A Answers:
18 March
Today I feel worn out. This morning,
I took part in a debate about the
Internet. The Internet is very
controversial. It seems very popular
with many people, but there are still
some people who do not like it at all.
They say that it is full of information
that can not be trusted, and that it
stops people from spending time with
their families and friends.I admire the boy I debated against
because he was very skillful. He made
some quite reasonable points and gave
a good speech. I talked to him after the
debate. He seemed tired too. He doesn’t
really think the Internet is bad, but he
thinks we should pay attention to the
problems it can cause. I agreed and told
him I felt sure that if we use it in an
intelligent manner, the Internet can be
a good tool.We were both happy with the outcome
of the debate. People stayed silent
and listened to us, and applauded at the
end. Mum predicts that I will become
quite a good public speaker if I continue
to take part in debates. I am hopeful
that I will, and I am eager to debate
again because today proved very
successful!B Answers:
