Should different cultures merge into each other or maintain their unique features? 正一:There are seven continents and four oceans on the earth,by no means any two of them are the same,Every culture has its unique origin, evolution, development and form。Some culture in history gradually fritter（[frit?] ）away, sank to the bottom of the river, such as the mayan culture(玛雅文化['mai?n, 'ma:j?n]), Babylon （['b?bil?n]）culture, But also some can be inherited, such as our great Chinese civilization, Because of the historical experience shows that the culture of different races only by Cultural absorption and mutual（['mju:t?u?l] fusion（['fju:??n]）, can with its thriving vitality, We are able to light the Chinese civilization, it is for blends together the 56 nationalities colorful nationality culture, take all the director, make progress together, Therefore, we believe that the different culture between each other should be integrated,different cultures should merge into each other 反一：The French people are very romantic, Americans are very practical, British gentlemanly, Italy is rich in art, the Germans are cautious and punctual, Japanese are stereotyped, and we Chinese people, it is always hard work and wisdom，These different people have a distinct personality, because they were from different culture breeding and nourishing, it is the colorful culture constitute the blooming beautiful world.Just imagine, if all human beings with the same face, complexion, speak the same language, live the same life, it will be a horrible life circle.Therefore, our view is that different cultures should keep its characteristics,different cultures should maintain their unique features 反二问正一：Integrated assimilation may make a country or a nation in the danger of dying, their own characteristics will fade away, no longer exist, how do you look at it? 正一：I am afraid what you said is a one-sided view.As everyone knows, the United States like a melting pot, with integrated each kind of variety from all peoples of the world.We see these civilizations success together, to create a world recognized in the United States, how do you explain? 反二问正三：The other three debate, recent Foxconn even jump
Respect Then Participate 3班 12****84 林*雨 I totally agree that people who is living, studying or even traveling in another country should accept and respect the new culture. Though we know living in a new culture can be exhilarating, it is also can be personally uncomfortable and frustrating. So, many of them keep the observation of their habits, gathering together, forming some separate minorities with different lifestyle. It is one thing to remember your traditions, and it is quite another to isolating yourself from foreign outside world. I once encountered some complains about Chinese exchange students in a magazine. The American host family was discouraged and planned to quit the program next semester. That Chinese girl left messes wherever she went, and found fault with things just a little bit unsatisfactory. “I remember the words on her lips” Monica said, “She always say s …it is different from China? ”. The girl refused participation in daily housework and family weekend trekking, which the family gradually get used to. Considering her as a family member, the host parents also bought her a Christmas present. However, she reacted in a cold manner giving nothing in return. Despite the fact that it is a commercial relationship between students and host families, there still are some excellent examples that have a win-win ending. And of course, they all show their respect and acceptance for the new culture. Lee, who used to be very shy, but with the help of his host families, dare to make speeches in front of the whole school. Alice had so great time with her American families that they even asked her to continue her further study in American. Accepting a new culture is not equal to denying yours. In a way, it reflects the capacity of one?s social ad aption on the contrary. Alice, I mentioned above, still observed Chinese traditions like eating dumplings on lunar New Year?s eve, sometimes together with her host families. There is no doubt that people will experience mixed feelings and difficulties while we integrating into a foreign society. But the attitudes that you take with you to your host country, and those you form once there, play an important role in whether you can join a foreign country. Because it will have a great effect upon your perception of the people and customs of your host country. British writer William Thackeray said “Life is a mirror. when you smile in front of it，it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it.” Treating cultural shock in a positive way, trying to understand and respect, I?m sure it will finally turn out to be something good.
正方：山寨文化不利 反方：山寨文化有利 正1（开篇陈词）:Good morning everyone….. "shanzhai culture" refers to the t products from the planning, creativity to the processing and manufacturing, as well as to the market process, producers and consumers and the community formed by a widespread social concern, or controversial cultural phenomenon. Our opinion is that shanzhai culture is bad for our country. Following are some evidence to support this point. First, shanzhai product is produced just by imitating other products, which means that those shanzhai products don’t have the property right at all. And they are illegal somehow. Second, shanzhai culture is so cheap and low cost that they may hurt the benefit of those regular product. And it’s unfair for the factory with the property right. Finally, only by imitating can we not improve the science and technology of our country, what we should do is to produce product with our own right instead of imitating. “山寨文化”则是指山寨产品从策划、创意到加工制造，以及推向市场过程中，在生产者和消费者以及社会上所形成的一种被社会广泛关注，或者引起争议的文化现象。我们的观点是山寨文化不利于我们的国家，以下是我的几点理由。第一，山寨产品仅仅是模仿他人，并没有属于自己的产权，一定程度上来讲山寨产品的存在是违法的；第二，山寨产品价格便宜低廉，因而他们抢占了正规厂家的市场，损害了他们的利益，这对他们是不公平的；最后，模仿是不能提高我国科技实力的，只有去生产自主产权的产品才可以。 反1（针对正1观点展开己方观点论述）:Thank for your account. Our opinion is that the shanzhai culture is good for our country. Just as what you say, shanzhai culture is low cost and cheap, so it is available for almost everyone to enjoy the benefit from the high-tech product. And what’s more, the development of the science and technology should be step by step. If we can’t master the shanzhai product, how could we master the high technology? Or, we can say the shanzhai culture is the basement of the developing of the science and technology to some degree. 谢谢你的论述。我们的观点是山寨文化对我们国家来说是好的。正如你所说的，山寨产品价格低廉，因此，更多的人可以享受现代科技带来的乐趣。除此之外，科技的发展是一步步来的，如果山寨产品都做不好，我们怎么去掌握高科技？或者说，一定程度上来讲，山寨产品是发展高科技的基础。 （自由辩论阶段，为了突出所谓的“交锋conflict”，不要继续按照234辩的顺序进行下去。自由辩论阶段每个辩手都可以参与） 正：I have a question to ask you. How can you develop the science and technology just by the shanzhai” 我有一个问题，仅仅靠山寨，你们怎么去发展科技呢？ 反：shanzhai culture is the manifestation of the power of the folk innovation. From copycat product case, although some is false and inferior product, but mostly through imitation and to give creative products, some products, especially mobile phone products, often a lot of integration of different quality brand strengths, according to the grassroots civilian needs, adding new features,

东西方文化的融合英语演讲稿 The East and the West, Let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures? Kipling said:“East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!”But now, a century later, they have met. They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts. Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own. I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am. But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs. So I have combined eastern melody with western language. It is called western henna opera. When two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. When this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. Then there are certain things some people may not like. T o this, I will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. To learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures
和“fltrp cup”结缘已经有五个年头了，伴随着比赛水平的提高，我自己也在不断地学习和成长。渐渐地，我对议会制辩论的理解也越来越明晰而深刻。纵观这几年的比赛，选手的水平总是停留在某个层次上无法拔高，总有些个瓶颈无法突破。究其原因，笔者以为是中西文化的差异所致。 合作vs拆台 孙中山先生曾感叹说中国人是“一盘散沙”，说的是中国人缺乏合作精神。中国疆域太广皇帝太远、利益集团太多；“大家庭”大到虚无缥缈如羚羊挂角无迹可寻，于是中国人自古以“家”为本，对再“大”一些的集体没有什么兴趣。在这样的文化中浸泡长大的中国人“天生缺乏合作精神”。 而西方的议会辩论的本质则是合作的，其历史可以追溯到古希腊。古希腊的城邦很小，人口不多，有什么事大家一般聚在一起开个会商量。为了找到解决办法的最佳策略，这才有了辩论。所以简单地说，议会制辩论就是开会。会上大家固然各抒己见，但会前大家至少在议题和目的上要达成一致，否则这会就没法开了。会议上大家所持观点不同，但目标一致。开会的实质是合作。 当中国辩手遇上议会辩论，场面就难免有些不伦不类。很多国外的评委到现在无法理解为什么中国辩手总喜欢在definition和criteria的问题上作无谓的纠缠，因为definition 和criteria简单地说就是会议的议题和目的。双方在这些问题上达成一致后，接下来的会议才是建构的(constructive)、积极的，有意义的。可咱们的辩手不是来合作的，而是来拆台的。正方自然要寻思着玩弄文字游戏，在definition上做文章，把对手逼上绝路；而反方也总是在找机会challenge the definition，甚至提出新的criteria以此重新夺回话语权。于是双方各说各的，整场辩论就变成了话语权的争夺，到最后开会的初衷已经无所谓了。 说vs做 同样让很多外国评委感到困惑的是，为什么中国学生总喜欢讨论feasibility。笔者认为，这一方面是因为中国学生的知识面比较窄，遇到很多辩题无话可说；更重要的原因则来自于中国人做事的文化。 决策者的缺位 在议会制辩论的实质是正反双方向决策者(在比赛中就是adjudicator)“推销”自己的观点，所以每位辩手在发言时的话语受众应该是决策者而非对手(opponent)。但是我看到很多咱们的辩手在辩论时—直冲着对手说话，互相攻击，似乎在试图说服对手接受自己的观点，而鲜有试图说服评委请评委定夺的倾向。有不少指导老师发现了这个问题，于是在训练时对辩手一再强调要“speak to adjudicators”，但这种习惯可不是短时间可以改掉的，因为在现实生活中，当学生有话要说的时候，找不到一个可以讲理可以主持公道的地方。决策者在我们的生活中—直是缺位的。 从小父母的话就是圣旨；上学后老师的话就是权威；工作后我们开始习惯了各种各样的“潜规则”。周围的人不跟你讲道理，只告诉你这是游戏规则；你要是不遵守游戏规则就只能出局。讲道理7你疯了吗? 几千年的专制压迫下，中国人已经习惯了沉默。自古以来能够为民请命的清官屈指可数，而且其中不少还落了个晚景凄凉。于是乎老百姓有什么话私下聊一聊泄泄愤就好了，说给上面听不但没用，还可能招来祸害。所以中国人到现在还不习惯告状，不习惯打官司，因为没有能够信得过的司法系统，没有信得过的法官。 写到这儿不知道怎么结尾了，因为一来从比赛中看到的还有很多，所以其实要说得还没说完，但目前能写清楚的就这几点了。二来，刻意写个结尾总结一下拔高一下升华一下多少显得有些做作。倒不妨在这儿先来个“暂停”，待到明年比赛也许自己能发现一些新的东西再

It was completed in 1889. 320米高的埃费尔铁塔是巴黎的标志。它建于1889年 埃菲尔铁塔 The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tu??f?l], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930; however, due to the addition in 1957 of the antenna, the tower is now

OK，ladies and gentlemen .im today is Leader of the Opposition。Id like to oppose the opinion that traditional literature is more influencial than popular literature. as is known tp all, Popular literature refers to those whose content are popular and easy to understand, the simple expression of literary works, with the network being the main platform,while The traditional literature refers to the literary forms which are different from the block of network literature.well now lets put it on the table It seems that popular literature ，compared with traditional literature ,has more influence on people . also, There is no denying that, as the main body of the environment, the popular culture, with the help of the network platform, has the characteristics of high exposure, high acceptability and strong attraction. But we hold the view that ,compared with it, the traditional literature with rich connotative and thoughtful features has a greater impact on people. The reasons are as follows. First of all ,popular literary works are compared to the traditional literary works on the surface, without profound analysis and characterization, and even superficial characteristics.Let’s think about the case of romantic ficton Nowadays, a large number of popular literary works are full of people's vision, but most of the subjects are martial arts words, but the content is popular and the expression is simple. merely for the sake of meeting the needs of public entertainment, it can not give people the mind. Besides, some of the plots in the popular literature are divorced from the reality of life. In recent years, there are many instances of excesses which are addicted to some TV dramas. The traditional literature is highly literary and rich in connotation. There is no doubt that it is more valuable to read. 2 the influence of the popular culturology is not lasting. Popular literature can bring people's sensory stimulation. Nowadays, under the background of information explosion, people's concerns are constantly changing. Popular literature will only be forgotten as time goes by. But the traditional literature is different. The traditional literature has experienced the baptism and test of time, which has proved its value in the long history. Its high literary value and thought-provoking characteristics make the traditional culture have a lasting influence on people. This is also the reason that traditional literature is remembered and that popular literature will disappear with time. 3 traditional literature is rooted in people's life. We will recite Men at their birth was good in nature like the traditional literature. These literary works have also unwittingly shaped our outlook on life and values. The themes of popular culture are mostly novels and essays, which are basically traditional literature. Therefore, the influence of popular literature is actually the mapping of traditional literature to people's influence. 4 traditional literature is more distinct than popular literature. Most of the traditional literature rich in philosophy, ethics and penetrating depict human nature. It can give people the shock and Inspiration of the mind. Popular literature is bragging and impetuous. The theme is not clear, the same is the same.
