Email 2: Write an email to the president of the club (120–150 words).

Dear Club President,

I am writing to suggest two important benefits of learning debate and public speaking that could help attract new members to our club.

Firstly, debate training significantly improves critical thinking skills. Members learn how to analyze problems from different perspectives, build strong arguments, and respond logically to opposing views. These skills are extremely useful in academic studies and professional environments.

Secondly, public speaking helps individuals build confidence. Many people are afraid of speaking in front of others, but regular practice in our club can help them overcome this fear and express their ideas clearly and effectively.

By highlighting these two benefits, the club can attract more students who want to improve both their thinking and communication skills.

I hope these suggestions will be helpful for promoting our club.
