The Pro team backing up the Destination idea zeroed in with their argument in terms of its definition, significance and necessity, while the other party defended theirs with the impact brought by companion onto individuals and human beings. The witty remarks and organized strategy of both parties offered a great feast of words and a fabulous collide of wisdom for the audience who were absorbed in the debate and couldn’t help showing their appreciation with cheers, laughter and applause. Finally, having reviewed thoughtfully, the judges gave their favour to the Bio-engineering class 131 who therefore took the crown of the 6th CIE Zhuoyue Cup Debate with score of 854, and student Li Jie were awarded Best Debate of this season.
It has been designed that the preliminary debate of this season was conducted in the way of round robin rules. 6 groups of Y2013 students took part in and worked hard chasing for the championship, whose effort of spending spare time in searching for useful materials, discussing and practicing the arguments guaranteed the excellence of debate. As the feedback from the students suggests, the debate not only promotes the friendship between students, but also exercises their abilities to express ideas and to cope with uncertain events, which consequently broadens their horizon and enriches their knowledge as well.
