我们一共只有12个场次，现在第7个都已经结束了，进度已经过半，时间过得好快，我都没什么感觉，这一轮感觉又要结束了。

　　能看得到吗？ 　　可以。

　　我测试一下启动器，切换。

　　我们先整备一下，针对这两款洗衣液展开讨论。第一轮我们先把前三个话题分散开。

　　总分怎么分，直接分就行。准备时间大概10几分钟比较合适，不过我也不确定具体话题，每个话题大概只有2分钟左右，因为现场发言时间好像就是2分钟。不会的，到时候应该会提前告知题目让你准备，不是像之前那样直接给题然后只给两分钟发言时间，应该会提前出题。

　　大家先试一轮，先准备5分钟。第一轮第一个话题，有人想尝试吗？今天下午我们每个人大概要参与3个话题的辩论。在辩论中，有时候会出现一种情况，就是觉得对面的观点才是自己的观点，这很正常。我之前参加辩论时，就很容易露马脚。我大学那次辩论，对手真的很厉害，我们甚至能猜到对面会问什么问题，并且把问题和答案都准备好了，所以打得很轻松，完全没有压力，就跟玩一样。如果提前给我们题目，我们也可以采用这种方式。正常来说，都是会提前准备的。我们当时准备了很久，好像是国庆期间，大家边玩边准备，因为每个辩手准备的内容不同，大家各自准备，找各种各样的数据材料，最后每个人手上基本上都有7 - 10张纸。

　　现在得快点决定第一个话题谁来尝试，如果没人主动，那我先上。我们俩来一场怎么样？你选吧，你想选正方还是反方。那我就打反方吧，我不太会答辩。那我打反方，你打正方。第二个话题，大家再看看谁来参与，先确定三个人。

　　我有个问题，辩论流程是怎样的？最开始是两个人先分别表述自己的观点，然后会有一段自由辩论环节，双方交替对对方观点提出质疑并回应，最后结辩时再回应对面提出的问题并总结自己的观点。

　　我们先准备5分钟。第三个话题由秀和Mandy来，可以吗？现在是16点，我们准备到21点开始辩论。先分一下正反方，第一个话题分好正反方后，第二组再分。第二组谁想要正方？你呢，你想要正方还是反方？如果你要正方，我就选反方。明子，你要正方还是反方？正方好像难度低一些。

　　现在确定辩题：More money needs more sadness。请写一份30秒钟的英文开篇陈词，以及几个可以证明这个辩题的数据来源。

　　我们打完第一场后直接进行第二场试试。

　　等一下，我先调试一下。

　　谁是正方？我是正方一辩，进行开篇陈词： 　　“Dear students, there are two reasons. First, mobile phone provides us with various study resources. You know, it's the information age, and there are numerous study videos available on the Internet. It can improve the study efficiency. Second, it is also a kind of social need. It can be an essential part of life, no matter in communication or socialization.”

　　反方一辩，开篇陈词： 　　“And I think mobile phones are not necessary for school. Because for students, if they can't manage the use of mobile phones and don't have the ability to control themselves, they may just be distracted by it.”

　　正方辩友，你说开始我再计时。

　　Actually, in students' daily life, if they want to communicate with their family members and friends, they just need mobile phones. So, if they don't have a mobile phone, it is difficult for them to make contact with their important people.

　　No, wait. Okay, I think mobile phones are not necessary for communication. Maybe we are still in school now, and we can communicate as we want. A phone is just a way to communicate, but it's not a necessary way to communicate with the important people we want to talk with.

　　However, although students are at school most of the time, sometimes they go out and sometimes they are at home. So, students need mobile phones to help them keep in touch with friends. Also, you mentioned that students can manage their mobile phones. But I have to say that everything has two sides. Actually, what matters about mobile phones is that teachers and parents should give students reasonable guidance instead of restrictions.

　　我这边时间快到了，你快说，不然时间要没了。

　　And I think for the students, they have the freedom, but they sometimes cannot control themselves. You know, they are easily distracted.

　　再说了，OK, actually I know what you mean. I think it's really important for students to have the ability of self - discipline instead of just being restricted. Actually, using a mobile phone is an essential part of real life. It can be a life skill for students to learn how to use and manage their phones. So, teachers should...

　　正方一辩开篇陈词： 　　Well, in my opinion, mobile phones in themselves may, in the beginning, just be tools for self - study. Maybe in the beginning, people just want to study with them. As time passes, how can students only use phones for study and not in other ways?

　　So actually, you may say the phone can be a temptation, a tool that distracts. But I have to say that it's still good and can help children develop the ability to manage their time. If you just restrict them from using phones in college, without your restriction later, they won't be able to adapt to phone use. Actually, learning how to use the phone is a lesson we, even as middle - school students, have to learn.

　　Person: I think middle - school students should go abroad to study. I think abroad they have better educational resources and different perspectives from ours. If our students go abroad to study, they can learn different cultures and advanced technologies, which will be beneficial for their development when they return to China.

　　反方一辩开篇陈词： 　　Well, you advocate that middle - school students should study abroad. But middle school is a crucial stage for building a solid foundation in basic knowledge and forming a stable value system. At this age, students are not mature enough to handle a completely different culture and educational environment alone. So it's better for them to study at home.

　　Actually, I don't agree with that. Because I think the education systems abroad have their shortcomings, but in our country, our education system also has some deficiencies. The children in middle school are so young that they can easily fit into a new environment and learn. There are some different educational models abroad, and they are better.

　　Actually, I think you mentioned that they have a more different education. But I think middle school is a key stage for building a solid educational foundation. The education system at home is designed to gradually develop a student's knowledge and skills step by step. If they go abroad at this time, they may encounter a disconnection in the educational curriculum, and maybe they will experience a cultural shock.

　　Yes. Just as you mentioned the importance of middle school. Do you know that in China, students in Shanghai start learning English at a very young age? So it's not about the cultural shock because they are young and they should learn better knowledge. If they are exposed to different cultures, they can choose the good aspects and discard the bad ones. When they come back, they can bring better resources to our country.

　　OK, you mentioned that they can bring some Western culture to China. But I want to say that without the proper guidance of parents and teachers in a familiar cultural context, it's difficult for them to distinguish right from wrong. There are also safety concerns. Middle - school students are not capable of taking care of themselves, and not everyone can bring their parents abroad to study with them.

　　Actually, there are some ways to solve that. There are student subsidies and scholarships, or you can do some part - time jobs.

　　I want to say that not everyone can do that. Because parents cannot be by their side all the time to protect them. So it's not a wise choice to send them abroad at this age.

　　总结词，反方第一辩。Conclusion: Middle school students should not study abroad. Their immaturity makes them still unprepared for the cultural, psychological, and academic challenges overseas. They are at a critical stage for building a solid foundation at home with a familiar environment. So, sending them abroad will hinder their development. It is better for them to study at home first.

　　I think it is still necessary for students to go abroad. The first reason is that there are better educational resources. Secondly, it can broaden your horizons and it will be an unforgettable experience in your life. There are more benefits than drawbacks, so I think it is necessary and beneficial.

　　自由辩论环节，要根据对方所说内容，给出关于该问题的答案，同时提出自己要问对方的问题，不能处于被动状态，不能只等对方提问然后一味回答，而不主动提问。自由辩论可以反驳对方观点，然后再回应对方的反驳。刚刚在自由辩论时，我感觉自己大多时候在反驳，却没怎么主动提问。

　　你提到有些家长无法承担送孩子出国的费用，孩子也不适应国外环境，这其实就是你的观点，我也对此进行了反驳。可能由于时间限制，一分半的时间里，一个人说30秒就过去了，一分半可能每人只能说三次，这让人感觉不太好。不过之后上场的自由辩论不是一分半，而是7分钟的版本。

　　另外，“More money means more happiness”有三个理由：首先，人们有更多钱就能满足基本需求，不用担心食物问题，还能丰富阅历、减轻压力；其次，人们有更多钱就不会有财务问题，能获得更高的资产权益。然而，在一个多数人看似富有的世界里，很多人实则落后。有研究表明，物质需求和积极态度对收入和幸福的影响并非必然。相反，更多的钱往往会带来更复杂的财务困扰。我们坚信，在现实中，更多的钱并不一定意味着更多的幸福。

　　三二一开始。

　　If people have a lot of money, they don't need to worry about food. They can get high - quality food, obtain a lot of nutrition, and thus stay healthy. If they get sick, they can receive high - quality healthcare and a variety of treatments. People with a lot of money can lead a healthier life and become better.

　　According to a study by Peking University, once people's basic needs are met, the positive effect of income on happiness will fade and become less significant. Problems such as financial issues or social ones will start to emerge. As people accumulate more wealth, the burden may become heavier.

　　They don't have to worry about earning a large amount of money for survival and supporting their families. They can gain a lot of experience. They can travel around the world, visit different countries, and have a wide range of experiences. They can go abroad to travel and participate in various activities.

　　However, sometimes, if you have a lot of money, your children may just try to take advantage of you, which can make people feel sad.

　　Money can't solve all problems. You can't deal with everything with money, but you also can't do anything without it.

　　Data from the World Values Survey across multiple countries reveals that the pursuit of marriage and health as a whole is positively associated with a lower material - oriented lifestyle. People who focus more on non - material aspects will become happier.

　　我的观点是，更多的钱会让人变得更加伤心。我刚刚查阅了两项研究。

　　普林斯顿大学的研究表明，当人们的基本需求得到满足后，拥有越来越多的钱反而会让人压力增大，变得更加伤心，这可能会导致一些经济方面的问题，社会也可能会对其有过多期待，这些都会让人更伤心。

　　世界价值观调查显示，追求物质的人与较低的生活满意度相关联，而追求精神层面的人则与较高的生活满意度相关联。

　　In conclusion, we clearly support our stance that more money means more sadness. The pursuit of wealth often leads to sadness, and the constant pressure to maintain and grow wealth takes the place of material health. So, in conclusion, after meeting basic needs, people need rich experiences. If they feel unhappy, it is because they don't have a right value for the world and the ability to deal with problems.

　　现在请你作为正方一辩，围绕辩题撰写一份30秒的英语开篇陈词，并提供可以证明这个辩题的数据和来源。另外，我们这次辩论的时间是5分钟还是7分钟？如果涉及时间更改，要改哪几个时间点？我查看一下相关内容。
