== Here are (scripts?) that you may/can use for presenting your argument in a debate (This' only an example, and I believe that you may have your own style, so just use this to help you to create your own speech) ==


An example opening for the 1st Affirmative speaker:

Assalaamu’alaikum, www
Ladies and gentlemen, our motion today is that:………………………………………………………………
What we mean by ……………………………. is that …………………… and …………………………………………… is that…………………., so as a whole definition of our motion today, we can say it as: ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
(Or alternatively we can scope the motion to be: …………………………………………………………………………………………………………)

Ladies and gentlemen, we believe that this motion exists because of a (some) cause/s. And the basic reason or cause for existence of this motion is because ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
Because of that fact/the cases, ladies and gentlemen, our team stands on the motion today ………………………………………………… because of (….) reasons. The first reason, ……………………………………………., will be spoken by me, myself. The second (+the third), ………………………………….., will be delivered to you by……………… Our team’s last member, …………………………………….., will conclude our team’s arguments and …………………………………….. will deliver the reply speech at the end of our argument.
OK, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you the first argument from our team that is .............................. (Assertion, reasoning, evidence, link back--- to link back, you can say: so, …………. Or To sump up, …………………)


An example for the 1st Negative speaker:

Ladies and gentlemen, the 1st speaker from the affirmative team said that the cause of why their motion stands today is because of that ……………………………………………………………………………….. However, in our point of view, their reason is not logic because ……………………………………………………
Because of that, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to say that (motion in negative sentence).
We are from the negative team has …. reasons to against the motion from the affirmative team. The first reason is that ……………………….., and this argument will be spoken by me, my self. The second reason (+3rd), ………………………………………….., will be spoken by …………………….. Later …. (name of the last group member) will conclude our arguments, and …….. will give a reply speech as the final speech from our team.

Ladies and gentlemen, (motion in negative sentence) because …………………….. (Assertion, reasoning, evidence, link back---- to link back, you can say: so, …………. Or To sump up, ………………… ) === no more rebuttal after arguments

An example for the 2nd affirmative speaker:

Ladies and gentlemen, the first speaker from the negative team said that ……………………………. Unfortunately, she/he fails to convince us because ……………………………… (alternatively, Unfortunately, their arguments is not logic because ……………………………………) ==== you can choose the way you want to rebut. === or you can also use your 1st speaker argument to strengthen your rebut.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………. (after finishing rebut, you then present your argument)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, come to our 2nd our argument now, (say the motion) because …………………….. (Assertion, reasoning, evidence, link back, to link back, you can say: so, …………. Or To sump up, …………………) === no more rebuttal after arguments

An example for the 2nd negative speaker:

Ladies and gentlemen, the positive team said that ………………………….. (Arguments from 1st and 2nd speaker from the affirmative that you want to rebut). But, their arguments are illogical because ………………………… (Do your rebuttal) ==== you can choose the way you want to rebut. === or you can also use your 1st speaker argument to strengthen your rebut.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………. (after finishing your rebuttal, you then present your argument)
Well, ladies and gentlemen, come to our 2nd argument now, (say the motion in negative) because …………………….. (Assertion, reasoning, evidence, link back, to link back, you can say: so, …………. Or To sump up, …………………) === no more rebuttal after arguments


An example for the 3rd affirmative speaker:

Ladies and gentlemen, the 1st arguments from the negative team had been rebut by the 2nd speaker from our team, however, I would like to add some more points about the argument that is …………………………………………………….
And the 2nd speaker from the negative team said that …………………………………, however I’d like to rebut it because ……………………………………………………………………………. (here you rebut all arguments from the negative team and ‘serang balik terhadap rebut yang telah mereka lakukan terhadap pembicara pertama dan kedua dari you team’) ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
(then continue your speech by stressing your previous arguments)
As what the 1st and 2nd speaker from our team said before, we stands in this motion because ……………………………….. (You can strengthen your team arguments here)
To sump up, I’d like to say that ………………………… and we are from the affirmative team keep standing on our motion today that is …………………..

An example for the 3rd negative speaker:

Ladies and gentlemen, the 3rd speaker from the affirmative team said that ………………………. However, her/his points are irrelevant/illogical-not logic because ………………………………………
(you can totally rebut)
The 1st and 2nd speaker from our team said that we can’t stand on the motion given by the affirmative team because …………………………………………………………………………………………………
(You can strengthen the arguments from your team here)
So, ladies and gentlemen, we keep in the position to against the motion given by the affirmative team.

An example for reply speech from negative team:

Ladies and gentlemen, for the motion from the affirmative team today, ……………………………………………, the affirmative team comes with ………… reasons that are: ………………. and …………….. Unfortunately the affirmative team fails to convince us because their arguments are not logic as said by our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd speaker. The 1st arguments from the affirmative was …………….., but this arguments was successfully rebut by our 1st speaker that ……………….. also, for the 2nd argument from the affirmative team, ……………….., was strongly rebut by our team that …………………………….. (You can emphasis ‘bagaimana your team telah sukses me-rebut semua arguments dari team positive, or you bisa sebutkan point2 you yang kuat sehingga argument mereka menjadi lemah’)

For the case of our team’s position, our team had strongly emphasized that the motion should not stand because of ….. reasons that are ……………………. and ……………. For these reasons the affirmative team fails to rebut our arguments. They talked about …………… to rebut our ….. reasons, but their rebut is not logic because …………………………………….. (you can say here ‘semua argument you gagal di-rebut oleh affirmative)
So, because the affirmative team fails to rebut our arguments while their arguments fails to convince us, we keep in our position to against the motion. We would like to keep saying that , ……………………………………………. (motion in negative form)

An example for reply speech from affirmative team:

Ladies and gentlemen, for the motion today, ……………………………………………, we, as the affirmative team come with ………… reasons that are: ………………. and …………….. And during our debate today, the negative team fails to against our motion because they could not present logic rebuts for our arguments (you can say here ‘semua kegagalan team negative dalam me-rebut your argument)
For the case of negative’s team arguments, our team had rebut their arguments suceesfully. For example, their … reason, that is, ………….. . however, this point has been rebut by our … speaker. …………………………….. (You can emphasis ‘bagaimana your team telah sukses me-rebut semua arguments dari team negative, or you bisa sebutkan point2 you yang kuat sehingga argument mereka menjadi lemah’)

So, until the end of our debate today, we are from the affirmative team, keep stand in the motion that …………………………….. because the negative team fails to against our motion and our arguments.

== Good luck ==
