Practice Makes perfect. Monday, July 13th 2015 at CV Sumadikara
Office, Kampung Depok was the first debating practice of TDS members. It
was the first day of us practicing debate using British Parliamentary
System.
The practice was followed by the member of TDS who will
join the tournament in August and who just train the speaking and
argumentative skill. It was followed by 7 members consisting of
Anggiawan Nugraha (The English Teacher of SMAN 5 TSM) as the head of
TDS, Rahmat Abdul Kharisma (The Student
of Math/Management Department-Unsil) as the secretary of TDS, Ratna R
Na'im (The teacher from SMA RUT Condong) as the member, Indrian Maulida
(The Student of LP3I) as the member, M. Lutfi Hanan (The student of SMAN
4 Tasikmalaya) as the member, Agni Aulia (The student of MA Persis
Cempaka Warna) as the member and Anom Gilang Pamungkas (The student of
SMAN 4 Tasikmalaya) as the member. All of the members were very
enthusiastic following this practice.
In this practice, we debated the motion "THBT Gay is not mental
disorder). The members are divided into 4 teams consisting of Opening
Government, Opening Opposition, Closing Government and Closing
Opposition. All teams have tried to prove the better argument. It was
started from that Gay is a genetics factor and gay does not need to be
cured as what the Opening Government stated and the Opening Opposition
attacked that Gay is caused by the environmental factor, it is a choice
and it can not be cured. The Closing bench from both teams have tried to
give the extension based on the each position.
This practice has
given many good responses, such as one of the new member of TDS, Agni
said on Whatsapp group, "Thanks for wonderful day today.. 😄",
She felt that the practice is a wonderful moment for her. Then she said
also that she will always learn and learn to be better.
Finally, this debating practice will not stop at that day. It will be continued after Lebaran day.
