【辩论赛主持人台词英文版】As the clock ticks and the stage is set, the atmosphere in the room is electric with anticipation. Today, we are here to witness a battle of minds, a clash of ideas, and a test of eloquence. Welcome to the Debate Competition — a platform where logic meets passion, and words become weapons.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, and most importantly, our debaters. It is my great honor to welcome you all to this exciting event. Tonight, we will be engaging in a structured discussion on a topic that challenges our perspectives and encourages critical thinking.

Before we begin, let me take a moment to explain the format of the debate. This competition consists of two teams: the affirmative side, which supports the motion, and the negative side, which opposes it. Each team will have their turn to present arguments, respond to the opposing side, and conclude with a summary. The judges will evaluate not only the strength of the arguments but also the clarity of expression, the use of evidence, and the ability to persuade.

Now, I would like to introduce our panel of judges. They are respected educators and experts in various fields, and they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this competition. Their insights will help us determine the best performance of the night.

Let’s start by welcoming our first speaker from the affirmative team. Please give them a warm round of applause.

Thank you for your compelling presentation. Now, it's time for the opposition to respond. Please welcome the first speaker from the negative team.

[After the second speech]

We now move into the cross-examination phase, where each team will have the opportunity to challenge the other’s arguments. This is a crucial part of the debate, as it tests the depth of understanding and the ability to think on one’s feet.

Now, both teams will have a chance to deliver their closing remarks. These final speeches should summarize their key points, reinforce their positions, and leave a lasting impression on the judges and the audience.

That concludes the formal portion of the debate. Before we announce the results, I would like to thank all the participants for their hard work and dedication. This competition is not just about winning; it's about learning, growing, and sharpening your skills in communication and critical thinking.

Now, without further ado, let me invite our judges to share their verdicts. [Judges' comments and results announced.]

Congratulations to the winning team, and a big thank you to everyone who participated. May this debate inspire more discussions, more debates, and more thoughtful conversations in the future.

Thank you for joining us tonight. Goodnight, and may your minds remain open and curious.
