Chapter 843: The Benevolent Are Invincible
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "So be it." You're all ready. ”
For not being selected for the debate team, Ye Qiu was very idle, not to mention that he was not good at such a debate competition.
However, although he thought so, Zhao Yaqian quit. As soon as Xiao Chuanwei's voice fell, she interjected: "Ye Qiu is also very powerful. ”
Song Shangjiang looked at Zhao Yaqian and asked, "Who do you think is not powerful?"
The question of "......" is difficult for Zhao Yaqian to answer.
However, she didn't like Song Shangjiang's tone very much, and said: "I'm not as good as Ye Qiu, let Ye Qiu make three arguments." ”
"No, I can't. Song Shangjiang simply refused. "Ye Qiu's English level is not enough. ”
Xiao Chuanwei nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem. ”
Ye Qiu's English proficiency was the worst among the five students, and even the counselor, Wei Zhenjun, was better than him.
Although there is no problem in communicating in English, the debate tournament is a battlefield, and at that critical moment when every second counts, if an English word chokes Ye Qiu, the situation is quite bad.
You know, their opponents are students at Stanford. They come in a murderous spirit and won't give them any chance to turn the tables.
Zhao Yaqian helped Ye Qiu fight, and was even willing to quit by herself to let Ye Qiu join the team, which made Ye Qiu very moved.
However, he also knew that he remembered the situation, and he was very smooth in speaking Huaxia, but there was indeed a gap in English compared to a few of them.
Song Shangjiang does have prejudices against Ye Qiu, but his vision is still very vicious, and in the past two days of getting along, he has a clear understanding of everyone's situation and style. Ye Qiu didn't have any problem with his arrangement.
Excluding him from targeting himself, such an arrangement is also for the sake of the whole team.
So he stood up and said with a smile: "This arrangement is quite good. Captain Song Shangjiang is right, my spoken English is not good. When the time comes, if you are in a hurry and you can't speak, isn't that a drag on you? Come on, I'll be a cheerleader for you offstage. ”
It seemed to be a little unexpected, Song Shangjiang couldn't help but glance at Ye Qiu, he thought that Ye Qiu would fight with reason, and he could find an opportunity to refuse Ye Qiu, but he didn't expect that Ye Qiu didn't want to fight at all, and he was still a little surprised in his heart.
After a pause, he continued, "Then decide." I'm going to give you some tips for debating, and you can say something if you have a good idea. Let's talk about it together. This time, we must win. Beat their arrogance. ”
Ye Qiu smiled at Zhao Yaqian, and signaled her not to forget to go to her heart, and quickly follow Song Shangjiang to learn some skills, so that she can play later.
Several of them surrounded the city in a circle, and Ye Qiu was bored alone, so he walked on the sofa on the side. Xiao Chuanwei came over and sat beside him, and said with a smile: "Ye Qiu, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Ye Qiu said with a smile: "I can't win glory for our Ninghai University, I'm afraid it will disappoint Dean Xiao, right?"
Xiao Chuanwei patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said, "You have already won glory for our Ninghai University." Before finishing his freshman year, he opened a real estate company and a mobile Internet company, and he had a legendary figure like Nian Wenyao as a tutor. Trust your teammates and they will succeed. ”
"I believe in them. Ye Qiu said.
"Besides......" Xiao Chuanwei looked around, and when he saw Cao Yi also standing beside Song Shangjiang, pointing out something from time to time, he smiled and said: "Actually, I also know what is going on in this debate competition." They want us to retreat, but I think it's a good learning opportunity, and as for winning or losing, it's really not that important. So, you can be on the outside, but you can learn more about their strengths. ”
"There is no heart to win or lose, but there is a humble heart to learn, if everyone can do this to Dean Xiao, our school, why not develop rapidly. For Xiao Chuanwei, Ye Qiudun was a little awe-struck.
After all, many people are still fighting to win or lose. But knowing the gap, it is necessary to recognize the situation. It's not that you don't fight, but in this case, learning is more important.
But Xiao Chuanwei has been able to break through this point and can let go of the desires in his heart, no wonder Jiao Aiguo is so important to him and sent him to be the team leader this time.
The candidate for the next president of Ningbo University is very likely to be publicized from Xiao Chuanwei and Cao Yi. According to Ye Qiu's judgment, Jiao Aiguo would definitely choose Xiao Chuanwei.
……
The venue for the debate competition was the lecture hall of the School of Economics of Stanford University, and when Ye Qiu and others rushed over, the scene had already been arranged.
Not only were there the debate participants and teachers on both sides, but there were also many Stanford students sitting in the front row of the classroom. Obviously, someone released the news in advance so that more people could witness the 'shame of Ninghai University'.
Mr. Diggs, a well-known professor of economics, served as the moderator, as well as two scorekeepers. Wei did not introduce judges, and it is not easy to set up judges for such a debate competition. Because if all the faculty members of Stanford University are chosen, it will be unfair to Ninghai University. If the teachers of Ninghai University are also added, then whoever has more people will take advantage.
The victory or defeat is in everyone's hearts, which is why Carter proposed that there were many students who wanted to visit the site, and William immediately agreed.
He wanted to let the students at Stanford know that they were invincible. Isn't self-confidence and a sense of pride the result of winning and achieving results again and again?
Under the chairmanship of Mr. Diggs, the debaters took their seats at the debate table.
On the Stanford side, the first debate is the handsome Carter, the second argument is the bespectacled Bush, the third argument is the blonde beauty Melanza, and the fourth debate is the small curly-haired Dave.
When the debaters on both sides were in place, Diggs took out a small box, showed it to everyone, and said, "There are forty-nine slips of paper in here, and forty-nine pieces of paper have forty-nine debate topics on them. An audience member at the scene randomly pulled out a slip of paper, and the topic on it was the topic of today's debate competition. ”
This approach is also fair. No one knew the topic before, so it was completely free to play on the spot. This not only tests the knowledge reserve of the school, but also tests the ability to play on the spot, as well as the accurate grasp of knowledge points.
In order to clear the suspicion of cheating, Diges walked in front of Xiao Chuanwei with a cardboard box and asked Dean Xiao Chuanwei to pull out a note.
Xiao Chuanwei didn't postpone it, and took out a piece of production and handed it to Diggs.
Diggs didn't answer, but asked Xiao Chuanwei to read out the topic of the debate competition by himself.
Xiao Chuanwei nodded his head, and then turned into a microphone and read out the above topic: The positive debate point of view is that the benevolent are invincible. The opposing argument is that benevolence is not necessarily invincible. ”
An inspiring debate tournament in which Stanford University wants to completely suppress Ninghai University is about to begin......
