Last week, our class had a debate about how to improve our school.
Some students were enthusiastic about new technology, while others were more conservative and wanted to keep things as they are.
One group suggested a revolutionary idea: replacing all textbooks with tablets.
This was a significant change, and many teachers were against it at first.
However, some students were in favour of the plan because they thought it would be more effective for learning.
A few even proposed a radical shift to online-only classes, which most people did not approve of.
I had to think long and hard about my own opinion.
I tried not to just follow others but to think for myself.
When I was asked to speak, I had to think on my feet and explain why I support a balance between old and new methods.
My friend Tom often talks to himself when he thinks aloud, but he couldn't think straight because he was too nervous.
In the end, our teacher said that being keen to try innovative ideas is good, but we should also respect different viewpoints.
The debate taught me that it is important to consider all sides before making a decision.
