2020年初，我们共同面对着一场突如其来的新冠疫情，这促使了我们立足全球视角，思考本次疫情对全球一体化的影响。5月复学伊始，我校六年级组便启动了题为“疫情过后，全球一体化进程是加快还是减慢”的探究课题项目。
In early 2020, we are collectively facing an unexpected epidemic, which has prompted our students and faculty to consider it from a global perspective. At the start of the school year in May, our Year 6 team launched an inquiry project entitled ‘Will globalization grow faster or slower after COVID-19?
在学科学习中，学生们围绕“新冠疫情”展开了关于其各个方面的知识。比如在“新冠疫情后的全球趋势”的主题讲座中，学生们从全球化、工业化、资本化等关键词入手，了解全球化的发展阶段以及中国在各阶段下的发展变化。
In their academic studies, the students were able to explore various aspects of COVID-19. For example, in the debate ‘Will globalization grow faster or slower after COVID-19?’, students were discussing around key concepts including globalization, industrialization, and capitalization to understand the development stage of globalization and the development and changes of China in each stage.
学科学习的成果和自主研究的成果以辩论赛和主题汇报的形式进行展示。在经过辩论赛培训后，备战多时的辩手们终于开始“对战”了。本次比赛在六年级四个班中展开，比赛分为半决赛和决赛，半决赛两场，决赛一场。
The results of their academic studies and independent research will be presented in the form of debates and presentations. After the debate training, the debaters finally started their “battle”.
在正反双方智囊团的积极助力下，各位辩手经过开篇立论、质询环节、自由辩论和总结陈词。在半决赛6A和6D的对辩中，最打动评委的是6A班级。在6B班和6C班的对辩中，最打动评委的是6B班级，王辰辰同学因赛场上的精彩表现获得本场的“最佳辩手”。半决赛角逐出的6B班和6A班再次对垒，相同的辩题却展现出了另类的风采，在思维的碰撞中，最终打动评委的是6B班，同时徐南方同学获得了“最佳辩手”的荣誉称号。
With the cooperation of the Chairman and the timekeeper, and the active assistance of the think tanks of both sides, the debaters went through the opening arguments, questioning sessions, free Debate and summary statements, (you can add novel ideas from each debater). During the debate between class 6A and class 6D, what impressed the judges the most was Selena Xu from Class 6A who won the “Best Debater” for her outstanding performance in the competition. In the debate between Class B and Class C, Class 6B was the most impressed by the judges, and Sophia Wang won the “Best Debater” award for her brilliant performance in the competition. Class 6A and Class 6B entered the finals. The winner was 6B and Selena Xu won the honorary title of “Best Debater”.
从此次辩论中，我们可以看到一位优秀的辩手，首先要学识广，其次要具备良好的逻辑思维能力，对具有社会意义的辩题能够理解其社会价值所在。通过此次辩论赛，同学们提升了个人的思辨能力，锻炼了批判性思维。这项辩题也引导着同学们立足全球视野，为将来成为一名合格的全球公民作出充分准备。
From this debate, we can see that an excellent debater needs to be knowledgeable and logical. The students were able to understand the social value of debates that have social significance. Through this competition, students were able to enhance their critical thinking skills and practice critical thinking ability. This debate also guided them to think from a global perspective and prepare themselves to become a qualified global citizen in the future.
