Chapter 14 12. Debate

one It is only during the composition class that the Chinese teacher's unrestrained and leisurely style is revealed.The composition class lasts for two hours. During these two hours, teachers only need to write a topic on the blackboard, and they can use the rest of the time freely.This afternoon, every teacher was in class and busy, but Mr. Yang walked on the field with his sleeves folded. He was the only one in the huge school because he was teaching composition. Of course, a person who is serious about teaching like Mr. Yang will not have real leisure.Recently, students often complain to him, saying that they know a little about the method of essay writing, but they have nothing to write.They came to ask the teacher: When they take the entrance examination in the future, what should they do if they see the composition topic and feel empty in their minds?Mr. Yang could hardly answer.

Sir, please!A person came from behind.This is a stranger, carrying a leather bag, he doesn't look like a parent, a school inspector, or a stationery salesman.Probably looking for someone to ask for directions, Mr. Yang nodded to him. Excuse me, there is a student named Liu Baocheng in your school? Liu Baocheng, that's a student in Mr. Yang's class.Mr. Yang became interested in this stranger. I am an inspector of Daming Motor Company.The stranger said: We received a letter from Liu Baocheng, a student of your school, and the company specially sent me to investigate.With that said, he opened the leather bag and took out a letter.Mr. Yang knew it was Liu Baocheng's handwriting at a glance.The letter reads:

Mr. General Manager: May I ask you a question?What does the driver of your company do?Did it push people off the car? Your company advertises and puts up slogans, saying that it serves passengers.Serving passengers is not about pushing people off the bus.What's more, people were pushed to the ground!Besides, it's raining outside!What's more, there is water on the ground!What's more, we have an exam! Since you want to serve the passengers, the driver should be kind to people, close the door after we get in the car, and blow the whistle after we get off the car. When someone asks for directions, tell them well.Mr. General Manager, right?

If you serve passengers, she is not allowed to push people in the future! Below is Liu Baocheng's name and the school he attended. Mr. Yang said: The Discipline Office can help you with this matter.He took the inspector to the discipline office.Along the way, the inspector said naggingly: The company has always served passengers wholeheartedly.Our general manager attached great importance to this letter, and personally approved it and submitted it to the Audit Office. My brother came to your school for investigation on this official matter.We would like to know the details of the matter.With the date, location, vehicle frequency, and vehicle number of the accident, our company can handle it easily.The company has always been dedicated to serving passengers

Mr. Yang didn't pay attention to the nagging around him.He was thinking in his heart: Liu Baocheng's essays have never been fluent; how could he write a letter to the automobile company in a coherent and orderly manner this time?Of course, there is a big flaw in this letter. He didn't explain clearly the process of pushing people with the cart.He should talk first and discuss later, because what he said is the foundation of the theory; if he just talked about it but didn't say it, his theory would lose its basis, and it would be confusing to read.But as far as the part of the discussion is concerned, it makes people look at Liu Baocheng with admiration.

It's not difficult to imagine what happened to the cart's palm pushing people.Liu Baocheng is a student studying abroad, and studying abroad is very hard work, and he has to squeeze the bus at six o'clock every morning.In case of rain, every student would like to get on the bus early, and the crowds in and out of the bus will be even worse, and there is no order at all.The carriage is full, the door should be closed, and those who refuse to rest until boarding the carriage are still twisted into lumps at the entrance.At this time, the lady in charge was conflicted: for the sake of the passengers, she should try her best to be as human as possible, and for the sake of the company, she should drive as soon as possible.Once her loyalty to the company overwhelmed her sympathy for the passengers, she reached out and pushed down, pushing the people jammed in the car door.In that chaotic situation, there is no guarantee that no one will fall, so she will take advantage of your fall, close the car door, blow the whistle, and the car will drive quickly.Of course the people who were pushed were very angry, and those who were angry in their hearts must have a lot of opinions to say.It is probably under such circumstances that Liu Baocheng wrote the essay well.

Inquiring after the fact, this guess is very close to the truth.There was only a slight difference between the fact and the guess: it was not Liu Baoshu, but Jin Shanbao who was pushed down from the door by the driver of the car, and Liu Baocheng saw all this from the side: Jin Shanbao fell to the ground, covered in mud and water, unable to cry.This pissed off Liu Baocheng; if he had been a knight in the Middle Ages, he would have jumped on his horse and pointed his spear at the car and rushed away.Liu Baocheng in the 20th century could only write a letter to the automobile company to reason.

This incident reminded Mr. Yang: Emotion is also needed to write an essay, and without emotion, it is still not successful.At first, in order to make students understand the intonation of lyric and the syntax of essay, he once taught them to use their own reason. The training of reason has a foundation, and it is time to return to emotion.Whether it is a lyric essay or an essay, they are both outlets for the feelings in the chest. Some people are suitable for using one outlet, others are suitable for using the other outlet, and some people can use both outlets at will.His method of dissertation is to dig and dredge one of the outlets for the students. The outlet is opened, dug deep, straightened, and connected to the source of running water.It is a good fortune for students to connect to the source of running water in the composition class and achieve good grades. It is a good fortune to connect to the source of running water in the examination room of the entrance examination.So there is a term in the examination room: test luck.If Liu Baocheng opened the poem volume in the examination room, and the topic of the composition was how to improve the service spirit of the car owner, and the source of flowing water was immediately ready to flow, it would mean that he had good luck in the examination.But how do other candidates deal with this problem?If he has neither been pushed by the palm of the cart, nor seen others being pushed by the palm of the cart?What if Liu Baocheng's problem was not how to improve the service spirit of the driver, but the importance of science education?

two How to do it? Mr. Yang scratched his head and hesitated in class. When you face a composition question, you feel that it is too boring, you feel that there is nothing to say, you don’t want to write, you are too lazy to write, but you must write.How to do it?At this time, you have to remind yourself: I have no emotion on this topic.I have to develop a little emotion. You didn't have any objections to the driver, but when you were pushed out of the car by the driver, you immediately had a lot of opinions.You didn't have any complaints about the ice vendor outside the door, but when you got enteritis from eating ice, you immediately had a lot of complaints.You have no problem with your neighbor listening to the radio, but when he turns on the radio so loudly that you cannot sleep, you immediately have a problem.why?Because they force you, force out your emotions, and force out your opinions, you have to keep talking.

You were not pushed out of the car by the driver, but before you write about improving the service spirit of the driver, you can assume that someone pushed someone out of the car, and you seem to have seen that scene.You don't have enteritis, but before you write about food hygiene in summer, you can assume that an ice seller is spreading germs.Before you write about the importance of science education, imagine a scene: there is no electric light, we are sick and ask the gods to eat ashes, we don’t know what happened fifty miles away, and other people’s jets fly over our heads all day long.If you can think like this, you will have emotion, and with emotion, you will want to talk.

There are so-called imaginary enemies in military exercises.There is obviously no enemy ahead, but during the exercise it is assumed that there is an enemy ahead.The exercise was originally fake, and everyone might not be able to get excited, so an imaginary enemy should be used to stimulate everyone's emotions and make everyone feel angry.When writing an essay, sometimes you can first establish an imaginary enemy.Can the fisherman not save Jia Ren?If your claim is that you should be saved, then you assume that there is a person in front of you who claims that you should not be saved, and you disagree with his claim, so you must argue with him.Why study?If this is a composition topic, before you write it, look at it, look, look, until you see a confused father who would rather send his son to herd cows than send his son to school, you sympathize He also sympathizes with his children, you feel that you must tell the benefits of reading.If you can think like this, you want to talk and write. After a pause, Mr. Yang asked: Our school has coeducational classes for men and women. Do you think it is better for men and women to be in co-educational classes or separate classes? Good class!said the boy. Classification is good!The girls shouted together. Those of you who are in favor of joining classes already have imaginary enemies, and those of you who are in favor of dividing into classes also have imaginary enemies.Of course I have a composition topic: Talking about co-ed classes between men and women. Mr. Yang wrote the topic on the blackboard and went back to the office to drink tea.After a while, Director Hu came in from the outside and said to Mr. Yang: This semester, we are scheduled to arrange a debate meeting for the students, but we have not thought of a topic for the debate.Ideally, the topic should be interesting, have a close relationship with the life of the students, and be able to avoid side effects.Just now I passed by the door of the classroom and saw the composition question that my brother put up. I think it meets my requirements. Let's use it as a debate topic, shall we? Mr. Yang said: Of course it is good, but who is arguing with whom? We don't need to bother others, let my class of students argue with your class of students, what do you think? I listen to your arrangement. Once it's settled, I'll report to the principal. After Director Hu left, Mr. Yang thought about the debate by himself.This incident just matched the imaginary enemy he was talking about, which made him very happy.He remembered that any party participating in the debate had to send six contestants, one of whom was the main debater, one was in charge of the conclusion, and the remaining four were deputy debaters.It is best to have both male and female contestants. Liu Baocheng, Lu Zhunian, Gu Renfeng, Jin Shanbao, Zhao Hua, and Gong Mei can all participate.On this occasion, the most pity is Wu Qiang, who could have done a good job.If he hadn't stuttered.He had to think of a special job for Wu Qiang to comfort Wu Qiang's disappointment, so that Wu Qiang could also exert his strength. After thinking about it, Director Hu came in again. He was obviously very interested in this debate.He said: "The headteacher is in full agreement.He sat across from Mr. Yang, talking about the date of the event, how to draw lots to determine which side represents positives and which side represents negatives, who is hired as judges, the items to be graded and the method of awarding.Director Hu said: In order to increase everyone's interest, we set up a few more awards. We might as well have an award for best tone, best manners, best opinion, and an award for best wit.These awards are given to individuals and an additional award is given to the best performing group.this is a good idea. As a result of the lottery, Mr. Yang's class was in charge of maintaining the system of co-ed classes.The task is clear, immediately prepare.Mr. Yang brought Wu Qiang to the dormitory and said to him: In this debate, there is one most important job for you to do.The most important and important workers are not the ones who perform on stage, although they are the ones who win the praise.Any kind of performance is supported by a group of behind-the-scenes workers. Without the support behind the scenes, the performance will fail.Take movies as an example, the audience loves the stars, but there is no screenwriter, no director, no one in charge of the lighting, no one designs the costumes, no one composes the soundtrack, how can the stars shine all over the place?The people who work behind the scenes cannot be seen directly by the audience, but they can be seen indirectly from the stars.The audience cheers for the stars, but also for the staff behind the scenes.A qualified behind-the-scenes worker, he also felt happy when he heard the voice of the front desk.Not everyone can perform in front of the stage, nor can everyone be a pillar behind the scenes. These are two different talents.These two talents can be brought into play, can cooperate, can get things done well, and everyone is happy.When we participate in the debate this time, it is easy to find people at the front desk, but it is not easy to find people behind the scenes. Only you can be in charge.You come to taste the joys and sorrows of working behind the scenes.If you can find the joy of working behind the scenes, I will feel relieved when you go to the society in the future. Having said that, Mr. Yang pointed to the stack of composition books. This is today's composition.You read everyone’s articles, and list their reasons one by one for the combination of men and women, and one by one the reasons they oppose the combination of men and women.After you sort it out, we will mimeograph a few copies and distribute them to those who will be presenting for the debate, teaching them to prepare well. Wu Qiang did a good job of collecting information, and Mr. Yang called six more contestants to teach them face-to-face: We are in favor of co-ed classes for at least five reasons.Keep these five reasons firmly in mind, and use them when the time comes.There are at least five reasons why others oppose the combination of men and women. These five negative reasons are our five imaginary enemies. Think carefully about how to defeat these five enemies. In addition, Mr. Yang also talked about some things that should be paid attention to in terms of tone, manners and using the microphone. three On the day when the debate was held, the Discipline Office posted a notice on a large red paper, and all the male and female students in the school were extremely excited.I saw that the lineups of the two sides are: Four The main defense is Gong Mei Liu Baocheng, the first deputy The second deputy debater Jin Shanbao Zhao Hua, the third deputy Gu Renfeng, the fourth deputy Conclusion Lu Zhunian Negative defense Zhang Tiantai Chu Zihe, the first deputy The second deputy debater Wang Yuying The third deputy debater Lu Jie Zhu Lianshi, the fourth deputy Conclusion Kuang Ling As soon as the bell rang, all the students of the school entered the arena one by one. The chairs on the stage were lined up, and there were twelve contestants sitting there. The chairs in front of the stage were lined up, and six judges were sitting.After the meeting went smoothly, the principal first explained the purpose of holding the debate. The dean then reported the procedure and scoring method of the debate, and then argued against Zhang Tiantai. His attitude was very calm: Principal, judges, teachers, and students.In this debate, our position is negative, that is to say, we do not agree with the combination of men and women.In a moment, we will explain the reasons one by one.In my opinion, the biggest disadvantage of co-ed classes is that it is unfair and unequal.When working, all the hard work and risky work are always performed by boys.Minor and safe tasks are always performed by girls. When boys make mistakes, the teacher always punishes them severely. Girls make mistakes and receive light punishments.I think this kind of inequality is bad.I advocate separate classes for men and women. His words were met with applause.While applauding, everyone was worried for Gong Mei, the main advocate, whether she would be able to cope with this ferocious attack.Gong Mei stood on the stage, her face was pale, but her voice was very loud: Principal, judges, teachers, and students.I am the first to speak on behalf of the positive side. We are in favor of co-ed classes.We also have many reasons, wait a moment, we have to say the reasons one by one. Having said that, she turned around and took a look at Zhang Tiantai, who was on the opposite side. This look seemed to have a force to suppress the opponent, so the audience applauded. When the applause stopped, she continued: In my opinion, men and women should work together.Male students are strong and can carry bento boxes, while female students are weak and can sweep the floor. There is no inequality.When publishing posters, it is not unfair for boys to write and girls to draw lace.This is the use of each person's strengths.We sent female students to carry the bento, although we couldn't lift it, and we sent male students to paint lace, but they couldn't get used to it either.When a girl makes a mistake, the teacher only needs to scold a few words, because the girl is timid; if a boy makes a mistake, the punishment must be increased, because the boy has a thick skin. The audience laughed and applauded, the sound was quite noisy.Gong Mei should have paused for a while, and waited for the noisy voices of the students to quiet down before speaking, but she panicked, hurriedly said the last few words, and returned to her seat.No one heard the last few words clearly. On the other side, Chu Zihe, the first deputy debater, appeared: Just now, Gong said that men and women can work together in a combined class. My opinion is completely opposite.When men and women are in the same class, boys will fight with boys, why?Boys should be heroes in front of girls.According to records from our Disciplinary Office, there have been 16 fights and disputes since the beginning of this semester, all of which were caused by the co-ed classes of men and women.Dear students, please think about it, can this still work together? The audience shouted yes!right!Applause. Liu Baocheng played calmly: Student Chu Zihe cites statistics to testify, which I admire very much.But he doesn't know, I also have statistics.There are two middle schools here, and the dean of that middle school is my father. The audience laughed. Regardless of the laughter in the audience, Liu Baocheng said loudly: My father said that this semester, the students in his school had fought more than 20 times.But they don't have any girls, they are monk schools! The audience laughed again. Liu Baocheng said: You should believe his words, my father is an authority! This time even the teacher laughed.Liu Baocheng felt very embarrassed, and hurried back to his seat.I had prepared some information to prove that girls can maintain peace, but it was too late to say it.Then come up Wang Yuying: During the class meeting, I served as the chairman.It is extremely difficult to hold a class meeting in a mixed class of men and women.The female students would object to the opinions raised by the male students, and the male students would veto the case raised by the female students.This would not be the case if the class were all boys, or all girls. Wang Yuying's words were very plain, the audience did not laugh or make trouble.As soon as Jin Shanbao opened his mouth, it was different: What Wang Yuying said, I have to admit that she is right. Some students in the audience applauded and laughed. I raised several cases, all of which were rejected by the boys. Most of the students in the audience laughed, but the students in the front group were very anxious: what happened to Jin Shanbao?Forgot where you stand? But the male classmate also has credit, he can protect us.With the protection of boys, girls will not be bullied outside.If you don't fit in the class, tell us where to find boys for protection? These words set off a climax of excitement, but also gave the other party a chance to fight back.Lu Jie said: I don't think it's a good thing for a boy to protect a girl every day outside the school.This is too dangerous, men and women working together is really a dangerous thing.I think it's better to separate! After the main advocate and deputy advocate finished their speeches, Kuang Ling, who was in the opposite group, first stood up and made a conclusion: Dear teachers and students, we have expressed our opinions. In my opinion, these opinions are very substantial and well-founded. It really proves that the combination of men and women is not good.No wonder men and women have been studying separately in China since ancient times, not together. Hearing this, Teacher Yang secretly called out bad!His students collected information in advance to find imaginary enemies. There is no such thing as male and female divisions since ancient times. The other party suddenly raised this question at the end. I don't know how Lu Zhunian would reply? I can't see that Lu Zhunian has such a skill: My conclusion is: men and women should work together.Just now Kuang said that men and women have been divided into classes since ancient times in China. What he said was wrong.More than a thousand years ago, China had practiced co-ed classes for men and women, and the students in the two co-ed classes were: Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai! After finishing speaking, he bowed nonchalantly and retreated to his seat.The audience was very happy and applauded enthusiastically.Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai was a film that was about to be staged at that time, and Lu Zhunian picked it up at his fingertips and won the Best Witty Award.
