辩题：Mobile phones are necessary for middle school students vs not necessary

　　谁要当正方，谁要当反方？现在确定反方是张芳。那你们两个先来发言，我和Wendy随后。

　　好像是正方先提出观点，我们有准备时间吗？有，你们先准备一下。我觉得直接说的话有点仓促。

　　另外，我们是换下一个辩题，还是接着这个呢？都可以。要不我们换一个？不行，还是接着这个吧，每个辩题每个人都尝试一下。你选择正方还是反方？我都可以。那我选正方。

　　你们两个准备好了吗？来吧，先试一下。

　　One today, my opinion is that mobile phones are very necessary for middle school students. First, I want to say it can help us study in many aspects and improve our efficiency in study. It also can help us interact and make our daily life more convenient. Also, they can help us with entertainment.

　　好，你开始。

　　One today, we will talk about. I think mobile phones are not really necessary for middle school students. First, mobile phones are not very necessary for study. It will also be bad for your social and mental health, and it's also bad for your physical health.

　　开始。

　　A：Can you really understand everything your teacher told you in class and you don't need the mobile phone after the class? Can you show that? I was a middle school student of our school. It is not allowed to have a mobile phone. It will make us not focus on the study. I think if you want to ask for help with your study, you can ask the teacher or classmates who study really well. You don't need to have a mobile phone. If you want to relax, you can do some sports.

　　B：You said that nowadays students are geographically limited because they can only stay in their school and hometown, and they seldom have the opportunity to find their interests. Maybe the mobile phone is a very good choice for them to explore new areas. However, if you really depend on the mobile phone, it may cause a huge mental health crisis or other physical problems. It's really bad for your eyes, and you will be influenced a lot by the mobile phone, so you won't have the ability to study well.

　　A：I know that. You said that students may not need a mobile phone because they may lose self - discipline. But if they can make some rules for how to use the mobile phone, it will help a lot, right?

　　B：If you think you'll have some rules, then why do you need a mobile phone at all?

　　OK, 准备好，正方开始。

　　OK, for my opinion, I still remind my opinion that mobile phones can provide us with experience. So we can use our phones to explore many new areas that we don't have the opportunity to contact. Also, if you think we may spend too much time on the mobile phone, the teachers or parents can make some rules for its usage.

　　So, do you think if a person is very addicted to the mobile phone, you will give us some rules to help them get out of the mobile - phone addiction? And there's a lot of information on the phone that will cause people to be more and more addicted.

　　我感觉无论是陈述观点还是反驳，都好像没有有效地反驳对方。因为刚开始时我们很着急，计时又有提示音，所以我们很慌乱，既不知道自己在说什么，也听不清对方在说什么。没事，我们慢慢来。刚要组织语言的时候，计时就已经开始了。

　　反正我感觉这是人生第一次打辩论，然后就很想笑。奥斯卡，就是这个问题，我也不知道怎么解决，就是正方计时完成后，反方要自动开始。你有什么解决方案吗？

　　我觉得在听对方说的时候，对方说到什么观点，你想好怎么反驳了，就开口反驳。但如果没听懂对方的话，就容易脑袋空空。我就是很容易听不懂对方说什么，因为我需要反应时间，我的反应比较慢。

　　没事，这是我们第一次辩论，而且只有我们几个人，不用担心。来一把，然后我录一段。别发群里，为什么要发群里？拍照就不录了。行。

　　Hello guys, this is Dora. Today I'll tell you mobile phones are necessary for middle school students. I say that because in the digital age, everyone uses the Internet to learn some new skills. It's very useful and repetitive. So, I think we should let middle school students use mobile phones. Okay, that's all.

　　Hello guys. Today I want to talk about mobile phones. In my opinion, I think mobile phones are not necessary for middle school students because mobile phones can cause dependency and addiction. So, I don't think it's necessary for middle school students. That's all.

　　Okay. For your opinion, when you say children have a dependency on mobile phones, I think it just depends on whether you can make good use of your mobile phone. If you can control yourself, the so - called “dependency” doesn't exist. So, I don't think your opinion is correct.

　　Well, we need to be clear that we are talking about middle - school students. Even adults may not have the ability to control themselves, let alone middle - school students.

　　Okay. For this point, I want to ask you. In school, teachers can supervise students, and parents can also keep an eye on them. Students can only use mobile phones within a limited scope. So, I think the so - called “dependency” is unfounded.

　　OK. Can you give me some details about the measures teachers take to control students' use of mobile phones for study? Can they control every student?

　　I will tell you the solution. For example, teachers can collect all the mobile phones from students in the morning and at other times when students may use them. Then, they return the mobile phones to students when needed and collect them again later. That's the solution.

　　Okay. I also have a question. If some students don't listen to the teacher, how can this problem be solved?

　　OK. I don't have time to answer this question. Goodbye.

　　自由辩论结束。

　　For today's topic, regarding whether mobile phones are necessary for middle school students, I think it's reasonable to hold the view that mobile phones are necessary. As I see it, parents and teachers can supervise middle - school students' use of mobile phones, and students can use mobile phones to learn new skills. That's all.

　　Well, maybe we all experienced the COVID - 19 pandemic. Even though most middle - school students had to learn online and at school, we can also see the results. There are many students...

　　If the debate can be prepared in advance, it may be a little better than impromptu debates. However, it's not really about full - fledged preparation because you never know what questions the other side will raise. You can only prepare materials from different aspects. If you want to refute the other side, your side must have sufficient materials to cover possible questions from the other side. Moreover, if you are on the anti - side, you also need to think from the pro - side's perspective.
