Linguists Debate
Six Year 13 linguists represented the Girls’ Division at the annual MFL North West Debating Competition. They debated ‘Brexit is the answer’, ‘Give me knowledge not money’, ‘Numbers are better than letters’ and ‘We need to halt the progress of technology’ – all challenging topics, and all the more interesting in a foreign language! Isobel Birtwhistle and Ashleigh Meech debated in French, Ruchika Sharma and Eleanor Winters in German, and Aleena Dhokia and Victoria Cramer in Spanish. They all did an excellent job, in particular the Spanish team who made it all the way to the semi-final and narrowly missed beating their opposition in a “Brexit” head-to-head.
