At the first meeting of the student union held by Liao Fanmin, there was only one topic to be discussed, and that was to organize a debate competition for the 97th class of the University of South China.

In fact, this is not a suggestion made by the student union, but a direct suggestion or decision made by the school leaders and department leaders.

Because of the dissemination of television media, the debate competition has been in full swing in the university, every year there will be a debate team formed by the university to participate in the national college student debate competition, if you enter the final stage of the competition, CCTV will also broadcast live on TV, for the school is a large level of publicity, and the national audience is also very interested in this kind of debate competition.

The debate competition launched at the University of South China is undoubtedly ready to select the contestants to participate in the 4th China Famous University College Student Debate Competition.

Liao Fanmin also had an interest in the international college debate tournament that was very popular, and also bought a lot of books, and was amazed by the eloquence shown in the debate competition, but with the passage of time, the college student debate tournament was gradually forgotten and reduced to an activity between universities, lacking social attention, which has the factors of rapid social development, and the reason why the topics of debate are becoming more and more detached from reality and cannot catch up with the pace of progress of the times.

Liao Fanmin once thought that all the students who participated in the international debate competition were college students from various universities, and these college students were still studying in the ivory tower, and had no actual contact with the society, and almost all of the content of their debates came from books, and there was very little accumulation of real society, and in the end, most of the debates were duels between theories or books, which made TV viewers gradually lose interest.

With the progress of society, how to make money, how to become famous, and how to be proficient in society have become the things that we pay the most attention to.

Liao Fanmin, who personally felt the rapid development of society, gradually lost interest in debate.

The meeting was about debating when the competition would take place and how to form teams.

Liao Fanmin barely spoke, after all, it was the first time he attended a meeting held by the student union, and it was normal not to speak.

Each department of the class of 97 has to form a debate team, and each team has six members, four of whom are the main players, and the other two are reserve members, so that the class of 97 has dozens of debate teams.

The debate competition is held in the form of an elimination system, after the elimination of the preliminary round, eight debate teams can enter the finals, and the finals are also eliminated, and the final winning debate team is the champion.

The top four debate teams in each grade will participate in the debate competition held by the school, and the school will select the contestants to participate in the 4th China Famous University Student Debate Tournament from the participating debate teams.

In principle, senior students will not participate in the whole school's debate competition, because the 4th China University Debate Tournament will be held in the second half of the year, and they will all have graduated by then.

As long as you can win the debate competition in the grade level and participate in the whole school competition, you are likely to be selected to participate in the 4th China Famous University College Student Debate Competition, which is a great honor and endless opportunity for every college student.

In each of the TV Debate Grand Prix held in previous years, the best debaters and college students who won the championship team can enter their favorite units when they are assigned jobs, even if they are not assigned after graduation, these college students who are outstanding in debate will also be noticed by the relevant units and highly recommended by the school, so as to easily find a good job.

Therefore, it makes sense that the debate competition has attracted great attention from college students.

"The debate competition is planned to start in late April, in the school auditorium, the competition is planned to take seven days, the first round of the competition is three days, the second round of the competition is two days, the third round of the competition is one day, the final is one day, and the eight participating debate teams can enter the second round of the competition, the topic of the debate competition has been drawn up, it will be issued tomorrow, there is a month to prepare, the debate competition of the whole age must end at the end of April, and the top four debate teams will participate in the debate competition held by the school at the end of May. ”

Shen Yaling said very clearly and very clearly, the 97-level debate competition must all end in early May, and the top four debate teams participate in the school's debate competition, that is to say, enter the second round of the competition, and all the debate teams that win the competition can participate in the school's debate competition.

Under normal circumstances, freshman students rarely have the opportunity to represent the school to participate in national competitions, whether in terms of knowledge or eloquence, they are not as good as the sophomore and junior students, and the graduate students of the debate competition also participate, and the experience of the people is richer, and the students of the law department of the University of South China are the key members of the debate competition.

In the final analysis, the 97-level debate tournament is a reserve talent, as long as they emerge in the annual debate tournament, they will naturally become the object of attention of the school when they enter the sophomore year, and they are likely to be selected to represent the school in the national TV debate competition.

After Shen Yaling finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Liao Fanmin.

"Chairman Liao, do you have anything else to add? ”

Liao Fanmin was a little caught off guard, he didn't plan to speak at all, and he didn't expect Shen Yaling to name him directly.

"I don't have anything to add, I must follow the arrangement of the meeting and do what I have to do. ”

The president of the student union looked at Liao Fanmin and smiled.

Originally from Beijing, Liu Tao has a high interest in organizing all kinds of activities, perhaps born and raised in the capital, Liu Tao maintains a high level of attention and active participation in all kinds of social activities.

Liu Tao is also a law department, and he very much agrees with Liao Fanmin, who is also a law major, becoming the vice president of the student union.

"Director Liao, what Chairman Shen said is that you are very famous in the school, and you will take the lead in participating in the debate competition this time, and you may be selected to participate in the national debate competition. ”

Liao Fanmin waved his hand again and again.

"I can't, I don't have a talent for debate, I rarely speak, I want to talk about debate, I hear others say the head is the way, I'm afraid I can't say anything when I'm in a hurry... ”

"Chairman Liao, you must participate, you see, the president and vice president of our student union, all of them are from the law department, and other departments have opinions, I think you two vice presidents are going to participate in this debate competition, our student union has taken the lead, and the others have nothing to say." ”

Hearing Liu Tao say this, a smile appeared on Shen Yaling's face.

"Yes, Chairman Liao, we both have to participate in the debate competition, and the student union will take the lead... ”

Liao Fanmin's head is a little big, he really doesn't want to participate in the debate competition, it takes too much time and energy.

Behind each debate team, there is a group of people to support, need to find relevant information, need to determine the debate points on the debate topic, formulate the debate rhetoric, need to hollow out what kind of questions the other party will raise, how to refute, etc., this is a system engineering, even if it is a professor in the school, it is impossible for a person to think so carefully.

Debaters work even harder, they need to read a lot of information, whether it is to prepare for the usual time or to actually participate in the competition, they must be highly concentrated, and they must be ready to deal with the tricky questions thrown by the opponent.

It's a lot harder than an exam.

The student union meeting lasted not long, and soon came to an end, no matter which student union cadre spoke, there would be no long speech, what should be said was said quickly, and if you disagreed, you would say what you disagreed with, and briefly explain the reasons, that is, in this efficient debate, the views were quickly unified.

As the president of the student union, Liu Tao will not participate in this debate competition, he personally served as the leader of the preparatory team, responsible for the relevant organizational work, and even invited professors from the school to serve as judges for the debate competition.

"Dear students, the school attaches great importance to this debate competition, and requires our student union to organize it well, and I hope that all the cadres of the student union will take the lead in participating in the debate competition and showing our style... ”

Liu Tao's summary is equally simple and clear, and it is finished in a few sentences.

However, Liao Fanmin had a strange smile on his face, and he smelled a hint of official smell from Liu Tao's words, perhaps Liu Tao, as the president of the student union, had not yet realized this.

When Liao Fanmin stood up and was about to leave, Liu Tao stopped him, and Shen Yaling remained.

"Liao Fanmin, I haven't had time to congratulate you on being elected as the vice president of the student union, there are a lot of things during this time, and after the debate competition is over, I will invite you to dinner, I thought about it just now, the debate team of the law department, Shen Yaling and you have to participate, Shen Yaling will do one debate, you will do four debates, that is, free people... ”

Before Liao Fanmin could speak, Shen Yaling on the side spoke.

"No problem, we will definitely win glory for the 97-level law department. ”

Liao Fanmin looked at Liu Tao and Shen Yaling.

"Liu Tao, if the student union must ask me to participate in the debate competition, I will obey, but I have an idea, the organization of this debate competition is very complicated, you are running back and forth alone, time and energy are too late, you need someone to assist, ask other people to help for no reason, people are not necessarily willing, and feel that the time is delayed, I am the best candidate, try my best to cooperate with you to complete the organization of this debate competition... ”

Liu Tao looked at Liao Fanmin and nodded involuntarily.

The organization of the debate tournament is indeed a lot, and it is very meticulous, even if a person can be busy, he can't think about it so thoroughly, there are only so many cadres in the student union, and they all go to participate in the debate competition, and who else will complete the organization work.

"It's also said that when the time comes, I'll be running around alone, and it may delay things. ”

"Liu Tao, I think what Liao Fanmin said is reasonable, I won't participate in the debate competition at all, I will assist you in organizing the work, and other cadres of the student union will participate in the debate competition, and the three of us will complete most of the organizational work, which is completely reasonable. ”

"Okay, that's it, the law department's debate team, I'll be in charge of organizing... ”
