I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 452 If You Can, Go to the Moon
“Thanks for the opposing viewpoint, but we insist that studying abroad has significant benefits for personal development. First, although the cost of studying abroad is high, the long-term returns it brings are huge. The study abroad experience can help us accumulate valuable life experience and international perspectives, which cannot be measured by money. Secondly, cultural conflicts and language barriers are challenges, not obstacles, in the growth process of international students. By overcoming these difficulties, we can become stronger and more confident. Finally, the study abroad experience will not cause us to be out of touch with domestic society, but can provide us with more development opportunities and a broader stage.”

The person who spoke this time was Ding Xiaoxiao, a cute girl who seemed a little shy.

According to her, she came to participate in this debate competition to train herself.

"It would be better to let me play. I'm so shy even when I speak. My momentum is half gone."

"Then how should I say it?"

As soon as Li Yuqing finished speaking, the boy who had been ridiculed before looked at her with amusement.

"Of course, you need to hold your head high, enunciate clearly and fluently, and it's best if you can shout it out."

"Pfft, cough cough."

"You're laughing your ass off."

"Sorry, I can't hold it anymore."

The boy was amused by Li Yuqing and started trembling all over, covering his mouth.

"Thanks for the response from the affirmative side, but we still stick to our point of view. We admit that studying abroad can bring some benefits, but we must also see its negative effects. The high cost of studying abroad is a heavy burden for many families, which may lead to increased financial pressure on the family and affect the mental health of international students. I have seen some students' families sell their houses for their children to study abroad, and even borrow money from relatives and friends to study abroad. Those international students come to a foreign country and work while studying. When they return home, they still need to work to repay the huge debts. Why do they do this? In addition, cultural conflicts and language barriers may be insurmountable obstacles for some international students, which may make them unable to adapt to studying abroad and even cause serious psychological problems." A boy wearing glasses in the four-member team of Charles Darwin University read from the script.

This made Chen Xi stunned for a moment. Although the distance was a bit far, the lights on the stage were very strong, and he could still see a lot of words densely written on the paper.

It is really intriguing that such a long manuscript could be written in such a short time.

"That makes sense. I've met quite a few girls who work in clubs while attending school."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, did you go back to your country and find an honest man to marry after graduation?"

"You're wrong. Most of these people won't return to China because their families are not well-off. After graduation, they won't have any advantages. It's better for them to stay abroad."

"That makes sense, but I think going abroad can broaden your horizons. Although China is developing very fast, foreign countries are still more advanced now. After all, their foundation is better."

"Exactly. I think it's worth the money! I didn't even know how to cook or wash clothes before, and the nanny had to do it for me. Now I'm a life expert. Children in China are now spoiled and most of them can't survive without their parents. Some even need to be fed. They are just like giant babies."

"That's right, what can you do without encountering difficulties? You must overcome them. If you shrink back, you will never achieve anything great in your life."

This time the reaction from the audience was very intense, with everyone discussing so loudly that the people on the stage temporarily forgot about the next round of speeches.

"We want to emphasize that although studying abroad does have some challenges and costs, this does not negate its tremendous benefits to personal development. When facing challenges, international students can overcome cultural conflicts and language barriers through self-adjustment and learning, and this experience itself is a valuable growth. At the same time, with economic development and the country's emphasis on education, more and more families can afford to study abroad. Therefore, we cannot deny the universal benefits of studying abroad for personal development because of the difficulties of a few people." Fan Dahua spoke at this time, drawing the attention of everyone present back.

Van Dahua is dressed in all branded clothes and drives a sports car to school. It is said that his family is in the clothing business.

In the past, the clothing business was considered very profitable. Just putting an English name that Chinese people couldn’t understand on a product would make it look high-end and people would be willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it.

His view is shared by many international students from well-off families.

These people think that the cost of studying abroad is not worth mentioning at all, it is just a small amount of money.

The money earned in a few months or a year at home is enough to pay for studying abroad. "We respect the views of the affirmative side, but we must point out that everyone's situation is different. For some people, studying abroad may not be suitable for their development needs. They may be able to obtain good educational resources and development opportunities in their own country without spending a huge amount of money to study abroad. In addition, we should also pay attention to those who have suffered setbacks and failures because of studying abroad. Their experiences tell us that studying abroad is not always beneficial." People from Charles Darwin University spoke again.

"Ha, then why did you come to study abroad? What bullshit is this?"

"That's right, you told others not to study abroad? And you came here to study abroad? Are you afraid of others competing with you?"

"Haha."

"I think what he said makes sense. What can't you do with the money you earn from studying abroad? Buying a few houses and eating and drinking and waiting for appreciation will be enough to live on for the rest of your life. Now that house prices in China are rising so fast, you might as well spend your money where it counts."

"Failures happen everywhere. If this is the theory, then don't do anything well. It's like saying that you won't fail if you don't go abroad."

"It's not impossible to go to university in China... but it seems that returnees are more popular now."

"Actually, what he said makes sense. It's still relatively unsafe abroad. Look at the recent Sydney massacre. My scalp tingles when I think about it. People get murdered every year at Boxhill High School."

"That's wrong. Such murders can happen in any country, unless you go to the moon."

As soon as the speaker from Charles Darwin University finished his speech, the audience went into an uproar again.

He was also very depressed. The question was actually very poorly posed, and they had been drawn to the opposing side, so they were not at an advantage at all.

"Well, we still insist that studying abroad has significant benefits for personal development. Although studying abroad does have some challenges and costs, this does not negate the long-term returns and positive impacts it brings. The experience of studying abroad can provide us with a unique global perspective, exercise independent living and problem-solving skills, and establish international connections, which are not available in China. At the same time, we should also see that studying abroad is not an option for everyone, but it is undoubtedly an opportunity worth trying for those who are determined to pursue higher-level education and career development. Therefore, we insist that studying abroad is beneficial to personal development." At this time, Shen Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward to summarize.

The judges present looked at each other and began to score.

In fact, the affirmative side has an absolute advantage in this topic, because everyone present is in Australia. If you say that studying abroad is not a good thing, more than 80% of people will probably not agree, especially the judges, because there are people from the consulate and education department among them.

Chen Xi secretly rejoiced in his heart that Li Yuqing had made a great contribution this time. If she had not drawn the positive lot, his side would have been in great danger.

He didn't know who wrote this kind of thing, but he had a vague feeling that this piece of paper seemed to have been made intentionally for him.

But with so many schools participating, anyone could be selected, or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

"Good performance, you'll be substituted in later." After the teammates came back, Chen Xi praised them with a smile.

However, he was not very satisfied in his heart. The performance of the few people just now was not very good. They kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again, which was almost the same as Swinburne's students.

If these people were allowed to play again and were drawn on the opposing side, the result would probably not be so good.

Chen Xi looked at the remaining team members and selected three of them, including Li Xin, and then kept Shen Xinyi.

Li Xin looked at Chen Xi suspiciously, not understanding why he was so willing to let him play. He had always thought that Chen Xi didn't want him to be in the limelight, so he kept obstructing him.

However, he changed his mind and realized that since he could be on the stage with Shen Xinyi, he had to perform well.
