A: It’s better for you to tell the original story. If you really need to change some details, make sure it will not influence the whole story or change the important content and message of the story.
5.      Q: (from the DEBATE competition, not the real question) Regarding the motion: THW Ban Smoking in Indonesia; what is the meaning of ‘ban’? What form of ‘ban’ is meant in the motion? Why in Indonesia?
A: ‘Ban’ is to prohibit / stop something to happen. We couldn’t give you the exact and complete answer for your other questions because the answers to these questions are actually the ones expected to be brought in your debate later. Our suggestion is, try to do a research about this motion by typing some words from the motion in the search engine, and start building your simple case.
The questions about motions that will be kindly answered by the CA and DCAs are questions about word definition that you might not know because perhaps the word(s) are rarely used.
