我们最初对美式辩论的一无所知，在老师和队友的帮助下，我们终究战胜了各种困难，从容以对，取得了满意的成果。希望更多的同学能够大胆尝试，感受英语辩论的魅力！
The entire experience felt like a rewarding odyssey. We navigated through twists and turns, and it turned out that all our efforts paid off. I want to extend my gratitude to my parents, teachers, and, most importantly, to myself for mustering the courage to embark on this journey from the outset. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is truly memorable!

这次比赛不只是激励的唇枪舌战，更是一次很好的学习机会。这是我第一次正式接触美式辩论，从最初的不知所措到最后的出色表现，这次比赛既锻炼了我的逻辑思维和英语表达能力，也让我有机会认识了很多来自美国的同龄人。赛场上我们是针锋相对的正反方，赛场下我们是文化交流和传播的使者。

尝试新事物总是伴随着疼痛。在繁忙的学业之余，挤出课余时间准备辩论绝非易事。从辩论训练上的头脑风暴到寝室里的挑灯夜战，从最初的茫然不知到最后的得心应手，准备过程便是收获的全部。但无论前路如何荆棘，有搭档并肩，有父母鼓励，有老师支持，终究会一路繁花灿烂！
Learning the art of debate and engaging with American debaters made for an unforgettable experience! Despite the constant pressure and the occasional late-night preparations for the competition, the sense of achievement and satisfaction overshadowed it all. Moreover, forming friendships with American debaters has given me valuable insights into life in another part of the world.
