I was sure that the questions in the debate were very hard and that I will not be able to answer them. I do not usually speak up in class but now I find it much easier to speak up in class and express what I am going to say. It took some courage but it was worth it as the debate was really fun and I really enjoyed it. I hope that there will be more debating going on and I will be happy to answer the questions.

I learnt that I can learn a lot of things in a debate if I really listened to all my classmates and I will know where I went wrong if the wrong answer is given. I also learnt to depend on myself if I want to speak up and have to guts to make mistakes so I can learn from them.

The debate did not really influenced the way I perceive English and Literature as I had always had fun in both of the languages. I had always wanted to take up Literature when I go to secondary school but I did not know that it could be so fun, especially in debating. I am going to work hard so I can take up Literature and achieve my target.

They use words that are very carefully chosen and combined them with the simple sentences to allow readers to visualize the scene very clearly. The authors also use simple yet 'complicated' sentences to describe their feelings, adventures, etc. Show not tell was very well used and made the ordinary extraordinary with sentences or phrases that leave the reader with a very deep impression.
