      On
      top
      |
     
     
      of
      all
      this,
      debating
      is
      a
      lot
      of
      fun.
      You
      will
      meet
      new
     
     
      people,
      and
      you
      have
      an
      opportunity
      for
      travel.
      You
     
     
      need
      never
      have
      spoken
      in
      public
      before.
     
    

    
     
      The
      ability
      to
      speak
      well
      in
      public
      is
      a
      definite
     
     
      asset
      in
      many
      courses
      and
      programs
      at
      university.
      It
      is
     
     
      also
      a
      valuable
      skill
      to
      many
      potential
      employers.
      So
     
     
      why
      not
      take
      an
      hour
      or
      so
      a
      week
      to
      improve
     
     
      yourself
      in
      a
      very
      important
      area,
      and
      gain
      a
      skill
      that
     
     
      is
      an
      asset
      to
      any
      educated
      person.
      Don’t
      sell
      yourself
     
     
      short
      -
      you
      can
      do
      it!
      All
      it
      takes
      is
      the
      determination
     
     
      to
      learn
      to
      conquer
      your
      fear
      of
      speaking
      before
      an
     
     
      audience.
      The
      Society
      meets
