It's more crucial for students to earn knowledge

It's more crucial for students to mould character

　　等我一下。挺好，没有其他的，我只是觉得能在我所在的学校里找到一个跟我有一样想法的人很罕见。毕竟我们在同一所学校，我班里都没一个人对这个东西感兴趣。我竟然还能找到对英语感兴趣的人，挺不错的。

　　我觉得如果你自己参加，说不定能在你学校里找到志同道合的人，这比你一个人练习要好，会有一种有伴的感觉。

　　你说的话让我想起之前看到的一句话：“你不要拉着朋友上路，你要在路上找朋友。”确实，这是一种奇特的体验，因为以前我没有这种感觉。

　　那你等我一分钟，我去问一下我们班长。你说的那句话我得去问一下，我没懂意思。你说的话让我想到一件事，前段时间我们班通知了一个英语演讲比赛，当时我跟班长说我想参加，但后来没了后续，我不知道他是把我忘了还是怎样。我跟你讲，在我们学校都是自己找老师报名。刚才说起这个，我想起来了，我再问一下。

　　对啊，去参加。如果能在现实生活中遇到跟你有一样爱好的人，是比较难得的。

　　哎呀，要是你能过来就好了。我也想啊，你离得这么远。毕竟我觉得网络和现实还是有差距的，我喜欢身边有真人陪伴，就像我一直不喜欢网恋。很多时候我们都会忙起来，自己有事要做，如果是在网上，可能就会顾着自己的事情，不可能一直在线。如果是线下，能看到对方是什么样子。

　　确实，线上时间有限，而且咱们都有自己的事情。不过至少能让咱们多点机会见两面，不至于像以前一样只能写信。

　　等一下，换个话题，你们讨论网购。你的观点不太好阐述。那咱们先不讨论网购了。有争论性的话题才好玩。

　　我认为网购很好，众所周知，它能在我们的日常生活中给我们带来很多好处，比如它能带来极大的便利，还能让我们买到各种各样的商品和结交各类朋友。

　　Well as for me, I think shopping online is very good and as we all know it can bring us so many benefits in our daily life. For example, it can bring us so much convenience and you know we can buy all kinds of goods and make all kinds of friends. It's very OK.

　　跟我想法一样，这个观点我认同。现在说两句，Well, as well, no before the turn of the Internet, shopping online couldn't bring us so many benefits. If we want to choose our favorite things, if we go shopping online, our choices are limited. There are big limitations in our daily life. But now, we can use smart devices and choose whatever apps to select our favorite things. It is very convenient whenever and wherever. We can choose the things we want, and it can help us save time and money. These apps provide so many kinds of products. If we aren't content, we can return the goods. But in offline shopping, it's difficult to return the goods. This is a fact, and offline shopping is often more expensive and time - consuming.

　　OK, as you say, online shopping has its convenience. I admit it's convenient, but there are many problems. If we need something urgently, online shopping is very slow.

　　等一下，自由辩论中咱俩的发言时间各一分半，你用完了就不能再发言了。我等一会去问一下工作人员。你说话的时候记得是在消耗你的时间，如果你打断我，消耗的也是你的时间。行，我懂了，你接着说。

　　Maybe in online shopping, we can buy something cheap, but we have to admit that the quality may be bad. You get what you pay for. In the delivery process, the goods are easy to break. Also, if we buy clothes online, it's difficult to choose the suitable ones for us.

　　In conclusion, I just want to repeat my opinions. When I was a kid, our network was not very good, so we couldn't buy many things I wanted to buy. But now, we can choose whatever things we want to choose. If you can't shop online, you have to go to buy those things, and you will waste too much time, especially for those who are very busy.

　　Nowadays, especially for young people, they don't want to waste too much time on shopping. So, I think our young generation wants to shop online.

　　Yes. Nowadays, shopping online is very convenient. The key is that it's easy to buy something online. So this is the question: if people have money in their phones and don't have the ability to control their spending, they may spend more money on shopping. They may become addicted to their phones and online shopping.

　　You can say that if you can shop everywhere and at any time, you will spend more time and money on online shopping. You may always buy things that are not necessary for life. In your life, there may still be very useful things, and online shopping may take up your space.

　　总结不了，OK了。我觉得你这点讲得还挺好的，确实没问题，应该能。那应该这么说，怎么反驳我？我想想，被我反驳了，这种不太好玩吗？

　　But I just want to say at the same time. If you don't use PAS for online shopping and choose to shop offline, you will waste a lot of time. Most people, especially our young generation, don't want to spend too much time on this. I think in order to follow the trend of this age, online shopping is the new wave, and it is more suitable for our young people.

　　等一下，我刚才走神了，你前面第一句说的是什么？说的是买玩具吗？怎么可能买玩具。我的意思是，现在年轻人不愿意花那么多时间在实体店购物，也就是线下购物。为了顺应时代趋势，他们更倾向于线上购物。

　　其实，我最近真的有一点感觉，我觉得我的听力比以前有了一点进步，但不是特别明显。我能够听清楚一些句子里的名词了，这在我考四级的时候是做不到的。那时我听听力，说实话一句也听不懂，现在能听懂一些单词，但整句话还是听不懂。我个人感觉，天天听听力真的有点用，就看我能不能坚持了。

　　真要努力啊，那个视频给了我很强的心理暗示，让我越来越想努力，感觉不努力不行。我要去翻一翻以前中级班的视频，给自己鼓鼓气。听你这么说，我心情大好。

　　行，还有最后一个话题。我都写在上面了，结果说着说着说到别的地方去了。等一下。

　　Well, I just want to repeat my opinions. I think knowledge is like a foundation. If you don't acquire knowledge, it's a horrible thing because you can't clearly identify what is good or bad. You can't distinguish right from wrong when doing things.

　　At the same time, it's easy to lose your direction and be over - confident. For example, I want to ask you a question. Maybe you know why in China, tests and grades are very important. That's because our social system requires us to learn more and more knowledge and some new things. We need this knowledge to help us find jobs and develop our careers in the future. This is related to our government system.

　　Yes, maybe knowledge can make us know what is right and wrong, but that's not enough. If you don't have good character, just knowing what is right is of no help. For instance, some high - school students with certain skills still kill their classmates. I think it's because if they have a lot of knowledge but lack good character, they are likely to cause harm to society. They are prone to do bad things in our community.

　　If students have good character, no matter what they do, they can make correct decisions. They know what things should be done and what shouldn't, and they will always respect the rules in our society.

　　我感觉咱们B已经成陈述观点了，怎么了？这一次都没有打断。

　　OK, I just want to say I just want to debate you. I think if we acquire knowledge, it can also help us. It can teach us to learn some good things. Why? It can cultivate our mentality, or it can teach us how to build up a healthy relationship with other things.

　　But it's up to you what things you want to receive. And if we acquire more knowledge, it can help us to improve ourselves and accept others.

　　Yes, and it's easy to find a job after graduation. This is very useful. OK.

　　Yes, I know the knowledge is very useful and helpful. But if students don't have good character, no matter how much knowledge they acquire, it won't be beneficial. Character is more important, and it is the first thing students need to cultivate.

　　No matter whether a person is intelligent or not, as long as they have good character, they won't do bad things. If they only have a lot of knowledge but don't know how to be a person of good character, they may do many bad things in the countryside or even in the country.

　　What's the English word for “国家”? Country. I suddenly forgot. I originally wanted to say that without good character, they will cause harm, but I couldn't find the right word.

　　What does “correct” mean? Does it mean “to correct” or “right, a correct choice”?
