Thank you Mr. Speaker. A very good morning I bid to the eminent house keeper, esteem time keeper, ever fair and square adjudicators, our worthy opponents, my fellow comrades and ladies and gentlemen of the April house.Mr. Speaker, the motion before the house today is This House Believes In Studying Smart To Excel In Examinations. Before I put forward my case today, please allow me to define some of the important terms in todays motion. We, the Government team had defined study as the devotion of time and attention to acquire knowledge on an academic subject, especially by means of books. Smart on the other hand, is defined as having or showing a quick-witted intelligence and excel as exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject. While examination is defined as a formal test of a person's knowledge or proficiency in a particular subject or skill. In the nutshell, the definition of todays motion reads as This house have faith in devoting time and attention to acquire knowledge intelligently to surpass an assessment. Mr. Speaker, this motion must not be passed for the following reasons:1. The time spent on studying.2. The knowledge retained after studying.3. Studying smart alleviate stress. I will be addressing the first point. My 2nd speaker from the Government team will address the second and third points, while my 3rd speaker will rebut the issues brought forward by the opposition team.I turn now to the Oppositions first argument against this motion. We, the government team believe that studying smart will save time. This is due to studying smart provides students with easier and effective techniques, for instance, making short notes, using acronyms and utilize mind-maps. Teaching what one have learned to others is another good technique of studying smart. Research found that spending five minutes explaining a concept can save an hour of combined studying for the same effect. Furthermore, recognizing study methods will also ease the study process for the students. There are basically four types of learners, it is visual learners, auditory learners, emotional learners, and kinesthetic learners. When the students can identify their study method, they will study using the technique which they feel effective for them. To wrap up my arguments, by teaching others and recognizing study methods ,the students are able to save time and this will enable them to complete other task when they already master their academic subjects through studying smart. That, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the oppositions first argument.Mr. Speaker, you have heard from me why we do not agree with todays motion.There is no denying that studying smart to excel in examinations.
