赛程历时2天，分成多场进行，共有来自上海、北京、深圳等地的多所国际和私立学校的约200名学生参加。辩手如果在稍早场次获胜，那么，在接下来的场次就会遇到越来越强大的对手。林子朔组连赢7场，比赛难度一直在增加，过程很是激烈！

林子朔作为启明星英文辩论校队的队长，多次闯入NHSDLC美式辩论联赛决赛，这次比赛是他首次夺冠。

他反思说，此次获胜的原因是他在赛前做了大量调研，从而能够对赛中应用的数据进行合理解释，并对正反方辩稿都做出了充分准备。整场比赛下来，自己的赛中辩论和最后的总结能力大幅提升。

林子朔说，打辩论是很享受的一件事，一上来就要面对瓶颈期，需要大量调研，立即提升口语表达能力和叙事和逻辑，很令人兴奋。不仅如此，辩论是团队项目，同学之间密切配合，相互学习，能够建立深厚的友谊！

“辩论赛的辩题和社会发展热点紧密联系，练习辩论可以帮助你拓展眼界，接触平时并不会接触到的世界，所以，辩论也是一个帮助个人成长的过程！”林子朔说。他还透露，启明星辩论校队下一学年计划扩大队伍，初级校队会招募新队员，欢迎感兴趣的同学给子朔发邮件！

The entire tournament lasted 2 days, with multiple rounds. About 200 participants from international and private schools in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen took part. If the debaters won in the earlier rounds, they would face even stronger opponents in the later rounds. Tony Lin’s team won 7 consecutive rounds, so the difficulty level kept increasing, and the process was very intense!

Tony Lin is captain of the Daystar English Debate Team, and has reached the NHSDLC finals multiple times. This time was his first championship win.

He reflected that the reason for his victory was that he had done a lot of research before the competition, allowing him to provide reasonable explanations for the data used during the debate, and he was well-prepared for both the affirmative and negative arguments. His in-debate debating and final summary skills have also greatly improved.

Tony said that debating is a very enjoyable activity. Because at the beginning, one has to face bottlenecks and needs to do a lot of research, immediately improving one's oral expression, narration and logic abilities, which is very exciting. Moreover, debate is a team event, and during the debate process, teammates collaborate closely, learn from each other, and can establish deep friendships!

"The debate topics are closely related to social development issues, practicing debate can help expand your horizons, expose you to the world that you normally don't get to encounter, and is also a process that helps personal growth!" Tony said. He also revealed that the Daystar English Debate Team plans to expand its team next school year, and the junior team will recruit new members. We welcome interested students to send email to Tony!
