Polite phrases make your points stronger. Open with “Respected judges, worthy opponents and dear friends…”. Rebut with “With respect, the last speaker missed an important point.” Give evidence with “According to our school survey…”. Close with “For all these reasons, I urge you to support the motion” and “I beg to propose” (or “I beg to oppose”). Never insult — “You clearly know nothing” loses marks.
