In Davie's debate clubs, there's no winner or loser. It's not about a score. It's about speaking logically, persuasively, and when necessary dramatically. It's about listening actively and disagreing with empathy and conviction. Master those skills, and you'll become a great debater!

The debate over gender roles in China is an ongoing one. Strong traditional views in a quickly modernizing society with a self-proclaimed masculinity crisis cause a lot of push and pull on some pretty basic questions. In this debate club, we'll look at it specifically in the dating world. Does a man need to own a house if he's in the dating scene and looking for marriage? Is it inappropriate for girls to chase after boys they like? Is it inappropriate for a girl to have many partners but ok for a guy? Should the man always pay on the first date? How about the second and the third date? 

Let's debate!

Come explore explosive topics like these, and see where the argument takes us! Controlled arguments help build skills like expressing yourself clearly, listening deeply, and disagreeing respectfully, all while letting you learn more about others and yourself!

 

As we talk, we will analyse some of the best (and worst!) ways to discuss and debate in English.

在 Davie 的辩论活动里，没有输赢，也不看分数。重点是把话说得有逻辑、有说服力，必要的时候还得有点戏剧张力。这个活动中，我们认真聆听，带着同理心去辩论，同时又不丢掉自己的立场。把这些练好了，你就能成为一个很厉害的辩手！

关于性别角色的讨论在国内一直没停过。传统观念很强，社会又在快速现代化，加上还有所谓的“男子气概危机”，导致一些挺基础的问题上各种拉扯。这次辩论俱乐部，咱们专门聚焦到约会这个场景里。一个男生如果正在找对象、奔着结婚去，他是不是必须得有房？女生主动追喜欢的男生，不合适吗？女生多谈几段恋爱就不太好，男生就可以？第一次约会是不是必须男生买单？那第二次、第三次呢？

让我们辩论吧！

一起来聊聊爆炸性的话题，看看你有多能侃！理性的讨论可以帮助每个人自我提升，比如更精准的表达，更有效的倾听，尊重不同的观点。与此同时，也可以从别人身上学到不一样的东西，了解一个全新的自己。

 

这期club我们就来讨论这个话题，并分享一些超棒（和超烂）的英语辩论吧！
