The first thing I learned from these mini debates is how to find reliable information and facts in a short period of time.

Another thing I learned from debating with another person in a short period of time is to think quickly to form an opinion to bounce back, which added difficulty since on many occasions I did not disagree with their argument.

Something else I learned was more detailed information about why alcohol is bad, as well as why one should volunteer and the pros and cons of having a job at 16 years old.

The first thing I learned is that when arguing, it's important to paraphrase what your opponent is saying rather than writing word for word.
Another thing I learned is that you should skim through articles, and when something catches my eye or helps my argument, I will write it down. It saves time when trying to find evidence for your argument.
Something else I learned is that it is important to use reliable sources because it helps your argument sound more believeable or just better. Also, it makes your evidence more reliable because your argument flows better and you aren't spreading false information.

I learned that the more you have facts ready the more prepared you are and even reading other facts can help you think of other points to make as you're going. This can be a skill you can build to be used in arguments. This can this can also help you remember little things. This is a skill useful for the future and jobs. As I researched the things I am going to debate about, like how healthy some little things you can do everyday can really improve your performances, like reading for 20 minutes each day. You can really expand a lot of your knowledge with 20 minutes of a few pages everyday. Another thing I learned is that there is a almost a bad side for everything good. For example, using disposable bottles like it can be coinvent, but it is harmful to the environment, it can be recycled but it can be harmful with the chemicals getting emitted in the air.
