!

I can't do IMPROMPTU speech or debate. But if I'm prepared, I can argue a point.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Me too. But I can argue a point even if I'm not prepared.

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

If it means a lot to me, I probably can. But if it's something very minor, or that I have no opinion on, I can't.

[Susan]

I really love a great challenge...and will take on impromptu debates...I guess I live picking sides on anything...sometimes I win and sometimes I lose...just love seeing what sides people will take and why...

I personally like speech more, but that's mainly because we don't have debate at my school (as far as i know.) Also, I worry that I may get too carried away if I were to get on a debate about a personal/well known topic.

[Leah, I'm HI-larious! (Head Mod)]

Yup, same here. That and I don't know if I could make up an argument on the spot.

Debate. People tell me I'm a great arguer to be able to think really fast. :D

Debate. I find it more interesting to listen to opinions of others and counter-speak rather than airing my own view only.

[TotalWhovian TARDIS girl]

Debate

[Maddison]

debate it is sounds less nerve wracking because your so wrapped up in your point

[Treble Maker :3]

I'm more of a debater, I enjoy both but arguing my point against others is just more fun to me.

Debate. I get stuck when I have to speak by myself on a topic. I much prefer contra-arguing ;))
