第一篇：英语辩论赛正方发言我们是否应该过外国节日

Nowadays some Western festivals are becoming more and more popular in most Chinese cities and I agree to

celebrate western holidays in China and I will give three reasons to support my view.First of all, the celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and

communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures.Secondly, with the development of economy, different peoples contact each other more frequently.The world become smaller, exactly speaking, we are living in a globe village.In order to get on well with people coming from other countries, we must learn their cultures.For example, if foreign friends are living in china, they may become homesick especially on festivals.If you are kind enough to give them some congratulations on that day, they may be moved and show great respect to you.Communications will be much easier.Moreover when we are on festivals days, we always have a different mood.We are more joyful, full of more expectations.So why don't we celebrate it? Of course when we are celebrating foreign festivals, we should not neglect or forget ours.We will never forget our Mid-Autumn day or Spring Festival, National Day and so on..So don't worry about that.Life is easy and colorful.All in all, no matter for what, happy and enjoy is the main topic for us.We celebrate Christmas just because we can enjoy it, we can get much happyness from it.Besides, celebrating it is not means we forget our own tradition festivals

As we all know, there are so many festivals in the entire world, including Chinese traditional festivals and Western festivals.I strongly disagree to celebrate western holidays in China and I will give two reasons to support my view.To begin with, western festivals have the cultural and historical origins in the western countries, which are unknown by Chinese people.There are so many western festivals, for example Christmas Day, which are originated from Christian and this is not believed in by the majority of Chinese people.We could not gain the happy feeling since we could not understand these holidays’ meanings.Most of us don’t believe in Christ, God or religions, and few of us know the meaning of Christmas I feel uncomfortable for a religious holiday

Furthermore, there are so many meaningful traditional festivals in China, from which people could have a rest and get relax.As far as Chinese people are concerned, the Spring Festival is our favorite festival, which is celebrated by Chinese people no matter where they are.In the festival, without the burden of work, people call on relatives, visit their respected teachers, and chat with their best friends.Besides, there are other meaningful and instructive festivals in China, such as Autumn Day, National Day, Pure Bright Festival, etc.To sum up, there are different kinds of meaningful and adequate festivals in China to celebrate and western festivals’ background are unknown to Chinese people, so it should not be celebrated by us.反方问题

1、We have a lot of traditional festivals, like the Spring Festival and the Mooncake Festival，But why should we celebrate western festivals?

It’s right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivals but it’s not proper to reject the foreign ones on this account.As late Chairman Mao said: “Make the past serve the present and foreign things serve China.” In fact, China has been receiving some foreign festivals on a selective basis since the reform and opening like Christmas Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and are becoming popular festivals among the people.Besides, As a traditional Chinese festival and a typical Eastern culture, the Chinese Spring Festival is being observed by foreigners in many countries.2、As far as I know, some big cities like chongqing, the Christmas atmosphere is more joy and interesting than some cities in US.Chinese don't know why celebrate Christmas, but they are still do that zealously.Do you think whether it is good phenomenon to us？

Although most people celebrate western holidays without knowing the meaning behind them.They just go shopping, hold parties and have fun..It’s not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the western festivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.To the whole society, Christmas can stimulate the country’s economy and the people’s consumption, increase the income of tourism and catering industry and other entertainment industries, creating more social wealth.正方问题

1、when it is Christmas，Most people, including me, get many messages or cards of Christmas best wishes from friends.Could you say western festivals give no entertainment to us？

It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture.So festivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years.such a festival as Christmas possesses strong religious sense and colors.I feel uncomfortable for a religious holiday2、The celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures.Could you say It is useless？

Most of us don’t believe in Christ, God or religions, and few of us know the meaning of Christmas, what’s the point of celebrating it? Christmas is a festival full of religious colors and meanings for the Christians.If the non-Christians participate in the observance, they are subservient to foreigners.So let’s keep our mind on the traditional Chinese festivals instead.Today what we are debating the topic is whether we should celebrate other people's festivals?

On the affirmative side we have and on the negative side we have Both teams have showed great debating ability in today's fierce competition.Let us now await for the adjudicator's scoring.I am sure it is going to be very close.And I think all contestants need to be congratulated for their outstanding efforts.The score is in, and the winner of today's debate is

Than you all for coming.In recent years, many chinese, especially young people celebrate Christmas as one of the most important festivals.They buy Christmas gifts for their beloved ones and there are parties and many kinds of activities during Christmans season for people to enjoy.wherever you go on the streets, you always see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of delicate decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats.Most people, including me, get many messages or cards of Christmas best wishes from friends.But meanwhile, some people stand against the practice of celebrating Christmas among the Chinese people.they said we should keep to our own tradition and there is no reason to observe a foreign festival.

第二篇：英语辩论赛(学生是否应该穿校服,正方)

Hello, Kehan.Hello Jenny!I recently read a piece of news , it said there was a survey in a large forum , which was whether students should be forced to wear uniforms.85.7% of the participants voted ‘Yes’, while 2.2% voted ‘No’.In my opinion, it has its reason that this tradition can exist among countries with different development degrees of education all over the world.For schools, uniform can be a reflection of a school’s appearance and a symbol of a school.It can make a school look neat instead of looking like a place of public community or somewhere.It’s easier to manage the students and point out the different people to ensure the safety of students.I have learned that serious violence in school occurred frequently, especially the things in Jiangxi and Zhejiang.So my point is it’s better for students to wear uniforms.Well , that’s a good point, but I want to say, for students, uniforms can also be the signs of them.It can remind students who they are and what they should do.Junior and high school students are mostly in adolescence and often express their feelings through the clothing that they wear, if they keep focusing on this kind of behavior, then they will miss the other part of individuality establishment.Wearing uniforms can alleviate this problem and reduce the situation of material comparisons made by dressing in order to let the students put their more energy on the study rather than what they should wear today.In that way, every one looks equal no matter handsome or not so handsome.Therefore, I believe it’s better for students to wear uniforms.

第四篇：英语辩论赛：是否应该执行死刑(反方四辩总结)

Good afternoon,Mr judge,honorable opposition and my humble partners.This house believes that death penalty should not be applied.Death penalty advocates have used the economic standpoint to make their case.Just as the opposition said.More convicts means more prisons which means more money.By killing murderers, we can save money!By this rational, we should execute all convicts and have no prisons!Think of the money we would save!Abviously, we can not put a price on a human life.The most common point held by death penalty supporters is that it has the effect of deterrence.But there is no convincing research that can show how death penalty functions better than life imprisonment.According to Stephen Nathanson, the author of “An Eye for an Eye”, the fear of death does not usually stop people from doing what they want to do.“Mountain climbers risk their lives for thrill and adventure;cigarette smokers risk their lives for pleasure;speeding drivers risk their lives in order to get to their destinations a bit faster.” The same goes with criminals.If a criminal tends to kill somebody, He just lost his reason , Nothing can stop him ,even the death penalty.I believe that death penalty should not be applied.Firstly , The death penalty is a violation of our most radical human rights.The right to live is a basic right of every human being , and No man has the right to decide when a life ends ,even if it is our country.Two wrongs don't make a right.Secondly , The purpose of death penalty is to prevent people from breaking the laws ,but the effects are not as good as we expect.According a investigation , in the nearly 20 years , the crime rate didn’t decreased or even increased.Thirdly , the death penalty is irreversible, which is unlike all other punishments.There is a lot of evidence showing that many innocent people are often convicted of crimes, some of which even have been executed.Fourthly , we have to doubt what the meaning of death penalty actually is.There is no doubt that it gets some sort of revenge on a criminal, however, we should think over whether a model society should seek revenge.Fifthly , The criminal is not the only one who has to face the punishment.It is unjust for his/her family who have to go through the loss of a loved one.From above, I insist we should abolish the death penalty, because it is outdated, and it denies basic human rights.Today, more than 100 countries have abolished the death penalty.If some countries can, why can’t the rest? I insist that death penalty should not be applied.Thank you!
