how do you write a debate speech ?
I have to write against violent video games. I am unsure where to start.
What tecniques do i need to use to get a hight level and how do i use them?
What good vocabulary can i use to make me sound mature?

Well, my debates are usually in irish, but i'll try to help.
first off, what i do, is i make out a list of pros and cons for the subject (i don't know the english for that word but the irish is rún)
pro
they get rid of our violence so we won't take it out on others.
con
they make us want to take our violence out on others
i would try to get at least two main points, but no more than four.
your format should be like this
"A very good afternoon to madame chairperson, acurate timekeeper, worthy apponents, honourable judges and members of the floor....." or something like that for the start.
then you should give a general outline of what you and your team will be talking about (but only if you are the first speaker) and then you should say your points, and finish, easy enough! also for the vocab. thing a good thing to do is to get a thesis, write the debate, and then use the thesis to get 'fancier' words. hope it helped
You are too young but if you can find old SNL skits from the 70s Checy Chase and Jane Curtain would have this fake debate "Point Counter Point". Jane would make her point, then Chevy Chase would start his rebuttal, "Jane you ignorant slut..." It always got the laugh
