Debates at Pocorn Club are different. There's no winner or loser. No scoring. The point is to listen with empathy, speak with logic, and learn tricks to be more persuasive. And it's super fun!
All around the world, the holidays bring families together; this is one thing Western and Eastern people have in common. And with these reunions, a lot of feelings tend to come up. Is it our duty to go see our family during the holidays? Should we be honest with them about our lives if it will disappoint them? How about paying for fake boyfriends or girlfriends to temporarily appease the parents? What about those relatives and conversations we dread? Should we put on a fake smile and tough it out, be honest about how we feel, or avoid them at all costs?
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 analyze some of the best (and worst!) ways to discuss and debate in English.
Pocorn Club 的辩论不太一样。没有赢家，也没有输家，没有打分。重点是带着共情去倾听，用逻辑去表达，顺便学点更有说服力的沟通技巧，而且过程真的很有意思。
在世界各地，节日都会把家人聚在一起，这是东西方文化的一个共同点。但团聚的同时，情绪也常常一起出现。节日期间去看家人是不是一种责任？如果坦白自己的生活会让他们失望，我们还该不该说实话？花钱请“临时男友/女友”来安抚父母这种事，又该怎么看？那些我们不太想见的亲戚、不太想聊的话题，到底是硬着头皮微笑面对、诚实表达真实感受，还是干脆能躲就躲？
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，更有用的倾听，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！
