SPANISH DEBATE

On Thursday 26th January myself, Eve Beckford, Swetha Selvarajan and Shreya Mehta were given the opportunity to participate in the North Schools’ Modern Languages Debating Competition for Spanish. The topics for the debate were ‘Digital technology is making young peoples’ lives better’, ‘Simple is better than complex’ and ‘Religion has a key role in modern society’.

Shreya and I argued in favour of ‘Simple is better than complex’, securing a win in our debate and Eve and Swetha argued against ‘Simple is better than complex’ using very complex ideas and language structures resulting in a very successful debate. We had a wonderful evening whereby we were able to make the most of our speaking skills and of course, we also put our Spanglish to the test whilst disfrutando the delicious comida that the kitchen staff provided us with! We would also like to say muchas gracias to Sra Wagstaffe and Srta Noya for accompanying us.
