The opening statement will introduce the topic of the argument and should include the following elements:

a hook that grabs the attention of the audience
a presentation of the topic of the speech
a thesis statement that will note a clear purpose or message of the speech
The closing statement helps bring the debate to an end and should include the following elements:

a reminder of the purpose of the debate
a summary of the main points made during the debate
a note on why your argument is better than your opponent's argument
Remember, no new arguments should be presented in the closing statement.

Answer 2

I don’t want to give you the answer but I will help you out :)

Firstly, what is your stance on it? Then you can write the paragraphs. It seems like you already have an outline, so just write out a base sentence for each of them. Then you can go back and reword it. You’ll also need about a sentence or two in the first paragraph to state some of your evidence for your point.
Your thesis statement will be something like “People often face internal conflict far more frequently than external conflict in their daily lives.” Or vise versa if you hold and opposing position.

Also, make sure you restate your thesis statement and your points in the last paragraph. For your final sentence you will want something that can “move” the audience. Feel free to be a little dramatic. :)

Hope this helps!
