What is the debating we did?

What is the debating? As we know, debating is that each side team discusses about one topic and convinces what they are thinking about, what their argument is to audience. It is hard to prepare to debate because we have to guess their main point and what they are going to ask to us, and how we can break their argument. We have to find their weak point in the topic. We have to spent many time to prepare for debating. However, during our debating, we did not have enough time to debate. I thought that we spent many time, but it was very short and was hard to judge who is better. I felt sad not debating more. However, it was a great experience what debating is for me. I will debate again in the future, and I know how to debate. It will be better than now.
