We on the affirmative side believe that hard work does not equal success.
1. First, there are many products throughout history which became successful out of luck and not due to hard work.
2. Conversely, throughout Coca-Colas history they have launched new products after lots of hard work to only encounter massive failure.
3. Lastly, even if one works hard success is not guaranteed due to the variable of time.

I would want to live in a city. Because it's surrounded by
tall buildings.
There is a lots of people in the city and restaurant too. But
living in a city can be sick because it has a bad air like a
car, engine, or trucks like that.
Being in inside the city, parks can be intersting.
When you go out, you can see cars and bikes move and if
you opened the car window you can hear birds chirp an
motorcycle roaring. Moreover, I like eating ice cream, too.
So, that's why I would want to live in a city.
There is a lots of people in

But living in a city can be

Motion Main Ideas
This house believes that the
government should regulate all
advertisements to verify the claims
made about a *product or *idea.
1. First, the government must verify the
statistics used in advertisements.
2. Secondly, the government must verify the
claims made by the advertisers.
3. Lastly, the government must verify the
credentials of the experts and celebrities
who shill for certain products or ideas.
-
37
Transcription
886720 I think governments should not regulate advertisements for some
reasons. Firstly, advertisements give people a lot of information.
For example, they can sell something new for people and they can
give tips in daily life. Secondly, they help make up people's minds.
If people can't buy what they want, they lose credibility to buy
something new. Lastly, you said they give misleading statistics and
they make false claims. But when people watch or see an
advertisement, they'll surely consider credibility and suspect an
exaggeration. In this reasons, I think governments should not
regulate advertisements.

Mr. Speaker and fellow debaters. We
on the affirmative side believe that
fast-food advertisements should not
be allowed on TV.
1. the constant repetition of advertisements
brainwashes children
2. when children watch these commercials,
they constantly nag their parents
3. *fast-food contributes to child obesity and
therefore the advertisements of this food
should be banned to *prevent the continual
rise of the child obesity rate and early death
due to obesity

Transcription
889895 No, fast... fast food can advertisements. First, fast/fat food is just
customer's choice. For example, when I want to eat fast food, we
can give money to them and eat. But that not companies' fault.
They know fast food is bad but they eat it, so
theres/theyres/theirs fault. Second, fast food can easy to eat. Its
comfortable and it needs just short times. It is easy to eat. In
conclusion, I talk about fast food advertisement should not be
allowed on TV.

Correct Rationale
889895 Claim 2 Claim: The student 's claim is just unclear, but it is not irrelevant.
Support 1: This support is relevant
to the idea that fast food can be
allowed/should be allowed to
advertise.
Support 2: The support does not
clearly relate to the idea that fast
food should advertise. The student
talks about fast food being
convenient to eat.

Motion Main Ideas
We on the affirmative side believe
that success stems from the
influence of ones family.
This house believes that ones family
history is the biggest factor for
success.
1. First, if we look at many successful people in
the world, we will see that it was their
nurturing families in early childhood which
were the first to influence them and put
them on the path to success
2. Secondly, many people are successful due to
the success their parents had before them
3. Lastly, parents make decisions on behalf of
their children which in turn can influence
their success later in life
-

Transcription
970316 ..dont think that family history is the biggest factor for the
success. Because firstly, if you just try hard, we do not need family
history. Because the family history exactly you don't need it. And I
think try harder, trying harder is more important than family
history. And also secondly, they says that family history equals the
DNA but one's smarts, smartness is more important than the
familys DNA.
