After I decided stop debating in some months ago, I am used to believing that I will go to another world, writing!

“Writing is The activity or occupation of composing text for publication

That’s what Oxford Dictionary says. To me, writing is ‘complex thing’.

A lot of people say that speaking is hard to be learned, everyone always feel that speaking in front of many people is very difficult. They afraid and don’t have courage to stand up in front of audience moreover start to speak up.

They are them, not me. I don’t know whether it’s anugerah or whatever, I love to speak in front of people. Since I was child, I was the first person who put my hand up in order to answer the question of teachers. I would answer the question and told a story without any nervous or embarrassment. I also ever be a master of ceremony in big event when I was in 2^nd elementary school and it would’ve continued until  now.

Yes, I do love speaking. My starting point for using my preference in speaking is joining debate class. I used to make my speech was in structure and systematically speaking. I made it by reading a lot of newspaper, non-fiction book, research a million matter, etc. I do love this action and have joined some competitions.

Not to mention I left debate, but this is my time to change my way.

To be Writer…

Writing is more difficult than I thought in advance. To be speaker is easier than we need to make something that’s written systematically. Maybe everyone will think when we have been able to speak so it will be easy for us to write. But writing is different, especially to be great writer. Make it systematic writing is different with speak systematically like debating.

Debate is an activity when someone argue their opinion in different idea and there will be an opposition side that will oppose the idea of someone. The goal of debate is making every people agree about or opinion so we have to ensure them by arguing systematic and logically.

That is my definition even Oxford says that:

Whatever the definition, I am sure that I’m a part of people that love this activity. Debate that I mean here is Parliamentary Debate that is for competition where we argue all of our argument in English and there’s role of doing the debate.

Parliamentary debate generally consists by  2 kind of debate (1) Asian/Australian Debate;  consists 3 people in each team who debate with another team as opposition side. This type also divide to Asian Parliamentary Debate that permit point of interruption and  Australian Parliamentary Debate which is not (2) British Parliamentary Debate; consists 2 people in each team with 2 team under pros side who battle with 2 team as opposition side.

I studied debate since I was 2^nd grade of Senior High School in English Club. I meet with great coach, named Mr. Edy Darmawan. He can make me  and my friend debate professionally even by the time I and all my friend could not speak English well. You can imagine that it’s hard to study Parliamentary Debate with low capability in speaking English or even did debate systematically as Great Debater
