南崎觉得辩论是最能锻炼英文的形式，在紧张高强度的对抗中，辩手需要全神贯注去听对方的观点（这其实是听力训练），然后要组织自己的反击语言（这其实是写），然后再通过语言表现出来（这就是说）。
Students at Philinter Education Center take on a more serious dare with this year’s Philinter Debate. Held on April 28th, 2017, the activity challenged wits and beliefs while enhancing one’s comfort with the English language.
The contenders, in the 3-part challenge, delivered constructive speeches, underwent interpellation and rebuttals, and presented a closing argument. Native Teacher Mr. Mike and Russian Manager Ms. Sasha sat on the panel of judges. The debaters were judged according to organization, respect for other team, use of cross-examination and rebuttal, presentation style, and use of facts and statistics.
Ultimately, Taiwanese student Sendy, Vietnamese student Alex, and Japanese student T.K. were named best debaters for their outstanding performance in the topics of divorce, death penalty, and same-sex marriage which they respectively covered.
The Debate 2017 was hosted by Teachers Jes and Sam and was peppered with entertaining numbers by students and teachers from sections A, B, C, D and G.
