This is very important. If you already know the debate topic that you are going to debate on, learn as much about it as you can. Research on it and then form opinions about it. Only if you know something in and out, will you be able to talk convincingly on it.

When you are putting your point in front of your opponents as well as the audience, be sure of yourself. Along with the words, your body language, voice modulation (语调) and eye contact, will play a major part in your success in debating. 【3】

Give real life examples.

While debating, make use of very simple language, which your audience can understand very easily. Give as many real examples as you can when making a point. 【4】 Thus, the judges and audience will find you much more convincing.

Be descriptive.

To win any debate, there is something about the human mind that you should be aware of.
