[2015·云南高中毕业统测一]Speak confidently

　　and think logically. Year 13 schoolboy Arunabh Prakash can't agree more. Arunabh is one of the five students that will represent New Zealand at the 26th World Schools Debating Championships (WSDC) to be held in Thailand from August 5 to 15 this year.

　　“You've got to be persuasive, regardless of the fact that you believe in a topic or not，” says the 17­year­old.

　　“There are a lot of speakers who are eloquent (雄辩的) but find it difficult to think logically and then there are those who have a good argument but can't deliver.”

　　“Endurance (忍耐力) is another quality，” he says. “One must have to tackle opponents in the heated arena (竞争舞台) of expressing opinions and ideas.”

　　“There are times when you have to debate for five hours at a go and are completely exhausted. It's quite intense. You must have the energy to debate for long hours，” says Arunabh, who began debating in Year 10.

　　The WSDC is a debating competition in the world for high school students from different countries. It involves four prepared debates and four impromptu debates－debates without specific preparations.

　　To gain selection for the national team for the global final, Arunabh had to compete with regional teams. Despite the mounting pressure, he says he was confident of winning.
