Which Team (Sy, Alan, Elsie and Kelly) is the negative side about having a girlfriend of boyfriend in school while Not This Team (Leon, Jenny and Sue) is supporting the affirmative side.

The strongest point Which Team mentioned is that students still cannot control themselves very well since they are still adolescence. They may do something really bad and harmful to their boyfriend or girlfriend if they had one. Just as Sy said, they may have sex and teenagers are not allowed to do so. In brief, they wanted to convince people that having a boyfriend of a girlfriend would distract our conscious.

From Not This Team, they thought that having a boyfriend or a girlfriend is having a good partner analogously for study and many other aspects in their daily life. They wanted to prove that having a boyfriend or girlfriend will help people to study better and live better eventually.

The topic between Anonymous Team (Gene, Hugo and Yuki) and Michael Jackson Team (Michael, Judith and Grace) is should ESL students only speak English in school. Anonymous Team highly disagreed with this topic as they think speaking only English won’t have very much advantage because that it’s harder to understand in English than in Chinese. Also, using Chinese seldom to explain some big words can help people understand better and save more time.

 Michael Jackson Team really agreed with the topic. Since Chinese people began to speak Chinese in their childhood, they showed us that a language environment is a very important part of learning a whole new language. And only using English can provide us the language environment and help us boost our English level. The example they used is that the reason why we are now able to debate in English is that we all speak English in school these days.
