Never Stop Thinking…
东莞ASJ辩论队比赛回顾
On October 26th, four outstanding debaters from the Secondary Department's debate club—Jessie ZHANG (Grade 10P), Bella CHEN (Grade 9E), Tina LIU (Grade 9D), and Isodora MAI (Grade 7T)—along with their teacher, Ms. Elaine LUO, participated in the "Speaking for My Motherland" public debate forum. The event, organised by the Chinese Red Culture Research Association and held in Guangzhou, attracted active participation from over 40 schools and featured more than 100 intense debates throughout the day.
10月26日,东莞暨大港澳子弟学校中学部辩论社的四位杰出辩手——G10P班的张嘉琪、G9E班的陈秋彤、G9D班的刘祗含以及G7T班的麦尔隽,在指导老师骆婷婷的带领下,参加了由中国红色文化研究会主办的“我为祖国发声”思辨论坛活动。该论坛在广州盛大举行,共有超过40所学校参与,全天共进行了超过100场比赛。
「Debating」
The forum aimed to discuss Chinese culture through debate, promote the values of Chinese civilization, strengthen young people's understanding and identification with Chinese culture, and foster the global exchange of Chinese culture.
“我为祖国发声”思辨论坛志在弘扬中国文化,用辩论的形式,讨论中国文化,加强青少年对于中国文化的认识,让全世界都说中国话,让全世界都谈中国文化!
Since signing up in September, the debate team students have been fully committed, undergoing over a month of intense preparation. They engaged in numerous team discussions, deepened their study of relevant materials, and received targeted coaching from their teachers before the competition.
自九月份报名以来,东莞ASJ辩论社的同学们便全力以赴,进行了一个多月的紧张准备。他们不仅进行了多次团队讨论,还加强了对相关资料的学习,并在赛前接受了老师的专题讲解和辅导。
The competition featured an innovative one-on-one live debate format, with organisers releasing the debate topics an hour before the match. Debaters had to prepare their materials and arguments within just one hour and engage in at least four rounds of fierce debate to determine the final rankings through a points system.
本次比赛采用了创新的一对一现场辩论形式,主办方在比赛前一小时公布辩题,辩手们需要在短短一小时内准备资料和论点,进行至少4轮的激烈辩论,通过积分赛的方式角逐桂冠。
After nearly a day of intense competition, Jessie ZHANG earned a "Black Card" for her outstanding performance, qualifying her to participate in the Greater Bay Area General Forum in Guangzhou on 16th November; Tina LIU was honoured with the title of "Outstanding Debater," marking a new level in her debating skills; Bella CHEN and Isodora MAI also performed brilliantly, presenting unique insights and skillfully using rich examples to support their arguments, which left a deep impression on the judges.
经过近一天的鏖战,战果陆续出炉。张嘉琪同学表现出色,荣获“黑卡”,她将获得参加11月16日在广州举行的大湾区总论坛的资格;刘祗含同学荣获“优秀辩手”称号,她的辩论技巧更上一层楼;陈秋彤和麦尔隽两位同学也表现出色,她们在辩论中提出了独到的见解,并巧妙运用丰富的例子进行论证,赢得了现场评委的一致好评。
This debate forum was a valuable learning opportunity for the students, enhancing not only their debating and logical thinking skills but also deepening their understanding and confidence in Chinese culture. Through this event, the students learned how to express their views more effectively, stay calm and focused under pressure, and collaborate and support each other as a team.
这次思辨论坛对同学们来说是一次宝贵的锻炼机会,不仅提升了他们的辩论技巧和逻辑思维能力,也增强了他们对中国文化的理解和自信。通过这次活动,同学们学会了如何更有效地表达自己的观点,如何在压力下保持冷静和专注,以及如何在团队中协作和支持。
