Club Activity in My University. As I wrote in the previous notebook, I am a member of debate section in ESS( What ESS is like is also written in the previous notebook). By the say, what kind of images on debate do you have? "Debate" which I refer to here isn't usual debate in daily life. If you live in the English-speaking world, you may know debate as sports.

I'd like to stop this tendency, but sadly, my ability to use English isn't so good. I want to improve.
