Hey there, are you ready for an exciting contest where you get to debate and decide between two options? Get ready to showcase your persuasive skills and convince me why your choice is better. A debate is a discussion or argument where people present their opinions, arguments, and evidence on a specific topic. It's like a friendly battle of words where each side tries to convince a judge that their viewpoint is the stronger one. It's a great way to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from different perspectives. Hence, this contest is based on this idea. |

**The Contest**

| |--| It's all about presenting your arguments, giving us your opinions, and perspectives, and having a friendly debate. For the contest, I will be giving you two options for you to convince me of the better one and why you think your option is better. So are you ready? If yes, let the "this or that" contest begin. |

**Your Debate for this week**

It's a clash of traditional paper pages and digital screens, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Therefore, I would like you to share your opinion on the pros and cons of each format to understand which one reigns supreme when it comes to absorbing and remembering what we read. Giving account of; * The one you prefer and why? * Which format helps you focus better and remember what you read? * The advantages and disadvantages of both types * Which format helps you avoid distractions while reading and how? * Which is better for the environment? --- |
