Debating seems really hard. Before started debating at Wellesley I thought it would just be someone saying something and people just keep criticizing them but no they have heaps and heaps of rules. Firstly you can't criticize the person you can only criticize their argument (sadly) secondly you have to wait your turn to speak. That is one of the worst things debating. It does kind of make sense though, because if there was no rules like that it be up there with insults in the things they teach in school.
Me personally I don't know where I want to speak. First speaker sounds really boring because you can't criticize anyone. Third speaker sounds quite fun because but you have to summarize what your group is trying to say. So I think I would like to be second speaker, because you get to criticize the other team so if I can choose one speaker to be I would choose second.
