　　似乎是在介绍辩论场次相关的人员安排，如提到了正方、反方的分组情况，例如正方有9组、10组、11组等，反方有12组等，还提到了参赛人员可能是来自北京的学生，有文科、理科之分，但表述非常混乱。

　　如果按照要求去除无关表述，仅能得到非常有限的与辩题相关的可能存在的人员分组信息： 　　正方有9组、10组、11组等相关人员参与辩论。 　　反方有12组等相关人员参与辩论。 　　参赛人员可能是来自北京的学生，有文科、理科之分。

　　The negative side will have three minutes for their opening statement. Thank you. Next, the second speaker from the affirmative side will cross - examine the first speaker from the negative side.

　　Thank you for the speech. Now we enter the summary of cross - examination. Let's welcome the second speaker from the negative side. You'll have ninety seconds to give your speech.

　　See, the former is little and the latter is big. People get into entertainment and money gets into the pockets of the public. It is provided by social media and attracts attention. Or, the truth is a payment of the public using social media. The virtual proportion on this side is greater. However, during the whole topic...

　　Can we start? You, on your side, have the affirmative. So, would you begin your speech?

　　OK. You mentioned something, but actually I wonder about this: truth isn't something that is just discovered outside; it takes time to be realized. When people get some information, I mean, just getting information doesn't mean having understanding, and understanding is not the same as truth. In this age, people get so much information, just like we need to drink water. Here is my high - level question: if they don't have the ability to realize independently, how can they get real information? There are many ways to get information, of course. Even if they don't have a certain medium, they don't have the independence to realize.

　　Everybody... (This part seems to be some unclear statements that might be errors in voice - to - text conversion).

　　OK, but actually we know that some news spreads very quickly among people. However, when people check the news, they find nothing, and almost become victims. How can they check and verify?

　　Thank you. Now we will proceed. Thank you for the speeches of the critics. Now let's summarize the point - to - point debate section. First, we will invite the affirmative side to speak. You have a large amount of time to give a speech.

　　In the age of social - media, the negative side is that from the beginning to the end, the increasing amount of information in China affects people's understanding. People are only exposed to information that aligns with their views. And this creates a situation where people act like they only allow one - sided views. Also, as you mentioned, some people will share information as a fact regardless of whether they truly understand it or not. This gradually weakens our ability to judge. In conclusion, we must recognize this problem with social media: it is not leading people closer to the truth, but rather creating more falsehood.

　　辩题为：In the age of social - media, people are getting closer to the truth. vs In the age of social - media, people are getting further away from it.

　　环节为：Free Debate

　　正方：Thank you for your speech. Now we will have the free debate section. Each side will have three minutes to state their views. Our side will speak first.

　　In this age of social media, there is an influx of information. People are more likely to get closer to the truth. According to the information we get, people are paying attention to seeking the truth. Although there may be some distractions like games, but overall, people are still able to distinguish truth from falsehood.

　　反方：I don't quite agree. There is a lot of false information on social media. For example, some news about stocks may be misinformation. And sometimes, people are more attracted to entertainment rather than truth - seeking. They may be misled by false information six times more often than the truth. Even after the police check, there are still problems. So, in the age of social media, people are getting further away from the truth.

　　Thank you. Now we're moving to the conclusion section in this discussion. Each side will have two minutes to give the concluding statement.

　　For our side, we firmly believe that in the age of social - media, people are getting closer to the truth. Social media has provided us with a vast amount of information sources. Through various platforms, people can access news, reports, and opinions from all over the world.

　　Although there may be some false information on social media, the development of fact - checking mechanisms and the increasing media literacy of the public are constantly helping us to filter out false information and get closer to the truth.

　　In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool that enables people to approach the truth more effectively in this era.

　　In the speech of the affirmative side, ten people spoke. Now, let's welcome the speaker from the opposite side.

　　We provide information for family truth. Social media doesn't manage all. For example, a photo on social media spreads fast. However, people use information much more quickly, not all of which is true. This makes people get further away from the truth.

　　Secondly, we can also make friends through information. That's what people do regarding the truth. And I also notice that there are some things that cannot be... Now let's talk about clarifying. Most importantly, the media has a magic effect. It makes the audience be aware that it takes us further away from information.
