"Here, I would like to reiterate with you the basic definition of the debate. Debate refers to the use of certain reasons to explain each other's opinions on things or issues, and at the same time expose the contradictions of each other's opinions, so as to finally get a common understanding and opinion. ”

"Also, debate is the most practical knowledge, which comes from real life and eventually needs to be used in real life. If we pay close attention, we will find that in real life, many people use some debating skills, intentionally or unintentionally, when they speak. I tell you all this in the hope that you can integrate debate into your body, exercise your debate skills anytime and anywhere, and improve your debate ability. ”

In a small classroom in the teaching building of Taoyuan University, Liu Meng is teaching debate-related knowledge to Gan Shuangshuang, Yu Xiaoxin, Bai Xiaofu, and Dong Xiaoxian.

And today is Saturday, and all four of us have no classes in college. The reason why the classes were held in the business school building was not only because all four of them were business school students, but also because debate is one of the skills that business school students need. Whether you start your own business in the future, work in other companies or even work as a manager, good debating skills, that is, good eloquence, can make people feel like a tiger and a tiger.

The bell in the school will not ring on Saturday, so after talking for a while, Liu Meng looked at the time on his mobile phone and said, "Okay, that's all for today, and the rest of the time will be left to you to practice by yourself." Dong Xiaoxian, you come with me. ”

In the last sentence, Liu Meng said it to Dong Xiaoxian.

Under the gaze of the other three, Dong Xiaoxian got up and followed Liu Meng.

Liu Meng took Dong Xiaoxian to the office on this floor, then found a place to sit down, and said: "It's the end of November now, and December 15 is the National College Student Debate Championship, which means that there are two weeks left." Dong Xiaoxian, can you tell me what is the purpose of participating in this debate competition? ”

Dong Xiaoxian knew that he was the weakest in the debate group and made the slowest progress. dragged everyone back. was called over by Liu Meng, and after listening to Liu Meng's previous words, I thought that Liu Meng was going to tell him a big reason, saying how important the debate competition is, and how much honor he can win for the school and himself. Who would have thought that Liu Meng's words turned and asked him the purpose of participating in the debate competition.

This caught Dong Xiaoxian off guard, and almost said "for Yu Xiaoxin" without opening his mouth.

After a pause, Dong Xiaoxian's mind changed sharply: "Of course, it's to win the championship, to win glory for yourself and the school." ”

"Wrong!" As soon as Dong Xiaoxian finished speaking, Liu Meng directly denied it. Then he looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Dong Xiaoxian, in fact, I know that you are not making slow progress, but you are not really putting your mind into learning and debating." I remember when you wanted to improve your grades at Yenching Taoyuan High School, and your current energy is not half of what it was then. ”

"Earlier I was wondering why, but now it seems that you didn't figure out why you wanted to participate in the debate tournament and got into this debate group. If you don't know why, you won't do your best. ”

Under Liu Meng's gaze, he heard Liu Meng's words. Dong Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

He couldn't help but think: Groove cake, shouldn't the principal know that I entered the debate team to chase Yu Xiaoxin?

When Dong Xiaoxian's mind was spinning and he kept guessing, Liu Meng was still staring at him.

I thought about it for a while. Dong Xiaoxian suddenly flashed a thought: When I was in middle school, I was not allowed to fall in love by the school, but now I am in college, and I am free to fall in love. Besides, like a person. Pursuing someone is not something unseemly, so why should I be afraid that people will know?

After thinking about this, under Liu Meng's pressure, Dong Xiaoxian stiffened his head and said, "Principal." In fact, I joined the debate group because Yu Xiaoxin was also in the debate group. I wish I could spend more time with her. ”

"For Yu Xiaoxin?" Liu Meng was surprised.

Liu Meng was really surprised—as the principal, he didn't notice the feelings of the students, even the students he was familiar with.

Soon Liu Meng came back to his senses, looked at Dong Xiaoxian again, and asked with a strange face: "Then you deliberately dragged the debate group back and wanted Yu Xiaoxin to help you with your tuition?" ”

This kid knows how to chase girls with this method?

Liu Meng muttered in his heart at the same time.

Dong Xiaoxian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." I really have poor strength, and it is also an accident that Gan Shuangshuang asked Xiaoxin to tutor me. ”

Hearing Dong Xiaoxian use "unexpected joy" to describe Yu Xiaoxin's tutoring, Liu Meng couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he said: "Dong Xiaoxian, even if you say that you are entering the debate group for Yu Xiaoxin, then you have to work hard to improve your debating ability." I think you should know what Yu Xiaoxin joined the debate group for, right? Since you like Yu Xiaoxin, shouldn't you help the person you like to fulfill their wishes? ”

Hearing Liu Meng's words, Dong Xiaoxian was surprised again - he didn't expect that Liu Meng would not only not be angry when he heard that he was pursuing Yu Xiaoxin, but also seriously talk to him about what it should be like to like someone.

Coming back to his senses, Dong Xiaoxian scratched his head and immediately promised: "Principal, I understand." Don't worry, I'll do my best to improve my debating skills! ”

Liu Meng shook his head and said, "No, you still haven't understood everything. For Yu Xiaoxin is an indirect purpose after all, and it can only provide power indirectly. Have you ever thought that learning to debate and participating in a debate tournament will have many benefits for you? ”

Hearing Liu Meng's words, Dong Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful look.

While Dong Xiaoxian was thinking, Liu Meng said: "Think about the meaning of the debate I talked about at the end of the class just now, and then think about your own dreams." ”

After speaking, Liu Meng got up and left, leaving Dong Xiaoxian alone in the office frowning, completely lost in thought.

More than two weeks later, on December 15, Liu Meng took Gan Shuangshuang and four others to Shencheng to participate in the National College Student Debate Tournament.

As a national event, the National Collegiate Debate Tournament is important enough. But Liu Meng, Gan Shuangshuang and others set their sights on it - the International University Debate!

The International Collegiate Debate is one of the highest competitions in discourse debate, with a history of more than 30 years, and it is a very influential event. Because the debate group participating in the competition could not help but include students from universities in China, as well as college students from various countries in Southeast Asia where Chinese is the popular language, and even students from Chinese universities in other countries around the world.

The grand finale of the competition will be broadcast on China Central Television (CCTV) and Mediacorp Singapore TV to all over the world. On the stage of the International University Debate Competition, Chinese college students from all over the world will show their talents and show the charm of Chinese debate to the extreme!

All in all, it's a truly international event!
