Chapter 451 The First Round of Confrontation
Chen Xi, Shen Xinyi, and Li Xin looked at Li Yuqing who was chattering away, each with their own thoughts.
“We believe that maintaining cultural independence and identity is not inconsistent with actively integrating into local society. International students can maintain their own cultural characteristics while learning local culture and spread it to local people. This will not only promote cultural exchanges, but also enhance international students’ self-confidence and sense of belonging. "In addition, actively integrating into the local society does not mean giving up on studies. On the contrary, it can provide more practical opportunities for international students and promote academic progress." Ada University sent another student to fight, and he obviously realized that the current situation was not good for him. Unfavorable, so he quickly adjusted his strategy and supplemented and strengthened his previous views.
“We understand the importance of cultural exchanges, but excessive integration may cause international students to be overly dependent on the local society and lose themselves. In addition, excessive socialization may cause international students to neglect their studies and affect graduation and career development. Therefore, we insist I believe that international students should maintain a certain degree of cultural independence and identity.” The people sent by Swinburne seemed to not know what to say and could only keep stressing that they should not overdo it.
This gave the advantage to Ada again.
Chen Xi and others looked at the audience and shook their heads. If this continues, Swinburne University will lose.
Swinburne University, as a local university in Mocun, was defeated by a foreign university at home, which is really a bit embarrassing. And this is the first one, so everyone’s focus will usually be on this.
“We believe that actively integrating into the local society has a great impact on the personal growth of international students. By integrating into the local society, international students can learn the ability to think independently, solve problems, and enhance self-management and adaptability. These Ability is crucial for future career development and social life." Acun's No. 3 team member began to speak.
“We agree on the importance of personal growth, but maintaining cultural independence and identity is also helpful for the personal growth of international students. International students should maintain their own uniqueness and adhere to their own values, so that they can be successful in the future. To gain a foothold in society." The people in Swinburne seem to have given up and have no substantive objections at all.
“To sum up, we insist that international students should actively integrate into the local society. This will not only help their language learning, cultural understanding and personal growth, but also promote cultural exchanges and enhance the self-confidence of international students and a sense of belonging while maintaining cultural independence and identity. It is also important, but integrating into the local society does not mean giving up these values. On the contrary, it can provide broader development space and opportunities for international students. Therefore, we insist that international students should actively integrate into the local society.” I'm too lazy to say anything else, so I'll just give a summary.
After this debate, the judges agreed that the University of Adelaide's view was more convincing.
They successfully explained the positive impact of active integration into local society on international students' language learning, cultural understanding and personal growth, and also reasonably responded to the objections of the opposition.
Therefore, the winner of this debate is the University of Adelaide.
"This Swinburne student is no good. If I were to go up and say it, I would definitely not be so stupid." Li Yuqing looked at it and shook her head, a little disdainful of Swinburne's performance just now.
Indeed, Swinburne students did not perform well. Like Chen Xi, they had no idea that the topic was going to be changed this time. Not only them, but almost all the universities in Mocun didn't know.
Soon it was time for Didi University to draw lots and decide whether it was positive or negative, which meant that the next game started. They only had one round to discuss the topic. This time the opponent was Charles Darwin University (Charles Darwin University, referred to as CDU).
"I'll smoke, I'll smoke." At this time, Li Yuqing jumped up, looking a little impatient.
"Why are you doing it? If you want to do it, Chen Xi will do it."
"That's right, when will it be your turn here."
"I'll do it The opportunity to play has been given away, wouldn't it be enough to draw a lottery? Why are you chirping so hard? You two are not trying to attract my attention in this way. I don't like you." Li Yuqing's words made the two boys who spoke out feel at ease for a moment. I knew what to say, so I could only sit there with my arms folded and sulk.
"Li..." Before Chen Xi could stop him, Li Yuqing had already run away and started groping in the lottery box.
"Haha, that's right. I just said I'm lucky. I'm convinced this time." Li Yuqing opened the folded piece of paper and walked over as if taking credit.
"Oh, good job." Chen Xi smiled and praised Li Yuqing, which made her even more confident and she couldn't help but cast a proud look at the two boys.
"Our topic is whether studying abroad is beneficial to personal development. I don't think this topic is difficult..." Chen Xi asked everyone to gather together to discuss.
The two universities on the stage were having a heated debate, and everyone's attention was attracted. Only Linxi stared at the people at Didi University with squinted eyes.
This time he did come to Tu'ao for business, and he was not here specifically to host some debate competition.
Coming to participate in this event is just a casual thing. During the previous election campaign, Chen Xi outshone him, which made Linxi very unhappy.
Coupled with Acun's incident, Linxi felt that the other party did not give him face at all.
I even made a phone call, but Chen Xi was still bargaining there. In the end, if some connections had not been used, the cooperation would not have been negotiated at all.
He originally thought that the vice president would have the same ideas as his and become his right-hand man, but it turned out to be a solid roadblock.
Didi University's players are Shen Xinyi, Luo Feiyu, Ding Xiaoxiao, and Fan Dahua. The other three, Chen Xi, were actually not familiar with each other. They were all students from other majors.
“Dear judges, dear students, we firmly believe that studying abroad has significant benefits for personal development. First of all, studying abroad provides individuals with a unique global perspective , allowing us to directly come into contact with different cultures, ideas and knowledge systems. This kind of cross-cultural exchange helps us broaden our thinking and cultivate critical thinking skills. Secondly, the experience of studying abroad can exercise our ability. The ability to live independently and solve problems make us more mature and confident. Through studying abroad, we can build international connections and lay a solid foundation for future career development. Therefore, we insist that studying abroad is beneficial to personal development." It was Luo Feiyu who had long curly hair that seemed to have not been combed for a few months. A T-shirt that didn't fit him was a little too small, probably because he had gained weight recently.
Chen Xi remembered that this person was studying IT. He couldn’t understand how an IT man could actively participate in this activity. Moreover, Luo Fei looked like an otaku no matter how he dressed. He should choose to stay at this time. That's right at home.
"Ahem ~ We believe that studying abroad is not always beneficial to personal development. First, the cost of studying abroad is high, which is a heavy burden for many families. Secondly, international students may face cultural conflicts and language barriers that may lead to psychological stress and adjustment problems Question. Finally, studying abroad may also cause international students to be disconnected from the domestic society and affect their career development in the country. Therefore, we believe that studying abroad has limited benefits for personal development. "The student from Charles Darwin University is a girl wearing glasses. With her bangs combed back, she looks rustic.
But after the girl finished speaking, she glanced proudly at Luo Feiyu opposite, and Luo Feiyu couldn't help but laugh. Chen Xi witnessed all this in the audience and knew in his heart that these two people must be acquainted.
"What are these two people doing? Are they flirting on the spot?" Li Yuqing has quite a lot of emotional experience, and there is no way she can't see the intrigue between these two people. Especially the look in the girl's eyes that almost made Li Yuqing shiver, and she was so disgusted.
"What is this? Which family is poor enough to study abroad? Will they go abroad if they don't have money?" A fat boy in the crowd shouted out.
When he shouted, many people present turned red.
Not all international students’ families have money. It can only be said that they are better off than most families in China.
However, the prices in Tu'ao are really too high. Those international students usually live frugally, and some even pretend to be rich, showing that their families are very powerful. This includes Li Yuqing, who usually Spending money lavishly on famous brands, but scratching the surface of food and accommodation.
Li Yuqing blushed and turned back to glare at the fat man with dissatisfaction.
"That makes sense. I am also afraid of being out of touch with the domestic society. The country is developing so fast now, and there are many new things that are not even available abroad."
"Who says it's not the case? Well, although many things are copied from foreign countries, the new functions they subsequently developed are actually more creative than foreign ones.”
“That is, Aba Aba imitates Paypal and eBay. The result is even more functionality than them.”
"And Renren.com is the magic Facebook."
The people in the audience felt that what the people from Charles Darwin University said made sense. China's rapid development made overseas students shine.
In the past, people studied abroad to learn advanced knowledge. If domestic things are ahead of foreign countries in the future, there will be fewer people studying abroad.
Nowadays, the threshold for studying abroad has been lowered, and the number of international students around the world has increased dramatically. As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are scarce. When international students become homeless in the future, they will not be so dazzling.
“That’s not all copied, foreign things are still advanced.”
"That's right, it's just that there is no such thing in China, and foreign companies can't get in, so they start doing it."
"What we are talking about now is whether it will be out of touch with domestic society. The more you talk about it, the more you talk about it. "It's getting further and further away." People seem to have nothing in common.”
“Yes, it’s just that their thoughts and feelings are different.”
“That’s because you feel superior to others. They are all Muggles with no higher education.”
"Your statement is too radical."
Some people hold different opinions, and some feel that everyone has gone off topic and is thinking about things that have nothing to do with the theme of the debate.
