Features: In today's world, 350 million people speak English as their native language, 350 million speak it as a second language, and another 100 million can use it freely. With economic globalization and the increasing influence of English-speaking countries like the United States, English is becoming an international language. English is no longer the official language of just a few countries but has become a true global lingua franca. Applying this logic, with a little modification, it's not a problem for English learners. Your opinion doesn't matter much; the key is that once you take a stance, you must stick to it firmly in a debate and never give up. Moreover, you should at least speak correctly, strive to speak well, and aim to speak brilliantly. Each topic in the book is divided into two opposing viewpoints. Of course, practicing in groups of two or even four before attending English corners is even more effective. Divide into two sides—one side prepares to "agree" and the other prepares to "disagree." Then, go to the English corner with your skills polished. Winning or losing doesn't matter; you are all experts in English debate on this topic.
