 论之夜：应试文化</a>\nHow good are exams as a test of one's aptitu
 de? We know it's not a perfect system\, but is it the best way? Is it the 
 only way when there are tens of millions of students graduating every year
 ? Could there be other ways? Do exams bring out the best in students?_x000
 D_ _x000D_ Since the reign of emperors\, China has been very centred on ex
 aminations as a way of categorizing and evaluating people. Around the worl
 d\, exams for entry to college or professional school are still an importa
 nt benchmark. Intelligence testing is further used to determine competence
  in court\, for insurance\, and for numerous other social applications. Wo
 uld a society without them work? _x000D_ _x000D_ Let's debate!_x000D_ _x00
 0D_ 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 lett
 ing you learn more about others and yourself!_x000D_ _x000D_ As we talk\, 
 we will analyze some of the best (and worst!) ways to discuss and debate i
 n English._x000D_ _x000D_ 考试作为一种能力测试有多好?我们
 知道这不是一个完美的系统，但这是最好的方法吗?每年
 有数千万的学生毕业，这是唯一的方法吗?还有别的办法
 吗?考试能激发学生最好的一面吗?_x000D_ _x000D_ 自皇帝统
 治以来，中国一直非常注重考试作为一种分类和评价人
 的方式。在世界各地，进入大学或职业学校的考试仍然
 是一个重要的基准。智力测试还被进一步用于确定在法
 庭、保险和许多其他社会应用中的能力。一个没有他们
 的社会还能运作吗?_x000D_ _x000D_ 让我们辩论吧！_x000D_ _x00
 0D_ 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。_x000D_ 
 _x000D_ 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！
