　　很開(kāi)心能和隊(duì)友一起捧得C組季軍的獎(jiǎng)杯！首先非常感謝全體語(yǔ)文組老師對(duì)我們每位參賽成員的辛苦指導(dǎo)。回憶這場(chǎng)比賽，可謂是驚心動(dòng)魄：歷經(jīng)兩連勝進(jìn)入復(fù)賽，復(fù)賽以總分略高的優(yōu)勢(shì)驚險(xiǎn)出線，最終在準(zhǔn)決賽時(shí)，惜敗對(duì)手，奪得季軍。其中有歡笑、有失落、有鼓勵(lì)、有感悟。雖然沒(méi)有奪得冠軍，但作為我們隊(duì)第一次比賽，我知道每個(gè)人都已經(jīng)傾盡全力了。我們會(huì)從對(duì)手身上總結(jié)優(yōu)點(diǎn)以取長(zhǎng)補(bǔ)短，希望我們青苗能在縱橫杯的賽場(chǎng)上再創(chuàng)佳績(jī)！下次成功坐上冠軍王座！

　　首先我要感謝整個(gè)中文部，特別是我們尊敬的指導(dǎo)老師Ms.Sandy，還有我的所有隊(duì)友。通過(guò)這次縱橫杯聯(lián)賽，我學(xué)到了關(guān)于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的交流技巧，提升了思維靈敏度，對(duì)思辨能力也有了更深刻的認(rèn)知……賽場(chǎng)上的每一刻我其實(shí)都緊張的不得了，可我知道自己不能辜負(fù)這幾個(gè)月的努力和隊(duì)友們對(duì)我的信任。希望明年我們?cè)俳釉賲枺@得更好的成績(jī)！

　　記得訓(xùn)練初期，我們對(duì)辯論都沒(méi)有太大的信心，是Sandy老師一直在給我們鼓勵(lì)和支持，讓我們?cè)谝淮未蔚氖≈谐掷m(xù)獲取經(jīng)驗(yàn)，在一遍遍地練習(xí)中不斷探索成長(zhǎng)。我認(rèn)為這次比賽的核心精神就是團(tuán)結(jié)，無(wú)論是遇到了多么強(qiáng)的對(duì)手，我們都有給彼此打氣加油，無(wú)論是遇到了多么大的坎坷，我們都一起面對(duì)！我有過(guò)緊張，有過(guò)失落，有過(guò)疲憊，但在這場(chǎng)辯論賽中，我也清晰感受到了在自我表達(dá)和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作上的成長(zhǎng)，相信這場(chǎng)比賽帶來(lái)的收獲會(huì)使我受益終生！

　　在比賽前的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)期，我們辯論班的同學(xué)真的好似泡在了辯題里，閑暇時(shí)間都在一起寫(xiě)辯論稿、討論辯題，組織不同年級(jí)之間的練習(xí)賽，互相共享觀點(diǎn)，請(qǐng)專業(yè)的老師講解辯論技巧，為的就是用最充分的準(zhǔn)備和飽滿的熱情去迎接一年一度的辯論比賽。

　　不管是第幾次來(lái)到賽場(chǎng)，都是那么的令人激動(dòng)，正如中文部老師們所說(shuō)，這不僅僅是一場(chǎng)比賽，更是一個(gè)讓人學(xué)習(xí)、歷練成長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程。我們?cè)跍?zhǔn)備的過(guò)程中學(xué)習(xí)，在對(duì)手的身上學(xué)習(xí)，在評(píng)委的評(píng)價(jià)中學(xué)習(xí)，在整個(gè)比賽中學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)習(xí)思辨能力、學(xué)習(xí)如何傾聽(tīng)和表達(dá)、學(xué)習(xí)臨場(chǎng)反應(yīng)能力和應(yīng)對(duì)突發(fā)事件的處理，從而變成更加全面優(yōu)秀的人，這就是辯論比賽的真正意義所在。

　　每個(gè)年級(jí)組有自己的隊(duì)伍，相信這些和同學(xué)們一起合作、一起努力的美好回憶是會(huì)被永遠(yuǎn)銘記，感謝辯論帶給我們的一切，使我們的生活變的更加豐富多彩并且充滿熱情！

　　從最初訓(xùn)練時(shí)的目光游移、不知所措，到賽場(chǎng)上充滿自信的申論、從容不迫的質(zhì)詢、咄咄逼人的自由辯、有條不紊的結(jié)辯，我親眼見(jiàn)證了這些孩子們成長(zhǎng)的全過(guò)程！比賽中，他們失利后能迅速調(diào)整狀態(tài)，全情投入下一場(chǎng)比賽；在連續(xù)三場(chǎng)比賽的高壓狀態(tài)下能控制節(jié)奏，穩(wěn)定心態(tài)，以最佳狀態(tài)全力以赴；懂得從對(duì)手中學(xué)習(xí)、從每場(chǎng)評(píng)判的點(diǎn)評(píng)中學(xué)習(xí)，舉一反三、現(xiàn)學(xué)現(xiàn)用……可以說(shuō)，每位辯手都呈現(xiàn)出了最好的自己，將最閃亮的一面留在了賽場(chǎng)。全隊(duì)完美演繹了全情投入、堅(jiān)持到底、誓不放棄的比賽精神！

　　就比賽而言，賽場(chǎng)是最重要的時(shí)刻；但對(duì)于“終身學(xué)習(xí)者”來(lái)說(shuō)，重要的時(shí)刻，早在春天那個(gè)不經(jīng)意的一瞬開(kāi)始了?！衲甓路?，13名同學(xué)在中文組四位老師的帶領(lǐng)下，開(kāi)啟每周“唇槍舌劍”的辯論練習(xí)。其實(shí)，孩子們很忙：忙托福、忙補(bǔ)數(shù)學(xué)、忙彈鋼琴……但是，無(wú)論是周末、晚上還是長(zhǎng)假，我們的辯論群永遠(yuǎn)都在活躍和更新。他們才十一、二歲，但他們的自律和付出遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了我作為一個(gè)老師對(duì)他們的期待。這就是孩子們的熱情！他們的熱情點(diǎn)燃了老師的激情：老師再忙也愿意在備課間隙看看他們的進(jìn)展；老師再累也樂(lè)于在陪自己孩子的時(shí)候偷偷關(guān)注一下他們的論據(jù)搜集……就這樣我們慢慢走了半年多，而他們也羽翼豐滿，出發(fā)上場(chǎng)了……至于收獲，我知道，早已在他們囊中。

　　The 4th Zongheng Cup Debate Competition, gathering over 300 delegates of 50 teams from 20 schools, from Beijing, Shenzhen, Hefei and Tianjin has finished yesterday. The BIBS team has won the 3rdplace of Group C and Group B, with Tommy Zhang and Nikita Ju winning the Best Match Debater and Lisa Pang winning the Best Game Debater.

　　Best Match Debater

　　Class 8.1 Tommy Zhang

　　Very happy to win the 3rdplace of Group C with my team! I really appreciate all my Chinese teachers for their instructions. It was a tough game and we have had our fun, joy, disappointment and achievements. Although we missed the championship, I know we all did the best we could. We will learn from this year and hope to win the gold metal next time!

　　Best Match Debater

　　Class 8.1 NikitaJu

　　I must say thank you to my team mates and the entire Chinese teacher department, and especially Ms. Sandy. It was a good opportunity for us to learn about teamwork, communication and quick thinking. We also have a better understanding on critical thinking skills now. The match was intense, and I knew I must not fail our own efforts and my team mates’ trust. We will come back next year, and do better!

　　Best Game Debater

　　Class 9.1 Lisa Pang

　　At first we were not confident at all, and it was Ms. Sandy who has encouraged and supported us all along. She taught us to learn from our failure and grow with the experience. I think the match was all about teamwork spirit. No matter how strong the competitors are, we stick together and never lose faith. I was nervous, lost and tired, but in the end I realized how much I have developed on expressing myself and teamwork — great lifetime gain!

　　We spent so much time preparing for the competition. We wrote scripts, discussed the strategy and held mockup competitions among grades, then invited experienced teachers to give their feedback, and then revise our scripts and practiced again… All for the final competition.

　　Every game was exciting, and like our teachers said, rather than just a game, it was also an opportunity to learn and grow. We learnt from preparing, from our competitors, from the judges, and from the games, about critical thinking, about listening and expressing, about quick reaction and emergency responding.

　　The competition will become nice memories of our life.

　　The BIBS team did a good job, and I’m very proud of being one of them to witness my students’ outstanding performance. I’m so happy for having such excellent students in my teaching career.

　　Chinese Teaching Dept

　　Sandy Yang

　　From total strangers to well-trained debaters, I have had the pleasure to witness my students grow. Our little debaters were able to recover one failure and quickly shift their focus to the next game, and brought their bests to the competition. They respected and learnt from their competitors, and totally devoted themselves to the games. It was great spirit and performance.

　　Summer Wang

　　Who can say the competition did not start in the spring when we began preparing? This February, 13 students and 4 Chinese teachers set off their journey and started practicing week after week, while each of them had other routine classes like TOEFL, math and piano etc. However, weekend or holiday, we were always practicing. Being 11-12 years-old teenagers, their self-disciplinary surprised us. They have been passionate as we teachers do. After half-year preparation, I knew winning was inevitable.

　　Chinese Teaching Dept

　　Icarus Wang

　　The G11 students in Group A have demonstrated outstanding logical thinking and language skills. They were clear with their points and used strong arguments. They also presented very good reacting abilities during the free debating. The team performed very well during the match and as the instructor of Group A, I feel very happy for having spent valuable time with my students for a successful debating event from which we have all achieved a lot.

　　Chinese Teaching Dept

　　Joyce Wang

　　Glad to see our students fought for their dreams! They all performed very well during the competition and I can only relate their success to the hard work they have done prior to the match. They used their spare time preparing, discussing, communicating and practicing, and the team played as a whole. They deserve the winning!

　　The flowers from Shunyi PTA parents represents our appreciation to the lovely teachers from the Chinese Teaching department, for all their help and support! The competition brought our students honor, courage, optimism, and personal development. Go all little BIBS warriors!
