I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

Then two things happened that slightly disrupted the rhythm of learning.

The first thing is about the debate team, and the second thing is about the school sports meeting.

At this time, Yi Yang received a text message. The sender's name was Xing Yingdan. The content was concise, asking him to have a meeting on the playground after class in the afternoon.

Yi Yang thought for a while and simply replied "No!"

Because there is a chemistry competition class to attend after the main class today, and chemistry is one of the few competition subjects that he can still listen to.

After just replying to this message, not long after, a classmate suddenly came over and called him: "Yi Yang, someone is looking for you at the door."

Yi Yang raised his head and was slightly startled.

Xing Yingdan was already standing at the door.

…

On the balcony, the autumn sunshine was full of warmth. In the small corner, Yi Yang leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes in comfort. Xing Yingdan across from him once again said dissatisfiedly: "This time you must participate."

Yi Yang sighed: "I have classes..."

"Isn't it just a chemistry competition class? I'm a second-year student. If you really think this afternoon's class is important, I can sacrifice some time to make up for you."

"Well……"

The words have come to this, it would not be a good idea not to say anything anymore.

Seeing that she had finally convinced Yi Yang, Xing Yingdan nodded with satisfaction, "See you there or not!" she waved her hand and left.

Back in the classroom, Yi Yang sighed silently.

Wang Sangning asked from the side: "Who was the girl who came to you just now?"

"She...is the captain of our debate team and the vice president of the debate club."

"Wow, the debate team!" Wang Sangning looked admiring. In her opinion, the debate team is a very powerful person, but she is not good at it. She does not have such good eloquence.

Of course, Wang Sangning’s understanding of debate so far is just a verbal battle on the field.

"What is she looking for you for?" Wang Sangning continued to ask curiously.

"There is a debate competition."

"Do you want to participate in the debate competition?"

Yi Yang nodded, but at this time he was more helpless.

In fact, after joining the debate club, except for the first week when everyone got together and bumped into each other, there was no intersection after that. Let alone the debate competition, they didn’t even meet each other twice. As time went by, he almost forgot that he was still a member. Such a society.

Of course, the debating club originally had very frequent activities. The reason why the number of activities has decreased during this period is that they are changing their leadership.

The previous president, vice president, and a liaison officer have all been promoted to the senior year of high school and have to concentrate on their studies. The second year of high school has just finished the novice period of high school. Compared with the senior year of high school, the academic pressure is not as great. It is full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. High-spirited times.

A group of high school students gave speeches to canvass votes in a decent manner, and conducted democratic elections. It was quite interesting.

That is to say, during the change of leadership, Xing Yingdan from Class 1, Grade 2, succeeded in taking over and became the vice president.

After the change of leadership is completed, the first thing to do is to form a team.

The team-building model is not democratic.

There are six debate teams in the Debate Club, and six captains will be selected at the same time during the change of teams. When forming a team, the six captains will recruit people from the freshmen in turn to add to their own teams.

The number of people in a team is variable, but this year the old members have withdrawn and new members have taken the place, which is basically more than 8 people, and the debate format they use is a 4-debate format, so there is quite a lot of overstaffing.

Because everyone has their own affairs, the time may not be consistent, and it is impossible to be on call at any time. It is necessary for each debate team to have more carrots than carrot pits. When it is time to compete, temporarily form teams from within the team and interact with each other. as a substitute.

The captain of every debate team is basically succeeded by an old man from within. Xing Yingdan was once the best debater in their team, so naturally he became the captain.

And after she became the captain, the first person she chose was Yi Yang.

She was the third captain to choose. The first two captains were also girls. When they were still embarrassed to choose boys because of their reserve, Xing Yingdan chose Yi Yang, the tallest and most handsome among the crowd, without any ceremony.

After the selection, she added: "Who did you choose? This guy is tall and handsome. It would be a pity not to use it as a defense."

Yi Yang had a hunch that hanging out with Xing Yingdan would definitely not be a pleasant thing... As for why, he couldn't tell, it was probably a man's sixth sense.

However, after Xing Yingdan selected him, he has not held a debate competition until today.

So far, Yi Yang's understanding of debate competitions is on the same level as Wang Sangning's. He has not yet undergone a complete debate training.

Xing Yingdan has already received the debate topic, and the competition will be held this weekend.

Now that he has decided to go, he shouldn't have too many distracting thoughts there. In fact, Yi Yang still has some expectations in his heart. After all, he was not forced to choose the debate club in the first place.

But before this happened, another thing came at the same time.

Before get out of class ended in the morning, Wang Sangning was called to the office by Shen Xiaoding. When she came back, she had several watches in her hand.

Oh, Wang Sangning also has another identity. She is the sports committee member of the class.

Of course, it is not uncommon for girls to serve as sports committee members at the High School Affiliated to Normal University. There have been many examples before Wang Sangning, but she is indeed the only female sports committee member in the first year of high school.

Her reasons for becoming a physical education committee member seemed rather perfunctory. During the first physical education class, the physical education teacher asked if there were any physical education students in the class. Only Wang Sangning raised his hand, and the physical education teacher waved his hand, "It's just you, physical education committee member."

Sports committee members don't have much work, and most of the time it's a false position. Once there is a job, it will obviously be the sports meeting.

After the National Day, the Autumn Sports Games are organized and held, which is a tradition.

At this time, Wang Sangning stood on the podium, waved the watch in her hand, and said: "Students, I want to inform you that the sports meeting will be held next week. Students who want to register can get the registration form from me!"

Not many people responded at the time. Only a few boys like Liao Liao raised their hands. Wang Sangning looked a little sad for a while.

The sports meeting has target tasks, and how many events each class must participate in. If mobilization is not effective, it will affect the selection of outstanding classes...

For teachers, this is very important, especially for class teachers, as these are all linked to performance at the end of the year.

Shen Xiaoding also has a carefree personality. He usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, so he delegates full authority to Wang Sangning and lets her organize it.

Several classmates who are close to Wang Sangning want to help her share the burden, but they are really beyond their capabilities and are not good at sports. There is a high probability that they will be embarrassed if they go up. If they are destined to be embarrassed, why do they still go up? Sports meetings have always been a special event for sports students.

Seeing that no one signed up for the competition, Wang Sangning could only silently write her name on six events: 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, high jump... But even so, there were still two more to go. .

He couldn't help but look at Yi Yang pitifully.

"Yi Yang, please do me a favor..."

Naturally, he saw Wang Sangning's little actions, and was amused in his heart. He shook his head and criticized: "You...how can this matter be your fault? Even if I want to help, it can't be considered a favor to you. This is a class matter. , everyone has a responsibility, don’t take all the responsibility on yourself.”

"Uh-huh……"

"Let's do this, write my name on the 3000 meters and 1500 meters."

"That's great! Thank you, Yi Yang. I'll treat you to a barbecue when you're done."

"good."

…

Things about the sports meet should be put aside for a while. The most important thing at the moment is the debate team.

When it comes to debate, Yi Yang can be said to know nothing. Not only is his experience in the previous life useless, but his knowledge so far in this life has not touched this field. He came to the place designated by Xing Yingdan like a curious baby. place.

That location was in a corner of the playground, close to the wall, far away from all sports facilities, and sparsely populated.

Yi Yang saw two people already waiting there.

A man and a woman were chatting happily.

The boy's eyes are not big, and his small eyes are full of shrewdness. The girl is a fat girl, wearing prototype glasses and speaking with a Northeastern accent.

Seeing Yi Yang coming, the girl said, "Hey, our first debater is here!"

Yi Yang is not familiar with their names yet, but they all remember him, which he has long been used to... It is easier to leave a deep impression on others, and being remembered by others can be regarded as a result of rebirth. A big advantage.

Not long after, captain Xing Yingdan finally arrived holding a notebook. He ran all the way over, panting, and said, "Sorry for the long wait!" But there was no apology in his tone.

If I could describe Xing Yingdan in one word, it would be thin.

Her legs are very thin. Compared with Wang Sangning, she lacks a healthy and energetic flavor. Her bangs are neat and her facial features are very delicate when viewed separately, but together they give people a strong feeling.

Xing Yingdan looked at her watch and said, "Then let's stop talking nonsense and get started." Looking left and right, she noticed that there was no one in the stands. She pointed to a corner and said, "Let's go over there and sit and discuss."

Under Xing Yingdan's arrangement, everyone went to the stands and sat down, and then she slowly took out her notebook.

"I'll keep it short."

"The Rookie Cup debate within the club is about to begin, so I asked everyone to come over and prepare. Today is our team's first official pre-match discussion."

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. It doesn't matter. I will answer them one by one."

"The first is the debate competition environment in our school. In addition to the Newcomer Cup in our club in the second half of each year and the Hope Cup in the first half of the year, the school also holds a whole-school debate competition in April every year, which is held in class units. From time to time we will also We held competitions with students from other schools... By the way, our school's debate team went to the Normal University last year and played a competition with a group of college students from the Normal University... Well, in short, the debate atmosphere in the school is very good."

"Next, let's talk about the Rookie Cup."

"Everyone knows that our debating club has six teams. This number basically remains unchanged. Unless we really cannot recruit new people in a certain year and reduce the number of teams...otherwise, no matter how many people there are, everyone will eventually join these six teams. One of them."

"Our six teams are a team with a glorious tradition. Whether it is the Rookie Cup or the Hope Cup every year, we are the team that wins the most championships. Every year, at least one of the people who enter the school team to compete with other schools is from Our sixth team came out. It was me last year and the old captain the year before that. Our excellence is inseparable from our tradition of leading the new with the old. Next, as your captain, I will definitely get everyone into the state as soon as possible. Of course, the prerequisite It’s you who does love debating.”

"Currently, there are three seniors left in our sixth team. In addition to me, there are Feng Tiantian from Class 4, Grade 2, and Yun Shi from Class 7, Grade 2, but they have already focused on other things, so the newcomers I’m the only one here to take care of everyone.”

"In addition to us three old people and you three newcomers, there are also two newcomers. If you are unable to come due to something, you will be each other's substitute. This is probably the composition of our sixth team."

After a pause, Xing Yingdan continued: "I believe you haven't had much exposure to debate, right? So, I will use this warm-up match to familiarize you with debate."

Xing Yingdan stood up, "We are using a four-person debate format. There are four debate positions. Let's get to know each other first and introduce ourselves. Let me see which position each of you is suitable for."

The fat girl smiled cheerfully, "My name is Wei Ting."

The boy said: "My name is Zhan Chao."

Yi Yang followed suit and said, "My name is Yi Yang."

Xing Yingdan shook her head and was quite dissatisfied with their self-introduction and said, "This is not the self-introduction. You have to introduce your own characteristics."

"In debate competitions, it is important to form your own style and leave a deep impression on the audience and judges. Of course, forming a style is basically the standard for experts. Novices cannot talk about style, but they can develop it. , the first part of the competition is self-introduction, you have to think carefully about your own style..."

Sighing, Xing Yingdan continued: "Forget it, let's start with the basics today, tell you about the competition system, and determine everyone's debater position."

"The layman's impression of debate competitions is all about verbal exchanges, back-and-forth, and endless golden sentences. In fact, that is just a layman's view."

"The competition format we adopt has a total of five major links."

"The first is to make an opening argument, which is carried out by the first debate. The goal is to give the audience and judges a first impression, so there are two requirements. One is to have a good image and temperament, a good voice, and reading skills, so that everyone can listen to you, which will be very useful. Advantage……"

Everyone looked at Yi Yang.

Xing Yingdan nodded: "It seems that everyone agrees with me, so we have decided, Yi Yang, you will be a debater."

Yi Yang: "..."

"After the first debate is established, the next step is the second debate questioning session, where the second debater questions the other party's argument. This requires listening carefully and patiently to the other party's argument, and at the same time quickly reacting to the other party's loopholes."

"The third link is the three-debate cross-examination session. The three debaters stand up and randomly select one of the opponent's debaters for a three-minute cross-examination... I have always been the third debater. Of course, if you want to be the third debater, I will also You can let it out.”

Xing Yingdan did not say anything about the qualities required for this position.

"Everyone should know about the four debates. In summary, this debater position can be said to be the most important, and there is a possibility of a comeback."

Xing Yingdan looked at Zhan Chao and Wei Ting and said, "You two should discuss who will be the second or fourth debater?"

Wei Ting and Zhan Chao looked at each other, and Wei Ting said: "I tend to be the fourth debater, you see..."

Zhan Chao said: "Then I'll make the second argument."

I don’t really understand it anyway.

Xing Yingdan nodded, spread out his notebook, and said: "The topic we got this time is whether we should confess our secret love. We are the right side, and we must confess our secret love."

"Next, let's start discussing. Argumentation is not just a matter for one debater alone. It is almost our position and we need to build it together!"
