The sports day is next week, and before the sports day, we have to take advantage of the weekend to get the debate competition.

The so-called "Newcomer Cup" debate tournament held within this debate club will last for a long time, with a total of six teams, round-robin competition, and each of the remaining teams will play once, the two teams with the lowest points will be eliminated, and the remaining four teams will draw lots for the knockout round, and finally determine the champion and runner-up, as well as the best debater and the best newcomer in the cup.

This process takes about a month and a half.

The judges of the internal round-robin competition are composed of five people, a club president, and an instructor, and the other three will invite qualified judges according to the situation.

On the weekend of the week, the teams play two by two, and there are three games.

When Yi Yang came to the public classroom, Wei Ting and Zhan Chao had already arrived, and he went up and asked, "Hasn't our captain arrived yet?" ”

"I haven't seen her yet."

Xing Yingdan is not late, but rarely arrives early.

The three of them waited at the door for a while, and students from other teams came one after another...... Naturally, on this special occasion, they have a common name, called Debater, and also have a common title, called each other's Debater.

Wei Ting rubbed her hands and asked Zhan Chao and Yi Yang, "Are you nervous?" ”

Zhan Chao said: "It's okay, it's okay to be nervous, we're very prepared!" A little nervousness later, it will only make us play extraordinarily! ”

Yi Yang smiled: "Just treat the audience as a cabbage." ”

Seeing that the two teammates were so determined, Wei Ting finally showed a slightly relaxed expression.

Zhan Chao added: "Moreover, don't forget, our captain can't get it right, but it's the most powerful debate in the school......"

"Big ...... Convenient? When Wei Ting was stunned, footsteps came from the staircase, and the next moment Xing Yingdan's figure appeared around the corner.

Zhan Chao's expression suddenly became unnatural, he was not sure if what he had just said was heard by Xing Yingdan.

Fortunately, Xing Yingdan didn't seem to hear his joke just now, so she walked straight to Yi Yang and asked, "Have the two places you said last time changed?" ”

Yi Yang nodded and handed the revised draft to Xing Yingdan.

I've been practicing calligraphy since the second year of junior high school, Yi Yang and Luo Luoyue have entered the door, and they began to write a little bit, and then after the third junior high school added that computer, I often watched the video of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, and now his font is not up to the level of the competition, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is extremely stretching and pleasing to the eye.

Xing Yingdan looked at it, and once again silently sighed in her heart that the writing was very comfortable, but there was no expression, and she continued to ask: "Can you take off the manuscript?" ”

Yi Yang said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Xing Yingdan nodded: "Don't be nervous later, you are arguing anyway and crushing them with your aura!" ”

Yi Yang smiled: "I'll try my best!" ”

Zhan Chao breathed a sigh of relief, making sure that Xing Yingdan didn't hear it, but just as she was about to go in, she suddenly turned around and said to the three of them: "By the way, don't call each other such a strange thing as a big debate in the arena, if you don't want to be grandstanding." ”

This was a very harsh preaching, and Zhan Chao's expression became extremely unnatural.

When I entered the classroom, there were no more spectators except for the judges and some students from the debate club.

Everyone casually found a place to sit down, Zhou Dongyang, the president of the debate club, opened the debate software on the operating table, asked if the number of captains of several teams was complete, and after waiting for a while for several judges to be in place, he made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, and spoke into the microphone: "Okay, judges, teachers, students, our debate competition is ready to start." ”

The scene fell silent.

"Let me start by introducing some of today's judges."

"First of all, the coach of the school's debate team and the instructor of our debate club, Mr. Lai Subin! Mr. Lai once won the championship on behalf of Hanning Normal University in the Singapore Discourse College Debate Invitational Tournament, and won the best debater in one fell swoop, and led our school debate team to the championship of the National High School Debate Invitational Tournament of the Talent Cup last year! ”

A gentle-looking male teacher in the first row stood up and turned back to smile at the students.

Next, they are Senior Sister Sudan from Class 7 of the third year of high school, Senior Li Zongzuo from Class 7 of Senior High School, and Senior Sister Yang Ruimin from Class 8 of Senior High School, all of whom are members of the school team who won the championship with the team last year! Thank you to the three seniors for taking time out of their busy schedules to be judges for us! ”

The three senior high school students also stood up and saluted.

Wei Ting whispered, "The three of them are all juniors in high school......"

Zhan Chao said: "The third year of high school also needs a little relaxation time. ”

"No, what I want to say is that except for Mr. Lai Subin, everyone else is a student......

Xing Yingdan next to him snorted: "It's a waste of resources to let a group of rookies be judges for you guys." You'll know later, a novice fights, don't talk about it if you don't have logic, and often drag strong opponents to the same level as yourself...... In short, a debate competition is only enjoyable if it is evenly matched. ”

Zhan Chao and Wei Ting stopped talking.

Yi Yang glanced at Xing Yingdan more.

The last judge's seat is naturally Zhou Dongyang, who is the president.

After introducing the judges, we will enter the second link, and the judges will draw lots to determine the order of today's competition.

The end result was that their 6-team and 1-team matches were scheduled for the third game.

Wei Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "Great...... Thankfully, it's not the first. ”

If you become the first, you will die of nervousness.

After Zhou Dongyang sat down on the judges' bench, a sweet-looking girl came to the rostrum, and Xing Yingdan explained beside her: "This girl's name is Tang Zihan, and she is the liaison of the debate club...... is the person in charge of the school newspaper materials, she studied broadcasting, and the logic is not very good, and then she simply became a full-time host. ”

After Tang Zihan made eye exchange with the judges below, he sat down and said, "Then, the first group of two sides will be invited to play!" ”

The first group is two teams against three teams, and each team sits in their own positions.

Xing Yingdan said: "When you entered the club, we were relatively busy, so we didn't have an exhibition match, just to borrow them to see what a serious debate match looks like, and then you probably understand what the debate match is all about." ”

"Of course, don't expect to be more formal, novices will probably not be able to find a position in the debate at the beginning, and they can't understand what the opponent is saying, many times you say yours and I say mine."

Yi Yang didn't quite understand the meaning of Xing Yingdan's words at first, but when the first group of games began, he roughly understood.

Their debate topic is "Is Score Important?"

To be honest, the first time he saw this debate, Yi Yang went through it in his mind, and after considering the gradual understanding of debate during this time, he realized that most of the debate topics were similar to this form of "both are important, but you must choose one".

Yi Yang also understands why the "standard" and "definition" in the debate are so important, one of the two things that everyone thinks is important, you must choose one, then it will inevitably involve the issue of "more".

Of course, if it is not for this form of proposition, on the one hand, there is no need for speculation, and on the other hand, too tendentious arguments are willing to be inferior and unfair to one party.

This is a relatively fair debate.

After the debaters on both sides have introduced themselves, it is time to start the argument.

A debater on both sides stood up to make an opening argument, because there was an old man in a second year of high school in each team, so in terms of the draft, at least there was no big problem in terms of structure, and at this time, Yi Yang probably understood why Xing Yingdan repeatedly emphasized that the image and temperament of a debater were very important.

The first debater of the second team is about a girl who learns vocal music, with a good temperament, and Yi Yang can hear it as soon as she speaks, she can breathe and make a sound, her voice is magnetic, and she can attract the audience's attention at once, and at the same time, the rhythm of speech is not fast or slow, although she did not take off the script, and read the manuscript again, but it does not affect the judges and the audience below to hear each other's arguments clearly.

Xing Yingdan commented on the side: "This argument is not bad, the person I fell in love with at the time was her except you, but I don't like girls." ”

Yi Yang asked strangely, "Why don't you like girls?" ”

"Most of the girls don't have any logic."

Zhan Chao subconsciously said: "But you and Wei Ting ......"

"I'm talking about the majority."

"Uh......"

Yi Yang secretly laughed, Xing Yingdan spoke with a natural aura, very strong!

Later, Xing Yingdan commented on the second team's draft thesis: "It is decent, there are no bright spots. They are square, and the score is important, and if it were me, I would refute their thesis from these aspects...... "Let's do it."

I have to say that listening to Xing Yingdan's analysis, the debate in front of me suddenly became clear.

Then the three teams began to speak, and the gap between the two sides could be seen at once.

The debater of the third team is a little fat man, probably a boy who is partial to science, Mandarin is not very standard, and there is some nervousness, trying to get out of the script, but at first he memorized a little wrong thing, and then the whole argument became stumbling.

Teacher Lai Subin at the bottom can still control his expression as much as possible, so as not to increase the psychological burden on the debaters on the stage, and several student judges couldn't help frowning, such a frown, the little fat man became even more nervous, and there were two or three jams that lasted for a few seconds in the middle, and many viewers shook their heads secretly.

Xing Yingdan said: "Most people play a debate tournament for the first time, and this is the norm. ”

In this way, no matter what the quality of his manuscript is, probably the audience didn't listen to it much, except for a few judges who patiently took notes to analyze the structure of their arguments, and most of the others paid attention to the little fat man's mistakes.

Next, the second debate interrogation and the third debate interrogation were carried out in turn, and even Yi Yang could see their novice attributes.

In fact, these two links should all depend on the scene, and the second debate will question and ask questions on the draft of the opponent's first debate, so we must listen to the opponent's draft, seize the opponent's flaws, and carry out the first wave of attacks.

But after the two sides argued, they both took the drafts prepared in advance and asked a few irrelevant questions, Xing Yingdan shook her head again and again, and couldn't help complaining: "They don't catch such obvious loopholes in their drafts...... Alas, white blindness. ”

Zhan Chao listened silently, his little eyes purring, he probably knew what to do.

The next three debates are even more so, the three debates on both sides are also newcomers, holding the questions prepared in advance, and asking a question, Xing Yingdan herself is the gold medal three debates, and sighed again and again, saying: "I'll go up later, let you see what cross-examination is." ”

After the cross-examination session, there will be five minutes of discussion, followed by an exciting free debate session.

Xing Yingdan said: "See it, right? The first argument is to build one's own position, and the second and third arguments are all the offensive time of the tall people, and when the opponent's position is established, they will attack through questioning and interrogation in view of the weaknesses of their position. ”

Yi Yang, who has never had any sense of existence, added: "The second debate is like a conspiracy, attacking in a bright and bright way, while the third debate is more like a conspiracy, every problem can hide traps, the reaction speed is a little slower, and if you don't do it, you will pit your own position." ”

Xing Yingdan patted Yi Yang's shoulder excitedly: "Young man, I understand it very well, my children can be taught, my children can be taught!" ”

"And what do you think of their performance just now?"

Zhan Chao thought for a while, "It's like they left their position and fought in a mess outside the position." ”

"Exactly!"

Yi Yang admired Xing Yingdan a little on the side, to be honest, this girl's personality is too strong, logical, and a little condescending, and she doesn't seem to have any good friends to walk around with, and her popularity may be ...... Well, but she's definitely a first-class master just from a debate perspective, and it's amazing to have their team build such an intuitive understanding of debate in just such a short period of time.

Obviously, the two sides of the first group do not have this condition, and when they are free to argue, they are running more and more deviated, either one person gets up and talks about a lot of useless things, wasting time, or one side grabs a question and asks repeatedly: "The other side of the debate, please answer our question, what is morality?" ”

Of course, this process was quite joyful, and the players on both sides came out coldly and said two sentences, making the audience laugh.

But returning to the debate competition itself, there are not many offensive and defensive offenses that are meaningful to each other.

The old men on both sides are different from Xing Yingdan, they are all four debates, because this debate position is the most important, and it is also the easiest position to produce the best debater.

In the final summary of the four debates, the four debates of the two sides finally pulled back the confrontation that the two sides had deviated from a little bit, and began to carry out a wave of offensive and defensive attacks that were a bit dry.

The final result was a big surprise, and when the opponent was decided, the newbies below were confused, because at least it seemed that the situation was the opposite.

This time there was no need for Xing Yingdan to explain, Zhan Chao said: "Although it seems that the positive side has a good argument, and the opposing side has been suppressed several times on the scene, but in fact, it is outside the other party's position, which is useless, and the opponent has not done anything, but the people have always held the position, and they have refuted the definition of the positive side, and they still don't know it." ”

Xing Yingdan said with satisfaction: "That's it." ”

Sure enough, when the judges commented, Mr. Lai Subin said......

"People keep asking you, what do you mean by morality? You have been evading, and the morality that the opposing side believes refers to Lao Tzu's morality, which is originally a very good refutation, but you don't realize it......"

Several newcomers on the square looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but speak: "Uh, did we escape?" ”

"It's too messy......"

Yi Yang wanted to laugh below, is this a debate.

It's really a matter of the process outweighing the result.
