We had the first competition with Dokuz
Eyluel University team from Turkey. Ms Okawa and Mr. Higuchi argued as
councels of the respondant. In front of three arbitrators, two teams took
seets against each other. On team represent a claiment and the other represent
a respondent. Two houers are applyed for the debate. We think that it was
a little difficult for us to argue with them well at the first. |

We had the second competition with
Pittsuburgh University team. Ms Okawa and Mr. Higuti argued as councels
of the claiment. Because we met the student from Pittsuburg University

we were accustumed to argue with. |
