Observation

As the main speaker in a debate, the candidate was required to write his/her argument for or against the motion: “Children of literate parents perform better in school than those of illiterate parents.”

This was not a popular question before the candidates. Many of the candidates struggled to convincingly express their views on the motion. Some of the candidates wrote on illiterate/literate children instead of literate/illiterate parents. However, most candidates got the vocatives right.
