 It's a demand job to debate 8 rounds in only 3 days. It requires both physical and intellectual strength but at the same time, we have gained a lot from the challenges.
Different from the other tournaments, the XISU-INTERNATIOANL attached great importance to debate education. As we debated on, we came to understand more about the environmental issues which were the central theme of this tournament. Meanwhile, we have learned a lot about the social problems at home and abroad.
It is the first time I worked with my partner in a World Style format. In each round, we learned about each other's strength and shortcomings, worked out the strategies together to win others. It's one of the most enjoyable partnerships I have ever gained.
The tournament gave us great opportunity to clash our ideas with debaters from all over the world. It's not only a challenge of language ability but also a challenge of intelligence. In this process, we learned from each other and have definitely gained a lot.
