【英语辩论赛主持稿】Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and participants. Welcome to the English Debate Competition. It’s a great honor to be here tonight as we gather to witness an exciting intellectual showdown.

First of all, let me take a moment to thank everyone who has come here today. Your presence adds value to this event and makes it more meaningful. We are proud to host this competition, which not only promotes the use of English but also encourages critical thinking and effective communication skills.

Now, let me briefly introduce the structure of the debate. This competition consists of two teams: the affirmative team and the negative team. Each team will have three speakers, and they will present their arguments in a structured format. After the opening speeches, there will be a cross-examination round where each speaker can ask questions and challenge the other side. Finally, there will be a closing speech from both sides, summarizing their main points and reinforcing their stance.

Before we begin, I would like to remind all participants to maintain respect and courtesy throughout the debate. Language is a powerful tool, and we encourage the use of clear, logical, and respectful expressions. Remember, the goal is not just to win, but to learn and grow through the exchange of ideas.

We also want to express our gratitude to the judges for their time and expertise. Their evaluation will be based on clarity of argument, logical structure, language proficiency, and the ability to respond effectively to opposing views.

Now, without further ado, let’s begin the competition. First, the affirmative team will present their opening statement. Please welcome them.
