Reflection On My Argumentative Essay and Debate

          First, to find a good topic for an argumentative essay, you should consider several issues and problems that will have two main points of view or different conclusions. You can write as many argumentative essay topics as you can think of, you should pick one that catches your interest so that you can write many information about it. So basically, argumentative essay is when we write an essay with appropriate arguments. For example when our topic is about smoking. We could prefer which side we're agreeing with, which is the pro or con. For example the title is "Smoking Shall Be Banned!" if you choose pro for this, it means that you agree that smoking should be banned. Or if you chose con, it means you don't agree that smoking should be banned. Also don't forget to put the thesis, statement, clear format, point of arguments, and a reference list to evaluate.
          My improvement on argumentative essay is to put the thesis statement and more evidence. I didn't put this on my essay because I was thinking much things about the facts on the topic rather then the evidence. That's why I need to improve more on my argumentative essay.
          Debate... Debate is almost similar to Argumentative essay, the difference is that the argumentative essay is like a reflection, it's what we have to ourselves. But, debate is when we have two teams that team #1 agrees with "Smoking Shall Be Banned!" and team #2 is the opposite. it is when for example 3 members from each teams could complain about why it is good or bad to smoke. The last speaker should sum up all of the arguments, that person needs to come up with a better solution.
          From the previous debate I've experienced, I realized I was speaking too fast, but I was clear. And at the end I realized people wasn't really sure about the statement that I wrote. So what I need to improve on debate is speak slower and clearer.
