**Topic:** The internet and computer games are producing a generation of children who cannot socialise. =====

**COCO**
We are convinced that the internet and computer games can bring about many benefits which can render children more socialise,And we have a number of reasons to support it. Firstly,the distance between us can be decreased through playing online games,and children also can make many friends who have the same interests. Secondly,the online games always require many students to organize a group to do a same mission,which can effectively improve their ability of team work. And sometimes ,many games necessitates players have excellent logic and perfect strategies. Thirdly,nowadays,children has lots of pressures came from both of schooling and parenting,so that playing internet games is a good way to help them relax.Playing online games has become more and more popular among all the children,if you can not play computer games ,you wii be alienated from other children. Additionally,children can not be physically hurt in the virtual world,but can enrich many experience to protect themselves in real life. In conclusion,playing online games can develops children's intelligence and make them more socialise.

**charaley**
In my opinion, by playing internet and computer games ,children would get more social and communication skills. They can also make friends with amount of people which is much more than the number of their friends in the real life. On the internet,it is easier to meet some strangers who with similar hobbies and share experiences. Moreover,outdoor activities like sports, travelling and shopping would bring physical injuries to children. However, they can do this with their friends in the computer games without any dangerous.Furthermore, Internet games include teamworks which also increases the sociability. Overall, online game do not restrain the sociability. On the contrary, it is a convenient and effective way for people to entertain and enjoy time with friends.

**Nicole:first speaker of despite the Internet, there will always be a need for books. **
Good afternoon, everyone. I represent our affirmative team to present our opinion that despite the Internet, there will always be a need for books.

As it is known to us all, books have a very bright and time-honoured history, which must be more than 4000 years. It is traditional and books represent a taste of life. Often, books are strongly related to elegance, knowledge and scholar.

In the second place, it’s real. You can feel it, touch it, make notes in it, and mark it, which is not available for Internet.

Furthermore, there are numerous negativities in Internet, such as damaging health, easily distracting by other things, difficult to make notes, not accessible all the time and tend to offer false information.

All the points I mention above, we firmly believe that no matter how Internet develop, there is no chance for books to disappear.

English have already play a very dominant role in the every corner of the world.People use English to study, do some research, communicate with other people and so on. It's influence increase greatly in recent 200 years.===== In the area of study,we can see that many academic research, scientific journal, classical book, they all use english, so in order to improve your academic ability, doing some further research, you have to learn English well. You even have have no choice. In the area of countries, right now, many developed countryies they all use English as their first language, these major economic countries control the world economy and rules. So, as a developing country, you have to obbey their rules, you have to use English, so that you can persue maximum profits. For developing countries, it is a general trend that many people study English, use English. Just like our class, many student from China come here to study English. Even in China, if you can speak English well, you can get a better job, the boss often care about your English level rather than your true ability. In conclusion, I think, English have already become a global trend, and it will be a international language in 25 years.

Firstly, In my opinion, just look over what Alvan said, language cannot be decided in areas. For hundreds of years, English speaking countries found new lands all over the world and brought their people there. So nowadays the developed countries are mostly speaking English, and control the world’s economy. Some important things such as meeting, authority files and official records are all in English. Secondly, people in developing countries who want to get further study in developed countries have to learn English for go abroad. And when they come home, they can use their knowledge and skills in local companies and get better pay. Furthermore, English is becoming an important ability in companies because the world is a whole big market; many companies have international businesses, especially for import and export.

**Leo** Language is a tool, we need to use this tool to communicate with each other. If English is not so important, why do you choose to come to this English-speaking country? Why are you studying English now? Nowadays, the developed countries take charge of global economy, in addition, most developed countries are English-speaking country like USA, England, Canada, also Australia. If you want trade with the developed countries, you should obey their rules. Additionally, no matter wherever you are, you can always see English signs or brands, and with the process of the globalisation of economy acceleration, more and more countries will join in. At that time, English will be the international language. =====

 * The first speaker**: Good afternoon, everyone! My topic is English will not be the international language in 25 years. We firmly believe it is right. Actually, I consider English is just the language which used in some areas, and it is not the international language. With the development of countries which are not speak English, the English speaking area will be more smaller in the future. Also, some countries change their official language from English to other languages, for instance, Singapore change their official language from English to English and Chinese. In addtion, the history decided that any languages cannot be an international language for a long period of time. Futhermore, those developed countries are more active trade with the developing countries, most of developing countries are not use English for their official language. Above all, I think the English will not be the international language in the future.=====

As is shown through our history,English was not the only predominant language in the world.For example, Lantin,Spanish and German also played an important role in linguistic ,cultural,scientific and other fields.It is widely known that German was the dominant language in scientific and mechanical domain.And currently,a number of advanced mechanical theories and scientific results are better in using German to study.Likewise, Latin also played a key role in publishing scientific and medical results which could probably made for protecting their achievement during the past(because there were few people understanding English in the past). As a result, we can use English in the next 25 years for its prevalent status,but we cannot overlook that other languages would possibly become the new dominant language in the future.This is why Google has made more than 100 languages in their webpages in order to extract more benifits. =====

====On the one hand, for the ecnomic needed, English will not be the International language in 25 years. From 1970 to 2000, developing countries want to trade with developed countries; therefore, thay studied hard to learn English. At that time, English is the most popular language for individuals to learn. However, after 2000 the developed countries prefer to trade with developing countries, such as China, more and more foreigners come to China study and run the business, then they studied the native language. So, the key language is not only English, but also other languages. On the other hand, for the cultural needed, English will not be the International language in 25years. Just imagination, if English would be the International language, how many small languages would disappear as the result of fewer and fewer speak their own languages. And according to my opinon, study other languages are the fantastic thing and bring people many fun and give the chance to people to understand other countries' culture. In conclusion, from the histroric experiences and scientists' future researches, English will not be the International language in 25years.====

Now I will show some reasons and instances to support our team's view. Firstly, addicting to the Internet and computer games make children neglect the real world. For example, they spend much time playing computer games, therefore, they will pay less attention to their study which provides the advanced knowledge and practical skills. If this situation continues, when the children grow up, they are hard to face to the fierce competition and stressful work. Secondly, it is harmful to promote them the physical, mental and emotional development. I firmly believe that children forget doing health exercises when they surf the Internet. It is bad for their wellbeing. Meanwhile, the contents of Internet include some violence and pornography. Children will learn these unhealthy things, therefore, they will not have the correct value of life. In other words, probably, they will commit to crime. For instance, there was a piece of news that a 8-year old boy killed his grandmother, just because he want to learn the way to kill a person which show in Internet. At the same time, because of the Internet, children are lack of the face to face communication, it also make them lonely, and lack of self-esteem in the reality. Lastly, children playing on-line games make them far away from the main stream of the society. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the society, it may promote a nagative tendency toward creativity and independence. However, the creativity and independence are the two important characters of young people in the society. It means that the children will go to the opposite orientation of the society. To my mind, the Internet and computer games are producing a generation of children who cannot socialize.

Topic: **The internet and computer games are producing a generation of children who cannot socialise.** We totally agree with this statement.It is no double that the internet and computer games are harmful to children's matures.There is an example which could support the arguement. A nine years old boy became a murderer who killed his parents only because of they didn't have extra money to pay for the cost of on-line games.This news was unbelieveable and shocking which warned us pay more attention to the negative effect of on-line game. Firstly,it is extremely easy for kids to be addicted in vitual world.That's because they don't have enough ability to resist the tempt. There will be a lot of unrealistic imagine in their minds which could cause them be tired of real life.As a result,they will close the hearts and be weak in communicating with other people. Secondly,internet and computer games must have resulted in a sharp drop of children's marks.They would spend most of time sitting at the front of the computers and ingore the importance of learning.They will gradully drift apat from their schoolmates. Thirdly,on-line game could be harmful to kids'physical health,such as eyes problem,even being resulted in pass away suddenly. To sum up,it is clearly that the internet and computer game exert a negative effect on the kids'mental and physical problem.

 * The frist speaker of the topic about books，we believe that books should be replaced by the Internet. there are two main reasons to support it. **
 * Fristly,Internet has been the main steam of media，bringing us a lot of information about everything,which is faster than books.Because books must expericed a long period of time to publish,such as editing,modifying and printing etc. But online books just need to update,which is efficient and up-to-minute.For example,if we need a dictionary,we can download a electronic dictionary on your phone,and check it whenever you want instead of taking a real dictionary wherever you go. **
 * Secondly,I have to say that now the protection of the environment is very important.But the process of making paper has detrimental influence on the environment.It is an usual way to waste natural resources.we need trees，water and various chemicals to publish books，which is not environmental-friendly. Consequently，we should use the Internet information as the alternative. **
 * Athough traditional books have existed more than 4000 years. But the reality is changing. we still believe that books will be replaced in the near future. **

__Topic : __ despite the Internet, there will always be a need for books. Third speaker, affirmative team.

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you Liu for your contribution, you pointed out some interesting arguments. I am first going to answer you, and than I am going to conclude on our groups main points. You were defending internet mainly because of its convenience, efficiency, and environmental advantages. It is true that internet is convenient, but you must also consider that you can’t always relieve on it. You may not have wifi, no more batterie or a computer breakdown, and you would consequently not be able to read your favourite book. You are right about the environmental issue, which is a very good point. Our only response to it, is that it is possible (although not ever applied) to produce paper in an environmental friendly way. To conclude we firmly believe that advantages about books outweigh the disadvantages, and I would like to stress a last point. In our opinion it is not only the content that matters, but also what surrounds it. And books have something that computers don’t have, that is a certain charm. It is different to read on a cold screen or in a real book. We therefore think that the internet will never replace books. Thank you for your attention.
