I haven't done a debate before. I'm on the affirmative for my debate, which is that Melbourne is better than Sydney. I need a bit of help with it. In fact, if possible, I could use a little rough draft. I'm 3rd speaker affirmative. Here is some info from the 1st and 2nd speakers respectively. 1st is doing sport, and 2nd is doing culture. This is all you can use, my teacher says that the 3rd speaker only summarizes what has been said. Please write a 3 minute speech to make way for 1 minute of rebuttals. Please don't give 'tips' or whatever, see my email address at the bottom, and send an attachment. Bad answers will be ignored.

Melbourne is better than Sydney. This is because Melbourne has more accomplished sportsmen, a better port and a better environmental state.
Today Bryce, Geevan and myself will show you why Melbourne is much better than Sydney. I will start off by showing you why Sydney isn’t quite up to scratch with its sport and why Melbourne is geographically better than Sydney. Then Geevan will show you Melbourne’s cultural superiority. Then Bryce will review our argument while pointing out all the flaws in our opponents case. My team and I have defined this topic to mean Melbourne in Australia is superior or has better quality than Sydney in Australia.
Melbourne has a proud history of sport and apart from creating A.F.L.; Australia's national game, Melbourne was the first Australian city to host the Olympic games. Melbourne also hosted the first test cricket match. Meanwhile Sydney have been disgraceful, especially in recent times, with the Cronnula sharks sex scandals, and even more recently the Sydney Rooster’s player, Nate Myles, who was found naked and drunk in a hotel corridor after defecating in it. There have been 3 similar incidents in the last 3 weeks. Sydney has also had Barry Hall, who currently holds the A.F.L. record for most games missed by suspension, 26.
Melbourne host the Australian open and the Kooyong classic as well as the Melbourne spring racing carnival and the Melbourne cup. The M.C.G. is much better than the tiny S.C.G. and it can hold twice as many people. The Melbourne soccer team won the grand final last year and the Victorian cricket team won the Sheffield shield, state crickets 4-day competition.
I will now take a moment to name a few sportsmen from Melbourne to show its greatness, Shane Warne, Dean Jones and Keith Miller represented cricket. Pat Cash was the Wimbledon champion in 1987 and some great Aussie rules players from Melbourne were Kevin Sheedy, Shane Crawford, Billy Picken and John Coleman. Not to mention Australia's best current basketballer Andrew Bogut.
Melbourne is a lot more practical than Sydney as well. No huge harbor and winding roads, but the biggest port in Australia and a grid layout. Sure Sydney has the harbor for all of its natural beauty, but it makes getting around a very difficult job. And what about the environmental impact? Sydney is the most polluted capital city in Australia.
2nd Speaker:
Hi I am Jeevan and I will be talking about the Cultural side of Melbourne and its benefits. But first, my rebuttals.
Melbourne is indisputably the artistic and cultural capital of Australia. It may be even fair to say the cultural capital of the Southern Hemisphere.
Every day of every year is filled with arts festivals, gallery showings, live theatre seasons and musical extravaganzas, in fact, the City hosts more than 300 events each year.
Whether it’s a rock concert, an art exhibition, opera or a symphony performance you desire, you will find it in Melbourne. It has many cultural institutions, such as museums and galleries, events and festivals, public and street art, film and fashion. There are more than 100 museums in Melbourne.
Melbourne was in fact the temporary capital of Australia from the start of the Federation in 1901 until Canberra was ready to house the federal government that moved to Canberra in 1927.
Since 2002 Melbourne has been consistently ranked among the world's most liveable cities by the Economist, and is characterized by the many ethnic groups that today live in relative multicultural harmony. The city celebrates a wide variety of major annual cultural events from local to national and international events.
There are many local traditions in Melbourne like the Royal Melbourne show & the Anzac day parade to the shrine of remembrance. The Melbourne cup day is not a local but has become an international event reflecting old culture and tradition.
The Australian Ballet is based in Melbourne. The National Theatre in St Kilda is the oldest ballet school in Australia. Ballet regularly features at the Victorian Arts Centre and the National Theatre.
Melbourne is a centre for arts, commerce, education, industry, sports and tourism. It has shown a lot of multiculturalism. There are a number of cultural festivals which celebrate foreign cultures in the context of t
