In order to improve XJTLU students’ leadership and teamwork spirit, Student Club and Organization hold a debate competition.

Part 1: Pre-Competition Training

Before the formal debate, we had the honor to invite Alex to train us in leadership and language communication skills. In the process of training, Alex used humorous language and interesting games as ice-breakers to give us a deeper understanding of leadership in laughter.

Part 2: Warm-Up prior to the Competition

In the restroom, we provided hearty afternoon tea for our contestants. The contestants enjoyed the tasty food. At the same time, they communicated with each other and made some new friends. Contestants gradually relaxed and they were not as nervous as they used to be.

Part 3: Competition

There are in total six matches held in two classrooms.  Over 100 students participated in this competition. Facing sensitive topics such as ‘whether plastic surgeries can help you to become the winner of your life or not?’ and ‘whether there is the existence of a truly and solely friendship with an opposite-gender friend?’. Contestants brought forward ideas composedly without flustering. Moreover, they listened to debaters carefully and attempted to find the loopholes. Judges praised them for their excellent performance. And our passionate participants kept on investigating the topics and discussing the results even though the competition had finished.
