ESU Debates
The English Speaking Union (ESU) debating competition,which is one of the most prestigious,international debating contest,is all the rage in Karachi schools these days.The auditions are being held in each school respectively and the regional debates will be held on the 22nd of March 2005.Karachi being the headquarter,gets to present 6 best debators,while Lahore and Islamabad will be represented by 2 each.The National debates will be held on the 23rd of this month and two best speakers,male and female,will be representing Pakistan in London on the 13th of May 2005.*sigh* What I wouldn’t do for an all expense paid adventure of this sort..but *sigh* Best of luck to the karachites! Hope you kick some arse!
in school days i had the chance to represent my school in the ESU public speaking competition for the years ’99 and 2000. the ’99 event was the one where sidra iqbal emerged as the winner and went on to make us proud in england :)
i must say, it was one hell of an experience!
I am from the present batch of the school Sidra did her A levels from.I was chosen among the two people who could represent Lecole in the regional debates but then the guy opposing me won.Nevertheless,it was fun preparing the debate.I hope Pakistan wins this time too:)
