It's now time to apply some of your newfound knowledge of debating. first, think of and identify a topic that you feel strongly about but that not everyone agrees with. now, develop the main points you would base your side of the debate on into statements and/or paragraphs. be sure to anticipate any counter arguments that a potential opponent would present. be clear, be concise, and be logical.

The topic is football. I like football though many people don't. I think it's the best sport ever. Football is one of the first sports ever invented. I don't just say that either I have proof. I like football because I like to play and watch it. Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears. Sports commonly called 'football' in certain places include: association football (known as soccer in some countries); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby football (either rugby league or rugby union); and Gaelic football. These different variations of football are known as football codes.
