i mean public speaking skills; being able to speak confidently infront of a live audience
I wouldnt post publicly parts of your personal statement, as it could trigger UCAS's anti-cheating systems.

thats why i wanted to know does this sound right?
It sounds like you got some diploma to be a professional public speaker, rather than just gained knowledge and not being scared to speak publicly tbh

In your debate club, did you ever organise events or take part in any competitions? If you have notable achievements, you could add them in. Be careful with your choice of wording or waffling to make your CV longer. If you want to use the word "admirable" or "laudable". how can you prove this?

Make sure your CV is brief and to the point, listing your key skills. You could also look into other things such as volunteering or other extracurriculars to show more skills to employers.
