Debate lesson 21: Summarising a GD · Set 18 · 40 questions

Debater's tip (Short, balanced, nothing new): Order: restate the topic → points in favour → points against → where we agreed. Good: both sides, the main points, short and clear, neutral, key facts, a clear last line. Poor: only your view, a new point, a long repeat of everything, leaving out a side, blaming others.
