Article: Sometimes your opponent will offer a related argument or piece of evidence that doesn’t quite match up with what their stance should be. This can be tricky to catch since their argument may seem on topic; however, they have to prove their stance on the issue at hand, not a related point. For example, let’s say your argument is that peanuts should not be allowed in schools to protect students who are allergic. If your opponent argues that peanuts are a healthy snack and a source of protein, their argument would not be relevant because they had to show that peanuts could be allowed on campus without endangering those who are allergic. Look for a weak link in your opponent’s logical jumps between their stance, their points, or their evidence. Point out the reasons why this logical leap does not make sense. For example, if your opponent argues that 50% of students requested that peanuts be allowed in schools so banning it infringes on their rights, you could argue that there is no logic there because access to peanuts is not a right. With this strategy, you can acknowledge that your opponent’s argument sounds good but that it’s flawed because they are assuming the wrong conclusion about their points.  For example, if your opponent argued that people who are allergic to peanuts would be safe as long as peanuts were always labeled, you could point out that your opponent was assuming that people only experience a peanut allergy if they eat them. You could then point out that some people are triggered by peanut protein on other people or surfaces. Similarly, you could concede part of the argument but then counter that something else is more important. For example, peanut butter is an inexpensive protein option that is easy for students to eat on the go, but the lives of students who are allergic are more important than convenience. With this strategy, you can acknowledge that their argument addresses the issue but doesn’t fix anything. Because their argument fails to make a difference on the topic, your argument should prevail. For example, your opponent could offer a counter-plan that students be able to eat peanuts at an outdoor table. However, you could then point out that the peanut residue could still harm students who are allergic, leaving the problem unsolved. Sometimes your opponent will offer two arguments that work together to make a stronger argument. If one or more of their arguments depend on one base argument being true, then you can address all of them at once. For example, if your opponent argues that banning peanuts infringes on students' rights thereby causing them to fear authority, you could defeat the whole argument by showing that students' rights are not being violated by the peanut policy. Sometimes there are two good arguments against you that contradict themselves or the point of the topic. If your opponent makes the mistake of using these contradictory arguments, use that against them in your rebuttal. For example, your opponent may argue that the number of students who bring peanuts to school is low, so there is little risk in allowing them. If they also argue that peanuts should be allowed because a majority of students want them, then this could be pointed out as a contradiction. Your opponent may have an argument that could solve the issue but isn’t really feasible because of money, time, lack or resources, public opinion, or any other logical reason you can think of. If this is the case, you can use this lack of practicality in your rebuttal to undermine their position. For example, your opponent could suggest that schools designate a peanut containment area where people could store and eat peanuts, with a handwashing station at the exit. While this would allow peanuts while protecting those who are allergic, it would also be costly and impractical to implement. If you have time at the end of your rebuttal, you can address the examples they gave to back up their argument, such as anecdotes, analogies, or historical facts. Pick out their poorest examples and explain to the judge why they are weak or why they don’t support the opponent’s argument.  For example, you could point out that anecdotes can be made up, or why an analogy doesn’t work. Start with the weakest example and continue until you have just enough time to sum up your rebuttal and offer your concluding statement.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Show that your opponent’s arguments or evidence are not relevant. Break the logical links in your opponent’s argument. Argue that your opponent has made a false assumption. Undermine the impact of the opponent’s argument. Attack the base argument if more than one is offered. Point out contradictions. Show why their argument isn’t practical. Address their examples last.
Article: Wicketkeepers need to have all around good strength, stamina, and agility. You need to incorporate a mix of things like running, weight training, and agility drills into your exercise routines to get in shape to be a good wicketkeeper.  Cricket games can go on for a really long time, so it’s important that you have the strength and endurance to last a whole match. The number of days you should train per week will depend on the level of cricket you are playing and how much time you have. In general, 3-4 personal training sessions a week is a good goal. Do something like 4-5 sets of 40 m (130 ft) sprints during every running session. Rest for short amounts of time, about 15 seconds, in between each sprint.  Wicketkeepers have to stand still while waiting for deliveries, then all of a sudden dive or jump for the ball. Doing cardio exercises like sprints helps replicate the sudden bursts of fast movement that you will need to use as a wicketkeeper. Do sprint training drills every personal training session that you do during the week. Do a set of something like regular squats or lunges followed by a set of box jumps or jump squats. Alternating these types of exercises will build your muscles and allow you to make explosive movements during cricket matches.  Wicketkeepers have to make the same kinds of repetitive explosive movements as boxers and tennis players, such as launching themselves long distances to catch a ball. Incorporate power exercises and strength training into each of your personal training sessions. Do things like Russian twists, medicine ball throws, and other ab exercises to develop your core strength. This will allow you to perform rotation movements and dive with more ease.   Planks are another good exercise you can do to build your core stability. Work some core exercises into every personal training session that you do during the week.

Do a mix of strength and cardio exercises to get in shape. Perform repetitive sprint training drills to build your stamina. Alternate power exercises and strength training to build explosive strength. Work on developing your core to help you dive and twist around.
Article: The surface should be completely flat and level, like a floor or table. Choose something as large or larger than the garment you plan to iron, if possible. It should also be at a comfortable height and near an electrical outlet to plug in your iron. Even if you cover it with fabric, the surface itself should still be heat-resistant. Choose something made from wood, tile, or metal, if possible. Avoid anything made from plastic, which could be melted from the heat of the iron. Never iron directly on the surface! Cover it with heat-resistant fabric, first. Choose a heat-resistant fabric, like linen, wool, or canvas, to do your ironing on. You could also use a thick terry cloth towel or even a flannel blanket. Avoid using delicate fabrics, like lace or rayon, which could be scorched or melted. Plug in and heat the iron to the setting recommended on the garment’s care tag. Carefully iron the garment, checking every so often to be sure the fabric and surface do not get too hot. Never leave your iron unattended or laying face down. Be sure to turn off and unplug the iron when you are finished. Wait until the iron has cooled completely before storing it, and take care not to trip over the cord.
