Chapter 572: Tongue Battle!
When Liu Meng lamented that the aura of luck was a little unreliable this time, the Malaysian debate team also knew that their opponent was the Taoyuan University debate team. However, the Malaysian debaters were not happy to meet a "weak team" like Tao University, but frowned one by one.
"I have seen the information of Taoyuan University before, but it is only a private undergraduate in the mainland, and it has only been established for a few years, and it is far from being comparable with the famous universities of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zhongshan University, and Jiangxi University. And among their opponents in the mainland debate tournament before, the strongest was only the Sichuan University debate team, and when they waited for the championship competition later, they were easily defeated by Jiang University, and their strength was at the bottom of the four debate teams in the mainland this time. The Malaysian debater recalled the information of the Tao University debate team.
The second debater next to him also squinted slightly: "If we had met such an opponent in a debate ten years ago, we would have been very happy, because that means that we can easily win." However, since the debate has been restructured, regardless of whether the debate is won or lost, only the best debater is selected, and it is not good news to meet a team that is too weak. ”
"Yes, the opponent's strength is too weak to withstand the ravages, where can we reflect our strength? If you can't show your strength, even if you can win the title of the best debater in this field, I am afraid that you will not be able to win the best debater of this year. The Malaysian triumph frowned slightly, seemingly rather distressed by the question that his opponent was too weak.
The fourth debate said: "Now we can only hope that we can draw a debate topic that is enough to debate, and even if the rookies are vulnerable, we can also give full play to a large part of our strength." In that way, I may be able to win the favor of the judges. ”
After the group draw was held on the spot, while the debaters were discussing the results of the lottery, the staff of the venue were also busy making final preparations before the official start of the debate competition.
The International University Debate is held over two days, with one large group to complete each day. The whole process of the competition will be recorded by a professional live program recording team, and after the competition, the video will be post-produced. It will then be broadcast by Mediacorp Singapore and CCTV.
On the first day, there will be four debates in Group A. Each session lasted a total of one and a half hours from the selection of debate questions, the preparation of materials by the debaters, the formal debate, and the judges' scoring of the debaters after the debate and the selection of the best debaters on the spot. According to the order of the format, the match in Group 3PK will be the first in the afternoon.
In terms of the arrangement of the PK group, it is a mainland debate team against an overseas debate team. Like in the morning, it is Xi'an Jiaotong University vs Xiangda, Sun Yat-sen University vs Singapore University.
The two debates were quite intense and exciting, and the debaters from the four universities performed quite well, which made the other debate teams watching the competition gain something at the same time. But it is also a lot of pressure. Because according to the competition system for selecting the best debater, every debater on the scene is a competitor to each other, and the better the performance of others, the greater the pressure of their own competition.
In these two debate competitions, they were the first debate of Xi'an Jiaotong University and the third debate of Singapore University, and won the title of the best debater on the spot. In fact, in the second debate, the Sun Yat-sen University debate team pressed the Singapore team to debate, but the University of Singapore performed really well in the third debate, although it could not turn the victory or defeat in the debate competition. But the judges took a fancy to him.
In the afternoon, it was the turn of the Taoyuan University debate team to take the stage.
Before the official competition, the first thing is to draw the debate questions - the two sides draw a question bank number at the same time, and then the question is taken according to the larger number. When Gan Shuangshuang and Malaysia debated as representatives of the on-site drawing of questions. The debaters from the other teams watching the game below couldn't help but talk about it.
"This game is not very interesting, in terms of strength comparison, the Malaysian team is obviously stronger than this Taoyuan University. But this is good news for us - there is no fierce competition, but it is not easy to show the strength of the debater. ”
"yes. The Malaysian team's first debater this time, Qiu Feihong, is the best debater in this year's Southeast Asian Chinese Debate Tournament, and is one of the popular candidates for the best debater in this debate. If he can't show his strength, the others will naturally have a big opponent. ”
"So it seems. Even if Jiang University performs well in the last game, the mainland can only win the two best debaters. ”
"Winning the best debater on the spot is nothing, the key is the ownership of the best debater this year, which is the highest honor of the real much-anticipated debate."
“”
Just when everyone in the audience was discussing, Gan Shuangshuang on the stage and Qiu Feihong on the Malaysian side had already handed over the drawn question number to the host of the debate competition. The host announced the question numbers of the two to the public, and finally took the questions according to the competition system and the larger question number drawn by Gan Shuangshuang. And the topic of this debate competition finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes - whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil.
The debaters on both sides guessed the fist to decide the pros and cons, and finally the Taoda debate team won the opposing debate topic: human nature is inherently evil.
Human nature is good and human nature is evil, this is a very long and quite classic debate, from ancient times to the present, thousands of years can not be understood, can be described as one of the most debated debate topics!
Several debaters from the Malaysian debating team were immediately overjoyed when they were drawn to this topic – the more classic and controversial the topic, the more they could bring out their strengths. In comparison, except for Gan Shuangshuang, the other three people on Taoyuan University's side frowned slightly.
However, a few people did not draw the classic debate, but because Tao Da was on the opposite side.
"Shuangshuang, we have also practiced this debate a few times, and you know, the three of us actually agree with the idea that 'human nature is inherently good', so when we debate as a pro, we always perform better than when we debate as a dis. But now we are on the opposite side, and this one is probably difficult. When searching for information and preparing for the debate, Yu Xiaoxin said to Gan Shuangshuang worriedly.
Bai Xiaofu said: "The principal said before that Malaysian debaters are the best at defeating their opponents from the level of 'Tao', but now we are not so supportive of our own views in our hearts, and I am afraid it is easy to find the opponent's Tao in debate." ”
Dong Xiaoxian frowned and looked at the Malaysian debater opposite, and said, "You see them laughing, as if they have won the game." Wait, no matter what, we can't make each other feel better! ”
Several people who are familiar with Dong Xiaoxian know that Dong Xiaoxian is going to fight against the water.
Gan Shuangshuang smiled indifferently and said: "You don't have to worry, you can only defend and not attack in the offensive and defense links, and don't let the other party find too big loopholes." As for the rest, leave it to me. ”
Although Yu Xiaoxin and the three of them regretted that they could not perform wantonly on such an international stage of debate competitions, the debate team has always been a whole, and the competition abroad represents the honor of the country and the school. In order to win the debate tournament and for the honor of Taoda, they could only do what Gan Shuangshuang said.
Moreover, the three of them also know their own strength, and they may be able to perform in the full debate competition, but in this international debate, if they don't pay attention to it, they are likely to be shown off by others.
After half an hour of preparation, the debate tournament officially began.
After the opening speech, both the judges and the other audience at the scene were impressed, especially the several debaters of the Malaysian team. Because in the opening statement just now, Gan Shuangshuang's statement turned out to be-for-tat with Qiu Feihong's statement!
You must know that in the debate competition, the opening and closing arguments are generally prepared in advance, and they are basically read according to the draft. And Gan Shuangshuang, as the opponent of the later submission, was so pointed at Mai Mang in the argument, which can only show that she temporarily revised the positive submission.
This performance alone is enough to show that Gan Shuangshuang's strength is good, so that the audience will pay attention to it!
In the next offensive and defensive links, Yu Xiaoxin and the three of them followed the previous tactics, under the fierce attack of the Malaysian team's second, third and fourth debates, they held their own defense line, even if they did not fight back at all, and did not leave the other party a chance to break the flaw and break the game.
In the eyes of the layman, the three debaters of Tao University had no power to fight back under the attack of the Malaysian debaters, and the rout was only in sight, but only a few debaters in Malaysia knew how uncomfortable they were - they felt like they were biting a turtle now, and although the appearance of the turtle putting its head and limbs into the turtle shell was ugly, they couldn't bite it, and even had a toothache!
When the final attack was over, the ferocious attack of the Malaysian debate team still did not achieve the slightest substantive result, but lost the initial vigor.
At this time, the Malaysian team, whether it was the second, third, fourth debate, or the first debate Qiu Feihong, all showed a dignified look. Because they all already understand that the debaters of Peach University are far from being as simple as shown in the information, and they are not a weak team, but a strong team with the strength to compete with them!
However, after the solemnity, several Malaysian debaters did become more excited - they originally thought that the hope of competing for the best debater of this year was relatively small, but now whether it is a classic debate topic or a strong opponent, they feel that the honor of "best debater" is beckoning to them!
As a result, after the free debate session began, the Malaysian team, led by the first debater Qiu Feihong, launched a more fierce offensive against the Tao University debate team.
Moreover, although their offensive is fierce, it is not rough, but one link after another, and they skillfully use all kinds of debating techniques. What's even more insidious is that there are still traps hidden in many words, as long as the opponent is not careful and says the wrong word, he will fall into their trap and never recover.
In the face of Malaysia's offensive against such an offensive, Yu Xiaoxin and the three of them became more cautious and almost did not speak. As a result, Gan Shuangshuang was left to argue with the four people on the other side - a scene at the Yenching High School Girls' English Debate Tournament a few years ago appeared again, Gan Shuangshuang was eloquent!
You must know that every time one side asks questions and questions in a debate competition, the other side has to argue. And now Gan Shuangshuang is one against four, but he still does not fall behind at all, the speed of thinking and the wonderful organization of language make the judges and other audiences who watch the competition amazing!
