Sample writing: The class had a debate and discussed whether it is right for whoever finds valuable cultural relics to keep them.

Those who agreed that if you find cultural relics you can keep them had three reasons. First, they said that time and money had been spent looking for them so the finders deserved them. Second, they said nobody would look for lost relics if they could not keep them. Third, they said that there are so many old relics that it does not matter if one or two belong to those who find them.

Those who disagreed also had three reasons. First, they said all cultural relics are valuable for finding out about the past. Second, they said that it is dishonest to take things that do not belong to you. Third, they said that every cultural relic belongs to the country and not any one person.

We had a class vote. Those who disagreed with the question won. The debate changed the minds of some people who had originally supported Johann Weber’s ideas.
